This Sold Out faster than All the Faux Bronzes, All the Web Exclusive Full Size Statues, All the Limited Collector's Club Busts.
Let's hear what drove this Record Sell-Out....................
You're a Quicksilver Fan?
You can Flip it on EBAY for 3X the Amount?
You collect the Rare Stuff?
You happen to Buy certain Bowen Statues anyway?
Better Investment than Stocks?
You wanted one cause Everyone Will want one?
Curious to hear..............................

Good question. I still dont know why I got it. I may end up trading mine to a fellow collector who wont flip it the first chance they get. I'm still not sure at this point.

I got mine because I love the X-Men and Marvel Mutants. I only collect Bowen MB and FS and only X-men and related figures. I was lucky enough to be working from home yesterday so I got mine. Guess the X-Gods were smiling on me.

I was trying to get it for an international member, but was not fast enough.

I didn't. I tried. But if I did it's b/c I happen to buy certain Bowen statues anyway.

i feel bad about it in a way, but I got it just to flip. I may or may not keep it once i see it, but witht he exclusives, i figure better to get it and not take a chance, so if I want to keep it, I have it and don't have to pay top dollar later. I have gotten all the exclusives since I was a member, and i was going to pass on it, but then I was online at right time, so figured why not. I will prolly list it on ebay when it comes, and just sell it there, if i don't keep it.

So i guess for me, it's maybe keep cause it's an exclusive, maybe flip.

I'm going to try and get mine signed if possible.

You had me at "Limited to 200".

I don't really want it and will probably let someone "None flipper" else have it for either a trade or ect...

Anyone with a Moore White Queen Retro and something else pm me

I actually got it for my personal collection because I still believe that this is the correct coloring for the blue version. I personally never bought into the black shorts concept regardless of how it was drawn or colored in various comics. I always interpreted that coloring as a shading effect the artist put in to simulate either a more silver tone or a fabric of the costume. So, for me, the all blue version represents my definitive QS for my Avengers display.

I got it because I have always thought the character was cool.

I'm a big Quicksilver fan and this was the version I wanted from the get-go. The fact it is so limited put it over the top. It was a must have.

I didn't. Wasn't really interested, and I'm not a flipper.

Got it because I knew it would sell out fast and I wouldn't get a chance at it again at retail.Not really a fan, but it could be used in a trade to get another statue I want like clear iceman.

I want one but could'n't get one because I was at work at the time.

QS blue is the way to go in my eyes. The way I picture him to look like.

Too bad.

Yes plus as a seller it's risky anyway because you never know what could happen also you have to deal with impatient bidders.

Seeing as how I got the version I wanted (both the green and blue w/ black shorts), the ONLY reason I would have gotten one (and had contemplated doing so) was that I felt compelled to help a fellow collector, especially knowing that those outside the U.S. wouldn't have the opportunity (hey - it was the "neighborly" thing to do!). In the end . . . didn't get in in time.

Yeah, yeah . . . I know . . . "good intentions are the path to ______", and all that.

For those that landed him - congrats; for those that want one, best of luck.

This is the version I wanted all along....so when I heard it was going to happen I cancelled my regular QS and waited for this one...luckily I was able to get one!
