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.

I think it's a good buy.. If you had to have 1 Uncharted Statue, it has to be between this or the Sideshow one. That is long sold out so might be difficult to get one.

I love this new one.. Very dynamic & iconic finishing pose. Details are very good. Rather huge too.

I personally prefer Statues over Press Kits. For the amount you are paying, a Statue makes for a much better display. I don't see this de-valueing.
