I sold mine for half that (I think it was $700 before shipping)! I wasn't working for like a year there and was just short money one month so I had to sell something. It's funny because I've pretty much sold all of the stuff that I held onto and that Daredevil bust is the only thing I've regretted selling. If I had known what I know now then I would have sold all of my DC statues instead!

Hollywood suffers from that liberal mental illness where they think they are morally and intellectually superior to everyone. Do as we say, not as we do! Oh, I better be careful before I trigger on all these protesters. I just got a shipping notice from Best Buy. I better calm down, ha.

Do you ever think that some superheroes would be better of killing their enemies? I mean Joker killed Robin and crippled Barbara Gordon. Bullseye has now killed both Elektra and Karen Page in the comics. Wouldn't they be better off just taking these people out?

How much more do you think you could have gotten for the DD bust today? That guy thats selling it for $1300 seems really insane, you don't think it will sell at that price do you? I've luckily never regretted selling anything yet. It would have been better to sell the DC statues back then, but I don't think you would have known that. When the Batman PF EX sold out it immediately skyrocket to $800 on eBay! But then it plummeted a couple months after that. Its so hard to gauge what will be worth what and when. Maybe in a while there will be a flood of DD busts available that everyone tries to sell at once.

That's just why I hate Hollywood. Its so rare when to find an actor/actress that isn't a total tool. Watching their award shows is the worst! It just makes me hate them all lol.

Ha! Awesome, good to hear! Mine just arrived .

I think they'd be a lot better off. But in the comics does anyone really ever stay dead? I'm really not a big fan of the Robin/Red Hood story line. I thought the Joker killing Robin part was great, but them bringing Robin back was stupid. Whatever Batman would have learned from that experience went right down the toilet.

I don't know. I would rather just still have it! I hope it doesn't sell at that price. The last one I saw on there was probably 4 months ago and I think he was asking that insane amount at first too, but kept dropping it then finally put it on auction. I think it still sold for $900+. I don't think the market is going to all the sudden be flooded with a bust that's not in production anymore, as much as I'd like to see that happen!

Hollywood is the worst. They are constantly having award shows to pat each other on the back and suck their own you know what's. I love when Joaquin Phoenix said the race to win an Academy Award is bulls--t, but I think he's since went back on his stance and made nice with them. Plus they can't figure out that us citizens struggling to get by don't need to be told how to live by a bunch of rich, out of touch people.

You're right that everyone comes back. Of those four I listed, both Elektra and Robin came back plus Barbara is no longer paralyzed. Poor Karen has been dead for the last 20 years though, I doubt they'll ever bring her back since she's not a superhero.

It probably won't but every now and then I see 2 or 3 auctions of a rare statue pop up within weeks of each other, and other times one of them won't pop up for a half a year or more. Its so impossible to predict the after market, sometimes you just get lucky and a deal will land in your lap right at the right time, other times you will look for a piece for months only to finally find one priced at $1K+. I hope someday you'll be able to get the bust back if you want it at a reasonable price. If you want I'll try to keep an eye out for one. I always liked that DD bust.

I think he's right it is total b.s., but then he went and made quite a few of those weird movies the Hollywood scene really likes lol. Sometimes I watch those award shows just so I can laugh out loud at my tv during their hypocritical acceptance speeches.

Didn't they bring her back for the Daredevil show though lol. Or do you think they are planning on killing her off the same way as in the comics?

True. What I need to happen is a few go on sale at the same time to drive the price down. I put up a wanted listing on the Facebook page so hopefully someone has one to sell eventually.

Did you ever see that Tim Allen interview where he compared Hollywood to Nazi germany? It's funny because the left calls everyone nazis, but he was saying you get beat up in those liberal places if you have different views.

Yeah Karen's in the tv show. That's no different than Gwen Stacy being in the Spider-Man movies. I think if they ever introduce Bullseye then there's a good chance she'll die. I can't imagine them killing Elektra again. Daredevil dates Black Widow, maybe they should bring her in.

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

There probably won't be a villain. It will just be two hours of him sitting in his hut and spying on Luke with binoculars. No dialogue or action.

Well I think there are new collectors coming in at these prices so they don't see the big deal with them. It's looking like statue collecting is becoming a rich person's game...or stupid people who get caught up in hype, ha ha. I just paid retail plus like $70 to my top secret contact for Doc Ock.

