Sideshow Maquette Line

[TheWhiteHand]

Not sure if I'm allowed to post this here as it's Sideshow related ...
I have the option of buying Arwen Maquette regular for $325 AUS. I would obviously prefer the exclusive as it has the necklace.
Should I go for it? Or is it worth waiting and paying more for the exclusive?
Thanks!

[Radagaster]

IIRC, both heads had the necklace, and the only difference was that one head had a scar on her cheek, and the other didn't.

I think Sideshow LOTR pieces belong in the Crossroads section these days...

I've always liked the Arwen maquette (and most of the others in the line) but I never got into them because of price.

I believe Radagaster is right about the scar portrait.

I could to see Arwen Maquette in a friends of mine´s house and it is a really nice statue, was the regular version but look great.

Just to be clear, the Exclusive head with scar does have the necklace.

However, the Regular head without the scar does not have the necklace.

Thanks for the info everyone. Is $325 AUS a good price for the regular? (Brand new, never opened).
Not too fussed about the Exclusive if it costs excessively more.

It sounds a decent enough price TheWhiteHand. The real question is, is it a price you are willing to pay for it...that is all the matters at the end of the day...and that is a question only you can answer.

I think so. Haven't seen it cheaper anywhere else and it's a great piece!

Thanks Stig. Wasn't quite sure where it belonged.

Whitehand as others noted it's all what you value the item at and are willing to pay.
Also is this seller in Australia or will you be hit with duties on this, on top of shipping costs.
All of this will factor into your decision.

I can say that the exclusive does show up from time to time at a pretty decent price.
Last year I picked up her up for $275 usd.

Thanks Stig. Wasn't quite sure where it belonged.

No worries. That's what we're here for ;)

Good luck hunting down whatever version you decide on.

[TheWhiteHand]

Thanks guys. I ended up getting it
Regular version for $325 AUS ($240 US).
My first sideshow maquette and I must say I am a fan

Congratulations on obtaining your first Maquette TheWhiteHand. Which one are you hoping to get next?

[DD]

Congrats, Whitehand. Good to hear that you like the line.

I was really tempted by the Boromir maquette back in the day. Best of the line for me, though I've never actually seen any of them in-hand.

RickDTM has my custom made Boromir for painting. We had both forgotten about it for years

D_D answered it for me below But whatever pops up at a good price is always tempting

I would love to get one of them! I also think it is the best in the line.

Just wondering where you picked her up? I'm in Aus and also looking. Thanks!
