I don't see any cheaper on EBay. I only see one and it is the same price Tong was selling his for.

Ebay versions don't come signed. Ebay sales won't have a guarantee that you're dealing with someone legit that knows how to pack and ship.
Also, with Ebay you're putting $ directly into the pockets of a reseller instead of the artist himself.

But I guess y'all would rather save $10. :roll:

No disrespect to the artist, but why $90? Wasn't Hugo $60? Mondo tends to sell for average $50 or so...yes I know EBay is a different animal, but that seems extreme. Stout was selling his Varian Khan for $100, regular $60...seems fair if you ask me

Fair sure, but a good amount of those people will flip it. And whatever, that's their prerogative... but if Tyler charged the EB average I'd have zero problem with it, because then instead of the $ going to the resellers it would be going straight to him. Some might say he's "leaving money on the table" or whatever.

Anyway, it clearly wasn't priced too high for a lot of folks because it sold out quickly. Good luck with finding one for less expensive on eBay, it's quite pretty. :pint:

He just released some Forbidden Planet AP's this afternoon and I was lucky enough to scoop one up. I agree that $102 shipped is a pretty high initial release price, but I like the print and picked one up.

Thanks. A bit of a temper will get you stuck with something like that. Although now I really like it!

He must be shipping quickly as my print apparently has shipped already! :clap:

No idea. He doesn't mark it AP xx/xx, just AP xx.

I thought I read somewhere that he had around 30 APs of Forbidden Planet to sell; no clue on Hugo

He used to, I thought? I can't remember, but I've got a couple of his APs and I thought they were numbered out of /xx....
