About the ezio's fury, not only the amount of pieces makes a statue wanted or rare. The detail is amazing, the pose is epic, tsume is a very popular company nowadays, sold out, not easily found on the internet, and so on...

There was a huge rumour that was flying around that the Crouching Altair were very very limited and only given to employees. That rumour was squashed by the CE folks here when they contacted the company doing the figures and found out that there were a lot more than previously thought, and was also sold on some Spanish site.
It was still not very easy to find so prices stayed around the 150-300 euros range. Until.... someone or some people made a Crouching Altair sell for $5k on eBay. Prices been crazy ever since..
This is just my impression of the whole Crouching Altair saga and what I remember of it. This happened 2 years ago I believe..