I have no idea who Erik Sosa is. I was looking in the Prototypez section on the Statue Forum to see some of his sculpts. The real question is how tall that Prime 1 Superman will be. He's actually floating on a large base!

I still have all of my PotF figures in the package. I don't think the packages are in good shape at this point though.

In the nuts? Dang, those things hurt! We used to play all the time when I was 20-21. I still have two guns, but haven't touched them in probably 14 years.



Dang, everywhere has these arcade bars except Montana! I was talking to one of my friends in South Dakota and she said that Rapid City even has one. If I had the money, I'd open one here!

You just need to alternate daily. I have 4 beanies so I have the same problem during the winter, ha.

Haha! Yeah, I've been alternating depending on where we go. Back roads get Boba, City gets Kylo.

That's be a good idea. Get a loan and do it!

Luke shouldn't be in the movie unless it's like at the end where Ben watches him from afar and then the credits roll.

I know! This should have been the first spinoff they did! At least its finally happening though. I hope Ewan confirms he's coming back for the role soon.



Ha! I'd probably still see that just because its Star Wars lol. I wonder how old Luke will be in this. I hope he's old enough to have at least somewhat of a substantial role.

I think it also has to do with an addiction to this stupid hobby. If you are already 6 characters or more deep into a line you will probably want to complete the line and the further you get into it the harder it is to get yourself out of it.

I bet Prime 1 Supes will be around 36" tall. Maybe even bigger. That will definitely be the ultimate Superman collectible for you.

I think I still have all of my card backs for my PotF figures, but I just tore the plastic blister packaging right off of it. At that age I didn't think to cut the plastic off to help preserve the card back. Its just another reason why I want to rebuy them all.

Yup, I shot him right in the nuts . We were in an indoor paintball arena and he came out from hiding behind one of those fake building partitions. He must have slipped on the floor and he fell backwards and I was standing over him and I just lit him up right in the nuts!

Dude that's brutal! I love it!

A really young Luke would be kinda cool to see. They could have had a good movie with MAUL tracking Ben to Tatooine, but no, they had to kill MAUL in stupid rebels!

It's gotta be Ewan. I honestly hope they go back and do a The Clone Wars era movie with Hayden back and a live action Ahsoka.

What, you don't want to see a T-16 race between Luke and Biggs down Begger's Canyon? The scene would look like this:

If Luke is in this he'll probably be younger than he would be there anyways and he'll probably only be in a scene or two.

No I wasn't trying to shoot him there but that's just where the paintballs went lol. It wasn't really that bad, we still joke about it to this day.

Did you get Chirrut? I can't remember if I asked you this already.

You should do an entire Superman shrine, or a Superman-only Besta or PAX.

Now Ben watching that would actually be Sweet! Kinda like the podrace event from TPM.

I don't need or want to see the Kessel Run either. I'm not even so sure I'd want to see Luke in a T-16 either. But unfortunately I think they are going to have the Kessel Run and Han winning the Falcon from Lando in the Han Solo movie. I think a big reason the prequels were received the way they were is because they showed too many things that people were leaving up to their imagination up to that point, and then when they actually saw it on screen it was nothing like they thought it was going to be.

I remember you talking about that. I suggested you paint the walls blue, red and yellow and you should still do that! Plus you should get this: https://www.fathead.com/heroes/superman/superman-logo/ and this: https://www.fathead.com/heroes/superman/superman-justice-league/

No, I'm not subscribing to Netflix anymore. I heard a lot of people online talking about The Defenders. Is it any good?

That Chirrut looks awesome! It looks just like him!

I haven't encouraged you to buy a PS4 in awhile. You should watch this, then go and buy one so you can be ready for it :

I saw that a few days ago. Damn it's going to be epic!!

Just started on Defenders and love it! Only planned to watch one episode that night and was up to 3am watching several

Wow that sucks. I haven't been following this release on the forums at all. Is it just the steelbooks that are getting delayed? I think picking it up is a good plan, I hope they won't cancel people's orders, but if these are a limited edition there is no telling what they will do.

Basically after being a man-hating feminist for years, his ex-wife just came out saying that he's been lying and pretending to be a feminist to get women to sleep with him, and he cheated on his wife for 15 years with women he works with. I've got a feeling this guy isn't going to get to do any more movies with a strong female lead.

