Locking Emote behind Potentially $100 Statue

[Grimmel]

(Read the body of the topic and not just the title guys :P)

So I saw the Odin Statue comes with the Zantetsuken in game emote if I'm not mistaken? I'm still likely going to get it because I have literally every in game item tied in with an IRL item that has been released so far. But.. the Statue/Emote is a bit pushing it.

I mean yeah, the statue looks amazing and the emote is just a bonus. But I know some people who just want the in game items for collectors sake and that potentially $100 price tag is going to kill them. That and the fact that - it's custom with every release of an IRL item coming with a code for an in game item - only the first prints will come with the code and the codes themselves have expiration dates.

Are you going to surprise us and do something differently with this SE? Will all statues come with a code that never expires?

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.
