It's like investing I guess.... with Pure Arts Legendary Bayek… I was barely able to get it two weeks after preorder announced in June 2017 as it sold out instantly with only couple hundred units (remember Bayek although shipped separate came as package buy with legendary origins edition) yet even though Bayek edition was same price as legendary Alexios at $750 + Odyssey Gold ED with pass … a year goes by and the legendary Alexios statue still has units on UBI shop which can be bought for less than half price! How do you anticipate this? I figured it would be same as Bayek and it would have sold out. Is it because Alexios looks do not sync up with the normal hooded clearly assassin style shown in all the other assassins released before him? Or was it a supply thing where they made too many of the legendary statues>? Who knows... on one hand it sucks I paid double last fall... on the other hand I ccertainly have gotten double worth of enjoyment out of it and it warms my heart to see collectors here with opportunity to buy it at half price vs. dealing with the eBay "pirates" (no offense Edward) listing these for thousands of dollars.
I got the same $279 deal on the beyond good and evil Knox which I never would have dropped $750 on but it's cool enough at $279 (this one also being listed by our friendly eBay Pirates at north of $1,000).