I've never liked that dude. I won't judge him for that, I just don't care for his smug better than you attitude.

I didn't even know the Facebook group had a want list. You damn kids and your Mybooks and Facespaces . That want list is a really good idea though.

I did! Its hilarious because they can't see their own hypocrisy! In Hollywood you either have to go along with the program, or you don't get work.

Isn't Gwen back in the comics as Spider-Gwen? WTF kind character is that? I'm so glad I don't read any of this current Marvel crap. They should bring Black Widow into Daredevil though.

Haha! Yeah, I've been alternating depending on where we go. Back roads get Boba, City gets Kylo.

I've never liked that dude. I won't judge him for that, I just don't care for his smug better than you attitude.

Putting Luke in there right before the end would be perfect.

Is there any chance that they can uncannonize Rebels entirely?

If they get anyone else other than Ewan I will be so pissed! I'd so love a TCW live action movie with Hayden, and then they could have Ahsoka in there too if they don't give her her own movie. But I don't think that's going to happen. I'm sure you're noticing this but it seems like the SW Universe is getting smaller. They are really milking the OT characters for all they're worth right now and they are completely afraid of giving us any movies set in the Prequel era or before. Everything new they want to do is right before ANH. I'm hoping this changes but with an Obi-Wan movie coming, a Boba Fett movie coming and now I've heard they are going to do a Jabba the Hutt movie . That last one is a really odd choice. I'd love to see them do something set in between Eps I and II or II and III, but that's not going to be happening for quite awhile I think. Not to mention no sign of a Knights of the Old Republic movie or something around then.

I've never liked that dude either and always got a condescending vibe from him. I'm in the minority but I wish Zack Snyder never would have left Justice League.

I agree that's the only way I'd have Luke in it. I'm trying to figure out what the movie will be about. Will Obi-Wan travel to Dagobah to see Yoda at any point? They can't have him cross paths with Vader because that wouldn't make sense.

I'm glad somebody else likes the Netflix Marvel shows!

Well it's a buy, sell, trade group so you can just post if you're looking for something as well.

Yeah, I have no clue what the deal is with Spider-Gwen. I think she's supposed to be Gwen on an alternate Earth, but I'm not sure if they pulled her over into the main universe like they did Miles Morales. She's super popular. I have a feeling her first appearance comic book will be one of the few recent ones worth money. I read the first issue of her solo series and didn't care for it.

Do you think Bestas would be a good display option for my Tweeterhead statues? I mean the Harley is about 18 inches tall and Supergirl is 16 inches. I have an extra Besta that I don't use so I was thinking I'd use it for that.

That's why I'm wondering who the villain will be. They obviously can't do a Vader/Obi-Wan fight, but I'd love to see some lightsaber action in there. I've got a feeling this movie will feature pretty much all new characters. I don't think he'll go to Dagobah to see Yoda, I think the whole thing will take place on Tatooine. Maybe Jabba will make an appearance.

I don't even know who Miles Morales is either lol. I mean I've seen who is his, but I know nothing of his story.

A besta will definitely work out. You're going to need something tall because Harley is already 18" tall, and the line is just getting started. I think a PAX would be too big for this scale, I think it would be unnecessarily deep. Another option would be a Billy, they are a little wider than a Besta, but not as deep. You could probably fit more in a line on a shelf with one of those. But since you've got a spare Besta go with that and see how they look .

I watched Guardians 2 last night. I think it could be my favorite MCU movie to date. I didn't see that coming lol.

Yeah I'm interested to see what the plan is with the storyline. Of course I want to know very little going into it!

Miles took over as Spider-Man after Peter Parker "died" in the ultimate universe. He was one of the few characters who was pulled over from the ultimate universe to the main universe.

I shall use my Besta then and see what they look like. Pretty silly that I'm worried about something that won't be released for months, ha. I spend way too much time thinking about how to display things! It looks like IKEA is discontinuing the Striberg. They better have something new to replace it!

You hadn't seen Guardians had you? I saw it twice in the theater, it was pretty good. I still liked the first one more. My copy won't get here until Friday.

I'm the same but I'm sure I'll watch the trailers 300 times each lol.

