Just be glad they are making such a beautiful piece. They haven't announced an edition size. For all we know they will make 5000 of these at $750 a pop! That's $3,750,00. How's that for your power point presentation. So quit whining and just buy one before there all gone. Hey Pal!

Read this from Jon F from Wondercon (Talking about Iron Man)... "... He (Jon) then pointed out that it is important that filmmakers maintain a dialogue with fans. The voices of the fans were responsible for getting "Iron Man" this far and keeping it a project that they would want to see." Does that sink in a little? We WANT to BUY ALL OF YOUR 'Collectables', but if you only make a few, you only make a 'few' dollars! I can't believe your Accountants (or whoever)presented this pricing for approval: "We sell 500 at 700.00 bucks each and we'll make $350,000 bucks!" I would have LOVED to have sat in on that PowerPoint presentation! It should have been "We sell 5000 at 250.00 bucks each and we'll make $1,250,000 bucks!" Hmmmm... do you think that that 'person' would still be working for 'you' if you owned 'Sideshow'? I doubt it. Sideshow... Stan... we truly love you but to 'keep us' and the 'product/selling' wheel turning please give us what we waht! (If it's not sinking in, please read the beginning again.) -A sad day at Stark Industries. The pricing reminds me of this quote: "This is gonna feel like Sex... but it's not!" (Feel free to copy this and post it anywhere!) Hey Sideshow and Stan Winston!!!

That's why I stopped collecting when prices went way to high. The painting and details are great as well as the labor went into it... but there's only about 20.00 worth of actual materials involved, not counting the packaging; add another 2.00. When you do it in bulk the costs are waaay down. Like CD's are 15.00 and up and the artist only gets about a buck of that. Bring the prices down, sell MORE, make MORE money, make MORE loyal FANS that OOME BACK and buy AGAIN, and AGAIN. Making cents now? :) If it where up to me, I would charge 150.00 and sell a ton of them instad of a limited one that only sells a few. That’s why I stopped collecting when prices went way to high.

Sounds like a V-chip option. ^ Yeah Jim I remember a few years back there was a store in Burbank Ca. (where I live) called "Creature Features". They had wall to wall superhero and sci-fi film busts of allmost every character you could think of and some really obscure ones. ^ Problem was they were all pretty expensive. You would think this kind of store would thrive in this town but after about 6+ years they folded up... RIP Creature Features! Porn Blocker isn’t real? Sounds like a V-chip option.

I think reacting to the first Iron Man trailer. They said, THIS IS PORN! Hilarious! Marvel (etc.) knows that it's porn, and they keep waving it in front of us. We really could use a 12-Step Program.

Any Iron Man fan would be crazy not to buy this item (unless your lacking funds of course!). Depending on how limited it is you will see the price double in aftermarket for sure. Locked in my purchase and I can't wait! Those that don't buy now will be sorry. Judging by how fast all the rest of their stuff sells out this one won't take long. Heath S.
