Was the Elder hard hard to get even when it first came out? Did the preorders sell out fast?

I don't think so. I went to the comic book store and bought it for $180. It was two months after the premiere. I did not pre-order it.

It must have been out for some time by the time I ordered it from Forbidden planet back then. Never got it.

Did he come before or after the P2?

Re: New HT Predator 2 Elder pics and spec

think it came out after P2 and before BD P2.

Re: New HT Predator 2 Elder pics and spec

I was able to get both of those from Forbidden planet. Maybe I delayed too long ordering Elder, I can't actually remember. Very early days in my HT collecting.

Nope, he definitely didn't sell out fast. I debated getting this guy for the longest time. I finally caved when I found him for $120.

So in about a year P1 should at the same price range as the Elder or is it something different with the Elder?

honestly, i have no ____ing clue what the deal with the Elder is. he's a secondary character with maybe one minute of screen time and the figure wasn't exclusive or limited at all. maybe the P1 will go higher, maybe not. that's why i pre-order everything so i don't have to worry about all the fickle aftermarket bull____.

I bought mine for $135 when he first came out. He was still in stock, after the figure was released for a couple months afterward. I was considering buying a couple more, but just didn't want to drop the money at the time. I suppose if someone's willing to wait 2-3 years, they could definitely get a pay-off.

Re: New HT Predator 2 Elder pics and spec

When I saw the pics of Elder online when he was first previewed and put up for order, I knew I had to have him. Back then I didn't have as much money as I do now and had to be much more selective with my purchases, but I made sure that I got him.

Look at the return. You are making 300-400% return in 2-3 years. Give you 100% return yearly. What does that?! Yes it's absolutely a pay off. U got satisfaction owning it and then get to make money out of it.

Re: New HT Predator 2 Elder pics and spec

I try not to look at the Elder at all, getting P1 was the most I ever dished out on a figure...and Elder is like 2 times the price...sigh