I've never been a fan of all of these multi Universe storylines from either Marvel or DC. I think they just created these things so they could come up with some complex way of rewriting their screw ups lol. It also makes it hard to keep up with what you're reading if you just jump in.

Its definitely not silly at all. I'm always thinking about how I'm going to display a new item once I've ordered it. Its way better to have everything thought out well ahead of time so you can reserve display space or start putting away funds for a new display months in advance if needed. That way when you get the item you get to display it instead of leaving it in the crappy brown shipper and just staring at that thing. I can't wait to see how your Tweeterhead collection turns out!

I absolutely hate when Ikea discontinues stuff! You basically have to buy 3 or 4 times the amount that you need just so you have stuff in reserve for when they do discontinue what you need. But having said all that, I'm super geeked because they are building an Ikea by me that's only going to be 20 minutes away and its opening next year!

No it was my first time seeing it. I actually liked it more than the first one because for me the first one suffered from my biggest problem I have with some of the MCU; a completely forgettable villain. I can't even remember who it was in the first one lol. But I haven't seen it in like a year so that's not helping either. I thought Kurt Russell was so awesome in this and was probably one of my favorite MCU villains.

I've been good at avoiding trailers for movies I want to see. I only see them when they show them as previews at the theater...and I usually go to the bathroom during the previews before the movie starts.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who spends my time thinking about my collection. Does that mean we're addicts? ha ha. I'm so jealous you're going to have an IKEA nearby! Closest one to me is in Denver which is only a short 8 hour drive. I guess I'll go again in March when I'm in Seattle. They better just be renaming the Striberg lights and not eliminating them!

Dude, Ronan the Accuser is the villain in the first GotG! They did kind of ruin him in the movie though. He was badass in those cosmic comics I read, he was actually fighting on the side of good most of the time out of necessity. He even joined the Annihilators and fought alongside Silver Surfer, Gladiator, Quasar, and Beta Ray Bill! I'm not sure Ego the living planet ever had a human form in the comics. I did like that we got more Nebula in the sequel, I hope they continue to utilize her.

Ha! I guess thats smart. But I know it would be one million percent impossible for me to ever resist watching a SW trailer. The best I can do is avoid spoiler talk on the forums, and not purposely go seeking out tv spots to watch. In all honesty I will probably watch the Obi-Wan trailers as much as I did the TFA ones, if not even more!

We are definitely addicts. But I'm way worse than you thanks to my justification of buying ludicrously priced stuff. I still can't believe I let myself get to this point lol. When I first started I told myself I couldn't even afford the $250 Darth Maul LSB I bought, and within 4 years I managed to go full ****** on what I was willing to spend! And I think Lou completely broke his statue addiction! I envy him right now and my wallet envies him lol.

It could be a bad thing with an Ikea so close to me because it just makes it easier to buy more bestas now and talk myself into buying more statues .

Oh yeah now I remember his name lol. I still think he was lame and forgettable. Please don't hate me . I really liked how they fleshed out Nebula a lot more in this one. And Yondu too! He was my favorite character from this one.

The Wonder Woman on horse statue is going to be $3600. I don't have to worry about where I'm going to put it anymore lol.

Are we ever going to get an actual Episode VIII trailer??? Are they saving it for next Friday? I will definitely avoid any spoiler talk. HBO got hacked and all of the Game of Thrones scripts were leaked. Of course there are douches who keep posting it everywhere. I remember before I saw The Force Awakens I was reading an article on football and right there in the comments section someone wrote "Han is killed by his son in Episode VII." What kind of miserable human beings get pleasure from spoiling things for others? I hate the Internet because these people deserve to be beaten and there's no way to find out who they are!

Ha, well I'm spending just as much as you are. I'm just buying a larger quantity of smaller items. There are so many 1:6 Star Wars releases that are coming out at the moment. My IG-88 just shipped, I think the Death Star Gunner is shipping next week, and HT just put up the production photos of Jyn so she should be shipping soon too. I haven't ordered her yet, people are going crazy on Facebook saying the production sculpt is the worst thing ever. I think Lou just shifted his addiction to something else, ha.

I don't hate you for ripping on Ronan. Like I said, they did a terrible job with him in the movie. Yondu was definitely the best part of the movie! Hot Toys released the production photos for him today too, they knocked that one out of the park.

