Hey AF, sorry to take so long to reply, but it seems you have the general idea worked out now anyway. I have the Aliens maquette and you are aware that that one was $800. Not that I paid that, I got a sweet deal from a dealer with direct shipping from Sideshow, and free shipping at that. I love that (thanks ozzy).
Anyway, a few things lead me to believe this piece will approach the grand mark.
One is that I like it, and as a huge Alien and Sideshow fan, don't see myself going without it. So there's that.
Another is the price of the Aliens version at $800, and he is crouching. This new Alien seems to be standing fully erect. No jokes people, this is the big chap we are talking about. In reality, he should be way larger than the Aliens from Cameron's epic anyway, as they were tiny contortionists or whatever. Very effective yes, but not Bolaji, right?
Another thing is the continually rising costs, less people ordering syndrome, dying economy, get the consumer's money while you can situation the world is in.
At any rate,
I'm getting a $900 vibe, and fully intend to contact my seldom used (only for extremely high end/priced items) dealer and hope there is not an exclusive on this one.
But if there is an exclusive, I would kill an Ewok for Jones in 1/4 scale to go along with my Big Chap!
Are you listening Sideshow?
Im in the same boat as you my friend the most ive been spending so far is 500 and thats for the terminater combat version t 800 bust. I mostley collect premium formatts and hot toys my first mauqette will be here tommorow thats the iron man mark 1 and i have the warmachine ex an mark 6 mauqette on waitlist.
