Sideshow is in industry leader and their own line of statues are some of the best you'll ever see. Prime 1 Studios is not Sideshow; Sideshow is just a retailer of their products. Pretty much all Prime 1 statues are expensive but you get what you pay for, very large, superbly detailed, well made statues that look as close as you're going to get to the real thing.

That said I heard that sideshow make some really great stuff, but it is not always up to the prototype quality.
With Prime 1 (the harley quinn statue) I think you get pretty much what you pay for, prototype = final product.
Before buying, just make sure that it is a character that your really like. Don't buy something just because it is cool. Buy it because you love the character, his story, his personnality.
If you buy something just because it is cool, well, it will be cool the first days after you receive it, but then you will loose interest in it.
And display is also very important. Great light can make your statue look even better. So if you buy one of these, make sure you highlight it well in your collection. I know I am not the best example with my messy display (too much stuff and no more space) but these are my little advices

And my review of the Destiny Bambaland hunter

Thanks for your replies!

I'm very sure of the things I want to get
I just have to be sure that I don't buy them all at once as that'd be a big bottleneck..
But will definitely get some stuff then
Won't be putting them on display (yet) though, since I still live at home and I haven't got a solid spot to put them.

Getting frustrated that the Destiny McFarlane retailer exclusives for Target, Walgreens, and Walmart are still not up for pre-order.

Getting frustrated that they are exclusive. Just...why. The walgreens one will probably not even be available here in Canada. I hate when they do that!

Yeah, not a big fan of retailer exclusive things.

So I'm looking to pre-order the Uncharted Nathan Drake 20" Statue and I'm just wondering what peoples opinions are on this? This will be my first "proper" statue so I don't really know anything about them and at $600 it's very expensive and I don't know if my money is better spent on other items in the series such as press kits etc. Do statues devalue in price over the years or do they hold value quite well?

$600??? the only Nathan Drake statue I know of (on preorder) is at the PSGear store but I don't remember it being that much...personally; I collect a lot of statues (only games I am fan of course) and wish I could afford more. As for value retention that's just a bonus but obviously you want to shoot for Exclusives or very limited numbers. Most of my statues have gone up in value substantially. Usually the ones preorder sellout quickly are a sure bet but not always. Most Uncharted stuff goes up in value so I would say the Drake statue is a safe bet.

Unfortunately for us here in Australia, we get everything at much higher price! I think I would probably be better off getting it ordered from the US and shipped here as it's probably a lot cheaper. But the risk of breakage is quite high :/ Thanks for the information though I really appreciate it, I think I will probably order it. As a fan, it's something I would love to own.

And that's what is most important; increasing value is always a bonus but I only buy stuff I want to keep.