The Wonder Woman on horse statue is going to be $3600. I don't have to worry about where I'm going to put it anymore lol.

But you'll have an IKEA nearby so you have no excuse not to get her. That's an absurd price, I will agree that you're out of your mind if you buy that!

Everyday I keep thinking "is the TLJ trailer going to drop today" and it never comes. I guess they must be saving it till next Friday. If not then who knows. Is this movie so terrible they are afraid of it? If anything I'd think they'd crank out as much as they could for this movie to get people to stop talking about how terrible things are on the Han movie. I remember there was a story about a guy in a Jeep driving around with Han Solo Dies written on it right when TFA opened. People can be really terrible. You've got to almost completely avoid the entire internet the week leading up to a new SW movie, because people will talk about it everywhere not just in SW comment sections. And avoid Yahoo at all costs! They'll probably post a headline like "Rey's parentage revealed" and then it will have a picture of the person behind it .

You and your Death Star Gunner . At least it looks really cool. Its cool that you've got some stuff to open soon, that's always exciting. I guess I better go and buy some Funko pops or something to open lol. I haven't seen the Jyn pictures yet I'll have to go look.

I did see the Yondu HT this morning on Instagram and he looks so freaking cool! Are you getting him?

I don't know about that, I can already think of 3600 reasons not to get her . You could almost get 2 1:2s for that price! I'm starting to worry about how much their Doomsday is going to cost.

I'm pretty sure we'll wake up next Friday to the trailer. Are you going to go to any of the stores on Force Friday? I should check on which Lego sets are coming out since my nephew's birthday is the next day. I'm sure they'll all still be there that evening though.

I remember hearing about that jeep guy. What a pathetic POS. You're right, Yahoo will write 'spoilers' in the headline, but post the picture to give it away. They are the worst.

It would be cool, but I haven't been opening them lately because I'm out of room! I need to figure out how I'm going to display my 1/6 figures. The only bad thing is even if I figure out how I want to display them there's no IKEA near me. Grrrrr...

I am passing on Yondu. I was VERY tempted to get the Guardians of the Galaxy figures, but I had to tell myself no Hot Toys Marvel. I can't afford another line. Although that rule doesn't apply to Daredevil.

Yeah, Doomsday may end up being a pass if he costs an insane amount of money.

 

[SithLord84]

I just looked at the Jyn photos. I'd have to agree with the majority though, it is pretty awful considering how great it used to look.

Maybe it will look fine with the hat on if you can cast a shadow over the face. The expression isn't doing this any favors either, she looks really weird in action poses.

And this one looks the worst.

WTF happened to this thing?

I hope you are right. I don't know if I can go on any longer without a trailer. You're going to have to get this Lego set :

Are you going to get detolfs eventually for your HTs?

You ordered that HT Daredevil right?

Hmmmm...I saw some videos and it didn't look that bad, but those pictures do look worse from certain angles. I guess I'm not an over reactionary person who proclaims things the worst ever after a couple of photos. I'll wait until people actually have it to decide. I mean I've seen some people call sculpts I like absolutely terrible so it's all subjective. Someone posted that Sideshow's Premium Formats of Rey, Jyn, Bespin Luke, and Bespin Han are all better sculpts than Hot Toys...yeah we'll see how those look when they come out and I disagree on a couple of them already.

That Lego set is sweet! So apparently the BB droids have taken over R2 units on fighters.

No, I don't like Detolfs. You can only display 2 figures on a shelf and even then they look crammed in there.

Of course I ordered the HT Daredevil!

I'm totally over reactionary lol. But this looks like they took the head off of the Jyn in Imperial Disguise and plopped it on this one. I was never a fan of that head sculpt at all, I thought their first Jyn was nearly perfect. Head sculpts will always be subjective though. But as of now I do think the Jyn PF head does look better than this one . I still don't like the Rey PF head. It doesn't really matter anyways because the paint Sideshow uses on the production versions for flesh tones will completely kill a good sculpt even if the statue has one. HT has them whooped in that department. I just wish Hot Toys could learn to stop with the "death stare" with so many of their sculpts lol.

I guess they are. Are the R2 units now obsolete?

You can still use a Besta for HTs and it will look great. All you need is one of these mini shelves: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40295552/ and then you can fit between 6-8 of them comfortably in each cube.

Good I'm glad you got that one ordered.
