Re: Screw Rylo and his Cryocan! Important Jurassic Park info inside
Well, you've sort of answered my question already and I see that there's very little seriousness in this thread, but I'll go ahead and throw this out there. A few times I've noticed when something was getting scarce and was able to get some before it was all gone, in order to sell it later. (Worked very well with Xenadrine before ephedra was banned; not so well with Twinkies.) I'm just wondering how much demand for these cans there could possibly be. With idols and headpieces I can understand the lasting popularity, but cryocans? Realistically, how many do you think you will sell between now and...extinction? (I'm not being critical or negative; I hope you sell a skillion of them.) I know people are joking about buying up all the cans they can find, but to what end? (Sure, you have a lifetime supply of shaving cream, but what if you, like me, prefer Edge Gel?)
Very little seriousness? awww... but I worked so hard on my masterpiece. haha.
Again, as I mentioned before, I don't think anyone is collecting tons of these. The only people the actual shaving cream cans are worth anything are the people who are making these Jurassic Park cryocans. Do not confuse buying the barbasol shaving cream with buying a cryocan. They are two separate things and must be analyzed differently.
1) barbasol shaving cream cans value is determined by demand, as supply is not limited. If there is no demand then it's worth nothing. The only person you could potentially sell just the shaving cream can to is someone making the cryocan, or as rylo pointed out, an interior decorator. Chance of this happening is next to nil as both really don't need any.
2) Cryocans, For us collectors, however, the news of there being a change means that rather than an possibly unlimited supply of accurate cryocans becoming available. It has now changed to a limited run .
As a collector, you can use your own judgment on what that means. None of us can predict the future.
There are several "limited runs", from, for example, sideshow collectibles, some triple in value, some stay the same price. Most that are in open runs, stay the same price longer than those in limited runs.
There's a new movie coming out, imagine what will happen to the demand of these props if a cryocan makes an appearance.
Comparing cryocans to idols and headpieces is impossible. There are a lot of Jurassic Park fans, it has a huge following and there weren't too many props that you could potentially replicate.
The moral of the story is if you are a fan, and you want an accurate cryocan you should, in my opinion, probably pick one up now. (or else, you'll be stuck getting inaccurate cryos like mine :lol )
Sometimes, you gotta' do the best ya' can with what ya' got. So, you get as close to EXACT as possible. Such as the foam cryocan in this thread.
