Topic: SDCC 2013 Magnitude Ackbar Exclusive Mini-Bust

So what do you think of this one? Priced at $175!







Here is the GG Pre-Order Link

Looks like PGM can order and it will ship after SDCC.

This is SO hard for me to not order!  Admiral Ackbar was always one of my favorite aliens in the Star Wars universe, and this rendition is just too cool!  Almost makes me wish I were a PGM member again.

What do you think about the price Pat? I know mini-busts go for around $80 now, but $175 even for an exclusive seems a little excessive.

[Phatty]

It's more than a bit excessive.  When I got into these, mini-busts could be had for 445-$55 apiece, maybe $75 for a deluxe.  Now the bargain basement, no frills or thrills busts are starting out at $80+  Sure, this is a wonderful work of art in a beautifully crafted wooden box, but $175 is insane.  Sideshow has gotten just as bad, seeing as my first SSC piece was a SDCC Exclusive Anakin/Vader for $55 and now the're almost 4 times that.  This is the sole reason I really don't collect anymore; I just can't afford to.

I hear you man. I just hope some of these high end companies do too.
