put those together you lazy sack

 

[prefused]

Yes, but I haven't had anytime to build a lot of them. That's a lot of "some assembly required." I am probably going to post a thread seeing if anyone who lives in Los Angeles area wants to earn some extra cash putting these together. I might leave the ANI COM Pred in its box.

i should put them together for you, since i'm a licensed HT kit builder.
hell, just for you, i'll even pay for shipping.

Not the most important thing for me to do right now.

So, now that the Miami Dolphins have made the playoffs, I've started to put together my collection. MY GOD, these are a task. I've gotten most of them done, but have a few Marines left and the PredAlien. But looking at all of them assembled, it's an awesome sight. To see the universe that was created by the filmmakers, is just awesome. I'll post pics hopefully next week of them all.

Wow Supes job well done. If I remember correctly you only started collecting like what...2-3 months ago? That's an incredible achievement. You must have blew a fortune.

Collecting Alien/Pred, yes. But a fortune, not really. I sold all of my old Indiana Jones Kenner and LJN stuff to offset the cost, actually made a profit after all was said and done. All my Indiana Jones stuff was sitting in a storage unit and since the unit next door was broken into, I decided to sell them and collect something I could display and look at. Certainly among my favorites of my collectibles. But yeah, I guess it was some cheddar. :chew

Which one was the most expensive one that you got? Actually what do you estimate you spent on a collection like that? And yea leave the assembling part for yourself. It's the best part about owning a Hot Toys Predator. You learn to appreciate the details so much more if you had a part in putting it all together piece by piece. Pics soon please.

That's one of the best ones! Looks really badazz!

 

[Jaycepticon]

definitely. I didn't notice how awesome it was until it was too late, I guess it's all the time I spend gawking at it since I don't have it

The most expensive one I got was the Scar Predator 8th Ani-Com Honk Kong Exclusive. I think they only made 200 of them from what research I've been doing. That one is staying in the box however, paid to much for it to put it together. All the others were only a few hundred each if you divide how much I paid for all of them. I've probably spent close to $5,000 for everything. That being every Alien(s), every Predator (sometimes doubles), USCM Marines. Considering how much these have gone up in cost (I won't say Value because that's to be decided), I've paid less than ebay prices, seeing how some of these sell for $1,000 each on ebay.

I certainly don't regret my decision to dump my Kenner and LJN Indy stuff for these. Hot Toys has won me over. These lines are a must own for any Predator/Alien fan, even the AVP ones. They look better in 1/6 Scale they they did on screen.

i envy you!......just kidding, your collection rocks. congrats bro!

 

[mr.thrifty]

you know there a couple Pred busts and the Alien Warrior bust that you must get now...

All I want to interject is to not limit yourselves to JUST Hot Toys, I find a lot more joy in finally tracking down old original model kits, and stuff of the beaten path than getting a new HT figure.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Hot Toys stuff - but there is something I love about stumbling across lesser known items more.

I love lesser known items as well, but not when it comes to these. If I had any desire to collect those I would have them, plus space is limited and the Hot Toys are certainly the best I've seen regarding 1/6 scale Aliens and Predators. So I am limiting myself to JUST Hot Toys for now.
