And the prices are out....

Regular version (2000 produced) - US$2199 (almost AU$3400)
Deluxe version (500 produced) - US$2599 (almost AU$4000)

Each one requires a US$300-350 *non-refundable* deposit, but if you pre-order early, you get US$200 back as a rebate and a bonus item.

I can imagine some of these ending up in businesses for promotions or display (which can be a tax-deduction), but any fans buying these (and similarly priced statues) have way too much money to spend.
(I know I spend too much money on the actual toys, but at least they give me better play time/value for my money.)
