There's many pieces I've not ordered simply because I'll try and find it locally because I can't justify $200 for the EX piece. The aftermarket on FB in Oz is pretty good and I've picked up a couple of XM pieces cheap by just playing the long game. That's what I'm doing with Deathstroke...
Because I'm a sucka. I really do want that EX head to be awesome in hand. I'll take my chance with it first.
I've basically given up on EX pieces now, like you said, it's easier to go through a local.....but it's Rogue
Well, Rogue has been my fave female character for over 30 years and since money isn't a problem for this ninny, I decided to preorder the EX.
I did that because I'm hoping the portraits will surprise me when in hand, and/or someone will do a custom portrait for the piece once it's out.
I'm pretty sure this is a discussion forum isn't it? That means you're free to discuss things and volunteer opinions....or are you saying that it should only be positive opinions and we keep quiet about things we don't like?
In other news, I was looking at the pics of this piece......close one...
