Until yesterday I had no idea that Rogue and Sabretooth were canceled because of low pre-order numbers. Now I'm kinda worried, and disheartened, that the entire line is looking to end short and that I'll have invested my money into only two or three pieces (or into how many ever pieces are released).
Now, while these statues (so far) are fine, they're not excellent. What really sells these (for me) is that they're based on poplar designs (Jim Lee's artwork from the 90's), are all in the same format/scale with each other, and had a new piece being released every other month.
If it's just gonna die at piece number six (piece number four when you take away Rogue and Sabretooth), why bother? Gambit's release is all the way ahead in December, meaning we probably won't even know if the line will continue past him until his pre-order numbers are decided on as being good or bad. And even then, are we gonna have to wait six months between every new release instead of two??
I'm on the fence, myself. I just picked up Wolverine yesterday (it's when my comic shop told me of the other cancellations), and I've had Psylocke for a month or so already. I skipped Sideshows Cyclops PF, thinking/hoping it was gonna be released in the Danger Room line anyways, but now.... I don't know. I don't want to skip pieces from other companies in hoping that Koto will release the same character in the Danger Room series and them (Koto) being silent about the line and if it will continue or not past Gambit is just annoying =/
