You know whats funny?
When the new Deadpool PM was released 2 months ago at $699.99 EVERYONE moaned and complained. SS basically released a statement saying that they knew the Deadpool price was high but it wasn't for everyone. That the new price was not going to be the norm. It was for very serious DP fans and collectors and not to worry that future releases will fall back into a more normal Premium format price range ($450-$499 now it seems).
2 months later.... whammo! Bane at $699.99
Who were they kidding?
The new Spidey 2099 statue is also $699. It looks pretty awesome, but 700 bones? No way. If this is the new trend going forward, I'm out. Hell, you can get a prime statue for just a couple hundred more, and those things are enormous.
