We're not currently in the collectibles business and technically, if it hadn't been for me wanting to make some for collectors, the run would have been a lot smaller. I guess it comes down to this, would you rather pay $600 for a secondary market statue, or have me make a small run of things so they are a little less exclusive, but more collectors get to enjoy them and you don't have to blow half your rent check to afford them? Now, it is unfortunate that a few people did spend a lot to buy their SCEA statue off eBay, but I couldn't talk about my version until the Pax Community folks made their announcement. Anyone who did pay a substantial amount for their statue can email me and I'll see if I can work out something with them.

For the record, of the SCEA edition, I made 150 for marketing (the contest ones to be given away), 150 for the SuckerPunch game team, and 100 for internal staff at SCEA. For the Collectibles version, I made 300 and they are numbered.

Hope this clears things up,

Gary

Thanks for the info.

I did pay around $500 on eBay and haven't received it yet. So the one I'm getting is not numbered?

I saw you mentioned something about the paint in your earlier post, will the one I got and the one you are about to sell look different?

Thanks,
Ken
