If you check the completed listings on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...re+3A&_sacat=0) it is not selling for that high (between $156 - $300. Just wait for an auction to pop-up or for someone to sell his used figure and you should get it for not too expensive.

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

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.

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.

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.

I'm not sure about other regions but the the giant Kratos statue is half - off at the Playstation Gear Store right now in the US... $299 (it's a far cry better than the $599 I paid for it).

Man, that piece was amazing for $600.. $300 is a steal for a 1/3 Statue. These days, you can hardly find 1/4 Statues for $300 anymore..

I have no idea how this piece hasn't sold. Amazing piece. I got this not too long ago, will post pics up this week. One of my must-have pieces as a Playstation Gamer!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Sony Arts team make a bearded Kratos for the new game. They also produced the Uncharted Statue that xND was talking about. Very excited for that..

Speaking of the Uncharted Statue, Sideshow is now listing the Edition Size at 750..
https://www.sideshowtoy.com/collecti...merica-902863/

I'm very sure it was 1500 when announced. Not sure why it got slashed. Will try to contact the project manager and see what he says.
Anyone else knows if the Playstation Gear store reflects the same change?

Very surprised to see it still available for purchase. It's been on sale for $299 since December 2016. It was discounted even further (extra 20% off from the $299) for Christmas. I want to get it, but it's way too big for me to display anywhere lol.
