So many responses that are painting me as a whiney brat failed to read my entire post. |D I'm getting the statue because I'm a collector of things both in-game and out of game. The statue being Odin is cool because I'm a big Norse Mythology buff (despite the Final Fantasy XIV iteration not being based off the actual mythology views of Odin and Sleipnir) and it'll go well alongside the Midgardsormr statue I poses.

Money isn't an issue for some collectors, but for those who have other priorities; such as school, yeah it's a big deal.

And before anyone tells me to stop whining about the price; I'm not - I shelled out the 100 something bucks for the Collectors editions of Heavensward. :P I swear people only look at the title of the thread and fail to read the body of it.
