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.
