  1. +1 $4 MIL. My guess as well. I really want to see some pics of this book right now
  2. The picture quality does not affect how beautiful that shot looks!
  3. Yeah I was kind of excited for AC Unity but then I saw them releasing AC Rogue on the older consoles and was like be more money hungry Ubisoft. yeah i think that was dumb of them to do, if anything they could have release AC Unity early next year. Very true, in saying that I have loved the franchise so I'll still get both to play. So keen for Arkham Knight though. I know, the anticipation is gonna kill me
  4. It just looks like everyone prepared well for this movie, at least physically
  5. Wait till you get your DD statue, you'll be like Dude! This thing is huge! You'll never look at your old Bowen DD statue the same way ever again! He'll actually just never look at Bowen statues ever again
  6. Batgirl is the only one that interests me. That Daredevil is too nice though!
  7. I told myself I'd have a focus.... but that might have to change
  8. I like it. They just invited me to play the Destiny beta and sent me a PS4 code and a PS3 code
  9. Since we seem to all be in the giving mood, I have a PS3 code for the Destiny Beta for those who want it. Just PM me!
  10. Yea you're right and the proof is in the pudding, look at how terrible their DC line has been.... I'm not saying SS is terrible. They make some amazing statues. The majority of all of my statues are sideshow. But the quality of the original SS statues such as hulk pf, cap, and Thor are by far better than what they're making now, I.e. hollow statues, poor paint apps, and poor packing. Hell the grey Styrofoam they used was better quality than now. The prototypes used to be close to the product you received. It's a gamble now. I'm willing to bet the number of returns for poor paint apps are significantly higher to what they were 8 years ago. And the prices have gone up quite a bit in those last 8 years. Now we're running into issues where they are not even using the same paint on their prototypes vs the final product I.e. The matte paint used on the JSC spidey is now glossy. SDCC Proto vs final product While I am disappointed that the paint on the Spidey is completely different, I'm even more mad that we saw them on the MJ and Gwen pieces. Both had the same paint apps as the protos and then when we get around to the main attraction they switch it up. The paint app on that Spidey was a selling point for a lot of people, especially me. +1 Gwen and MJ were awesome and then they botched the centerpiece. The paint app on the proto is washed out, looks almost orange, spider-man is not orange. I like the darker shade of red and I can see why they changed it. It's the lighting. The matte paint gave that statue a comic book feel that we rarely see, which is why many people were excited for it, but are now very disappointed.

  12. I'm hoping to see more of this ASM 2 PF at SDCC. If you didn't know, I'm a huge fan of the costume
  13. Update: I received my first order of 10 and these things and they are WAY better than expected. Excellent product. You can also keep your CGC's in their UV protection bags while doing the wall mount method with the product. I am really happy with these items and will probably order some more in a few months. I've bought these aswell, they are awesome! Sweet wall of books!
