How true.  But this one is more than gouging, it more like raping and pillaging.

Re: Will you Order Wolverine Legendary Scale Figure if he's $2000?
I think it has to do with the fact that they know people are paying ridiculous prices for after market pieces, maybe they figure if people will pay 2k for hulks and dooms, then this is their chance to get in on a over inflated market. Kinda similar to people saying they will buy the new colossus regardless of what it looks like or price good or bad. We as collectors so far have given sideshow the green light at every turn. (sadly)

 Sadly, with enough collectors with that type of mentality willing to swallow anything SS puts out that has a marvel stamp on it for hundreds of dollars regardless of the quality'; Sideshow will have no incentive to improve quality orkeep prices under control..If the current trend continues I predict you'll see statues of this type of quality selling for 600$ or more in a couple of years

If this is SS's mentality I think they are badly mistaken. How many people are actually paying those high aftermarket prices? A handful? Add to that these pieces are no longer in production which explains to some extent the price. If they (SS) are hoping those same people are going to pay that price right out of the gate they may find these not going anywhere. If SS can get what they ask for on these then more power to them. All I know it's not money from my direction.

I can see them squeezing more orders out of a limited edition size but having a combination of open edition size and extremely high pricing without any light up features does not seem like a good combination to me. jmo.
