Tfw my wallet grows sentient and buys these things. :[

$125 for the statue isn't necessarily bad given most figurines can reach these numbers. I don't actually know what the scale of this figurine is though. To me, personally, Odin isn't that great enough for me to shell out that much money. I can appreciate these kinds of statues(Lenneth from Valkryie Profile), but it seems a little silly to base this upon this pose rather than him performing Zantetsuken. Pretty sure the latter would have been more appealing, but that's just me.

I like this comment. It makes sense.

/em digs through his filing cabinet of common replies.

Let me see, which one. "Its an optional item..... no no no, No one is forcing you to buy it..... no not that one, They are a business, of course they are trying to make money you hippie freeloader.... nope that one is a bit spicy. OH! Here we are..."

I'm going to buy that thing because its beautiful.

This pretty much ended the thread right here. It's not pricey, it's worth it to SE.

If you felt that this price was stretching it, I doubt you'd be willing to pay this much for an in-game item (or emote, in this case). SE already know that this will bar a lot of players from having access to it, but they're still willing to tack an in-game perk onto something this expensive because they know that enough players will buy into it that it would be financially beneficial for them.

I mean "you" in the general sense, of course. Lot of people going "I'm planning on buying it but yeah, very overpriced for an emote." If you're buying it for the statue, then that's different but personally I don't think they should have put an in-game reward with anything this expensive. They're testing how far they can go.

Where does one order such items?

On SE's official site. I believe the Odin figurine only comes out mid December though. They'll make an announcement when you can pre-order one.

Spending money is the true endgame
