I do like the 1/3 scale statue but that price tag is insane. My first car cost less!

So back on track, anyone seen the Limited edition bat signal by wicked replicas?

The way I see it. Instead of getting nine $100 statues, why not get one massive one that is many times more epic and scarce. That 1/3 Batman is a statue that will last a lifetime, a cheap car won't I see it as a long term investment in both collecting pleasure and value (value increases with time). A first beater car not only depreciates but experiences wear and tear, so comparing both in terms of value does make not sense at all. Once it sells out, thousands people who initially decided it was too expensive will be hunting one on the second hand market... guaranteed.

Anyway, each to their own. No more statues for me until the 1/3 arrives... Delayed gratification I guess.

I seriously beg to differ.

List price of a 1970 chevelle SS454 was around 7,200 image follows:




now, that very car sells for 1000% of original list price. Just because a car is cheap doesn't mean that it will depreciate in value. Same goes for expensive cars. You can buy a $2.2million McLaren F1, and then 3 years later, even after driving it, sell it for 5 million.

Not only that, but there are plenty of collectibles/statues that never gain value.
