You seem like you are only interested in the exclusives...

Is this an investment or are you a fan and don't mind buying just to have?!?

I find it funny that a lot of fans buy and then later want to SELL, even if they say they are a HUGE Berserk fan and didn't want to sell their collectibles...

IMO, you should buy the regular versions of any of those figures listed (if they have a regular version) and add the blood effect yourself if you want it...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just thought I should mention you can do it yourself...

BTW, the 8" PVC Battle damaged Guts Black Swordsman figure is cheap (less than $60.oo) and just as amazing IMO as the resin statue that costs $150.oo more. If you aren't going to nit-pick over the minute details, it looks just as good on your shelf and other people won't be able to tell the difference either.
 
Well, I like the bloody ones myself, cause it just ain't berserk with out a bit of blood :)

I'm one of those type of people that if I did buy the "normal" one, it would just gnaw at me because I don't have "the" exclusive one.

I'm the same way with dvd's and getting the special editions and such.

I noticed that some are still for sale on the AOW site, but how much do they charge for shipping since it comes from japan? and I can use a Credit card right?
 
Buying exclusive BERSERK statues are like buying old collectible cars:


First think of the ABSOLUTE maximum price that you are willing to pay for it.

Then double it.

No, I'm not kidding.

Be prepared to pay a LOT of money.

The Armored Berserk Exclusive, still has not been released. :p
It's still on preorder. Although it is sold out. I would suggest the normal in this case then.
For other statues still not for sale on AoW, I suggest checking E-bay from Time to Time. Sometimes you get lucky. ;)

OK, listen ...

I have no one of the ones u r looking for, but ...

I u like the first Griffith (I mean, the statue of Griffith before the ecplipse) for collection, I'm in this kind of situation ...

A friend of mine send me a new one for present for my birthday, some days ago, 'cause he knows I love Berserk, but I just have that one. But mine had a very little damage on the hairs ... so he knows I wanted a to buy a new one. Then I was thinking about to sell this one ...

Consider that a new one here in Italy it cost € 190 ... and I sell this one, that is not new, at € 100 ...

If u r interested in, I'll send u images of it ...

See u!

Stiler,

I understand...but take Endless' advice and start saving even MORE $$ if you are looking for ONLY exclusives...

And I also recommend moving to Japan as you will have much better access to the products! ;) ;D

My advice still stands, buy the regular and bloody it yourself...no reason IMO to spend two and three times what you normally would for a "bloody" version if you plan to keep it.

I bought two of the bloody 12" Guts figures when they came out and they are now still available. I'm not a statue collector as I don't like how fragile most statues are, but if they were to make all of these in PVC and cut the price in two (or three!) I'd buy them all...

I really hope they make a PVC statue or action figure of the Berserk Armor...it looks amazing! (and I would bloody it up myself too! ;) )

If you're not absolutely bent on getting a highly overpriced statue simply to get that "ultra-rare/expensive collector's" feeling, then I recommend starting off your statue/merchandise collection with this PVC statue or diorama.

No, it does not compare to real statues, that goes without saying, but the statues that go in the hundreds and thousands are probably aimed more towards the older BERSERK fans who have money to pay for houses and such...

I'm not trying to discourage you, only pointing out that you could buy this entire page (minus the cases) and more for the price you are willing to pay for one of those statues.

I have that diorama and it is awesome!

I have a different "bloody" (blood by your's truly! ;D) with a bloody eye and dragonslayer. I'll try to post pics later this week.

IMO, the figures and that PVC statue are better as they are WAY more affordable and durable. I'm kindof rough on my stuff... :D
 
I already have most of the Action figures already :p
I could afford those a long time ago, got them sitting right here on my desk.

Minus femto and the Mil. falcon 2nd edition black swordsman that is, still have to pick those two up.

I'd go for a pvc statue, but I want a nice good sculpted/painted statue.

I already have quite a few statues, from comic characters to movies (like sideshow's LOTR ones), to roman/greek ones.

I had a pvc statue but to be frank, it was a bit "cheap" imo, not saying this berserk pvc statue would be cheap as it, but it just seems the craftsmanship on pvc statues are...lacking when compared to real resin statues and such that an artist sculpts/paints.

I just want to start my berserk statue collectin off with a piece that'll last me a while and something I can put at the center of my collection.

Leaning toward putting in my pre order for the maken guts exclusive right now...

I agree, don't rush into anything you'll regret later. I took my time then bought this Guts statue:

Then I bought the Griffith Horse-riding statue (I got it for a great price and was eyeing it for aggges). I do buy all the little figures that come out though - Vol.4 is on its way  :)

poodeta,

It was between $180 and $200 US at the time I bought it. However it's been sold out since and is hard to find.
 
Aaah o well now i have a goal in life must get the statue but fist save up the money for it, cause money that falls in my hands magically disappears (stupid college).

Until next time...
where can I get the mini figs of Lost Children and Birth Feast?

I've looked everywhere and can't find them...

help please! :D
 
So no one has nothing I have listed for sale? :(

Well, I guess it's a toss up between:
black swordsman magun exclusive
http://www.art-of-war.co.jp/english/items/detail.php?gid=117

or

Guts maken exclusive
http://www.art-of-war.co.jp/english/items/detail.php?gid=66

I can't decide :eek:

Just noticed on ebay the maken one went for 220 bucks...and yet it's still for sale on art of war's site.

Can someone tell me how much shipping is to the US from AOW?

it can be pricey, obviously depends on your location in the US. But EMS is fast! They arrived at my doorstep 3 days after AOW shipped them. I paid around 29,600 for maken total. Thats about 3 cents shy of 300 bones.

you have to pay a "transfer" fee too, so that hurts the bank account!

Best bet is to let someone else import it and then buy it for (hopefully) SRP.

I'm thinking of making a MAGUN version out of the new PVC Battle Damaged Guts figure.

It wouldn't actually be that hard and it would cost a lot less...
I'll post pics if I do it.

bank transfers cost quite a bit too...

around $40.oo or so.

That's a fair size of $$.

Like I said, but it form a person who's already imported it (store or individual).

Good luck!
