Love Collector editions. But as usual we Europeans get screwed over the price.
150 USD = 105 Euros, not 150 as it will be charged.
150 USD = 91 Pounds, not 130 as it will be charged.
And Aussies get the shaft
150 USD = 143 AUD, not 200 AUD as it will be charged.
Anyways, looks like a beautiful edition no doubt. Do let us know when you get it about the quality of the Art book. I always found those to be the weakest. I love art books, but they are meaningless without text explaining them, which unfortunately is what happens most of the time. Heck, often we don't even get the artist signature.
As for the statue: I'm not in a rotten mood, honest. But PVC? Really? C'mon! Stop doing that. You know, some of us actually like to paint our miniatures. But alright, not everyone cares about that. But PVC also sucks at capturing minute details. I remember when The first DVDs of Lord of the Rings came out (the special extended edition). The first and second films came with beautifully carved statues in polystone. The first film included two statues of the Argonaths and the second a statue of Gollum. I could never get the third on time of going out of sale. But it was Minas Tirith fortress.
Polystone does wonders in capturing minute details from the cast, can be han-painted and it is as cheap to process. The special extended editions of the films where being sold at much lower prices than this collector edition, for instance. The result? Well,
stuff like this. Do that in PVC.
