Well the bronze kratos looks exactly the same as the kratos statue in the Latin Omega edition

I wonder if they're all numbered off the same run?

Or maybe there's seperate numbering for Latin america and asia like with the borderlands 2 loot chest?

Any idea how likely this is going to be the final product?

Still not officially announced and haven't seen any other stores advertising it.

But this store seems to have a lot of contacts and are one of the best with bringing in CEs (local ones and imported ones). Everyone else seems to wait for official announcements from the main distributor.

But then again, this store is not officially recognized by the main distributors and they seem to work on their own. Still they are very popular for their prices (Usually lower than the rest of the market) and are mostly trustable with their sources...

Of course, all these is just my humble opinion.

Yes I guess but to be expected if you offer two seperate statues in the same CE

I mean that's quite rare, isn't it?

Sounds like an interesting store

Wonder why it's not recognized by the main distributor

Cos usually if local shop are partner shop with sony, their items will hv to follow sony RSP and that suck as it will be expensive. these stand alone shop, get their stock from other supplier, we tend to save more this way

From what I hear. It's because they don't follow the Suggested Retail Price, they sell it for less. They sell loads that way, better prices, more sales, better prices again..

They sold more copies of Diablo 3 than the official distributor on release day.. Plenty of controversy about that due to their prices.. But in the end, consumers win!

lol that's pretty sweet

Wish we had something like that over here

CE's are pretty much standard prices on release

Certain stores offer credit and other promotions sometimes though

There's pros and cons of course..

Prices are better but sometimes you won't know what the exact price is or pre-order bonuses you are getting until release date or a few days before. Can be a little tricky for collectors who are looking for certain stuff.

Those Bronze Kratos statues run over 35,000+ from the ones i've seen, i doubt they made that many Omega Edition's so i would say for sure the Bronze statue in this Asia Edition is definitely from the same Sideshow run.
