Actually, I forgot about the print. lol Quite intrigued about the print.

How long do you expect it will take to get to ya? o.0

That's very cool. I'm a little bit jealous here. I saw the price tag and I was like, holy....

It was available still so I added to my cart for fun. Then I had this wild idea so I sent ESCtoys an email asking them if I could do a payment plan with them and send them payments on it since at this time $1500 is just too much money for me.

I knew I wouldn't get their email in time and after 8 or so minutes after my email, and having the vinyl resting in my cart, it finally said "sold out"

Sad but happy your excited for it!

Things like this makes me think about scammers abusing the "collector's mentality" but sometimes the abuse is too high for my taste, I mean, you see something like the A3's Metal Gear rex selling for $490, and this... simple figure selling for $1500, what's the value, limited to 1 worldwide? I... I really don't know.

I don't see the difference between that and telling nolan north to take a shit on a tupperware and sell it for $10,000 "Nolan's shit in box, limited to 1 shit worldwide **Ultra Rare**"

To chargersfan, I first had it in my checkout cart when it was released and when I was getting ready to pay for it by paypal my computer froze, so I honestly thought I lost it. Thats probably the time you were able to get it, and then I went got my phone and was able to obtain it again.

And to madigan I understand what you mean. When I first saw the price tag I was like shit, but I knew I had to have it. They know they could put what ever price tag that they want and it will sell. I honestly thought that I was not going to be able to get it because there were so many people that wanted it especially from Naughty Dog. I spoke to my contact from Naughty Dog and I had told him what I purshased and he told me that Evan Wells told everyone to try to get this so they could be able to display it since its the only one. So I feel extremely lucky to have this.

That's cool. Just have to remind myself that I can't have everything and to be happy that others get to enjoy things as well.

Although honestly I wish I had never seen it available to begin with you know. It would have been fine had it gone so quick that I never saw it. But when you have the time to add it to your cart, and then more than enough time to make the purchase, as it was in my case, it's kind of like winning the lotto!

Others had to have seen it available too though so I don't know... It was better when it wasn't a possibility but then it turned out to be a big possibility which is a drag but that's fine.

So here's to you.

If, in 10 years, you do decide that you can't stand the look of it anymore, then think of me LOL.

I'm kind of brain dead when it comes to Uncharted collectibles and I have spent approximately over $4,500 on my Uncharted collection. So it would be going to a good home here...

Ashamed to admit that really! HAHA

Seriously enjoy it Rob!

Hey thanks again man. I feel the same way you do. I wish I would have never known about this. I told Jugo that this is all his fault because I would have never known about these drake vinyl figures if he would have never mentioned theme lol. I think the silver one is still available and that is also a rare one to have. I was thinking on getting it but its just going to be too much money over all, but then I know myself that I will want it later on and then I will hhhave to pay the crazy price from ebay. But dont worry if I dont want it anymore I will make sure to give you a very good deal on it. I will sell it to you for only $700,000,000,000,000 lol jk
