An online comic shop things from another world says the 28th.

cool, let us know what they say.

 

[Rotfish]

Waited 2 minutes to get ahold of the store. Waited 3 minutes for them to look and ask me what I wanted again. Waited 5 minutes for a big fat "nope." Nothing in their system yet, website doesn't say squat, and I should check back within a week. There are two other TRU's around here, but they're about a 45 to 60 minute drive. Think I'm gonna wait until after I get back from SDCC.

 

[TrackerPredator]

Still no word on these here either.

Went onto Play (UK site) and says avaliable from 16th July? I'll have to wait and see!

 

[Ra88]

Wow, they definately look much better in those pics.

 

[A.L.I.E.N]

Can someone type out what is on the back of the packges or enlarge them for me?

 

[Teamcerberus]

Checked my local TRU today, no luck. FYE says MAYBE tomorrow if they are getting them at all. Poo.

Not sure if this is spoiler stuff or not so just to be safe I'll use the spoiler tags.

Here is what is says on the back of the Falconer Predator package:

Spoiler

Highly skilled in engineering, Falconer Predator isn't interested in following the old Yautja traditions of the hunt. To him, the hunt must evolve, along with its tools. In his eyes the best way to do so is to observe and acquire the techniques and technology of those he hunts. As a newly successful Young Blood class Predator, Falconer Predator becomes intrigued by his prey that used flying creatures as a hunting tool. Not satisfied to domesticate and train such creatures on his home planet, Falconer Predator built and programmed his own deadly bird using the technology of the Yautja augmented by the technology of Xenomorphs and other cultures he had encountered in his hunts.

Here is the text from the back from the Beserker Predator card:

Spoiler

The Beserker Predator is the ultimate hunter. Born with superior physical abilities and intelligence, he was the youngest of the Yautja to ever kill a Xenomorph (Alien) and reach Young Blood status. Considered a prodigy among his clan, he quickly rose to almost legendary Warrior status: achieving more skills than any Predator of his generation. As a Predator of the Honored class, Beserker Predator became a leader of this own hunting clan consisting of only Himself and two Young Blood Predators: Tracker Predator and Falconer Predator.

Here is the text from the Classic Predator cardback:

Spoiler

A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, shot under the creative auspices of Robert Rodriguez. In this story we follow Robert Royce, a cold-blooded mercenary whose only allegiance is to those who pay him. He reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the notable exception of disgraced physician Edwin, they are all cold-blooded killers-mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members-human "predators" that are now being systematically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

[Furious1]

[Sabres21768]

Again...NOT coming out for at least another week.

 

[CelticPredator]

Oh wow.

Thank you NECA for adding that incredibly lame term to describe the Predators. Wow. Jesus. It's AvP-R all over again.....

 

[Sabres21768]

The back of the packaging is NOT from NECA.

That info was done by FOX.

NECA doesn't control what goes on the packaging.

So, you can thank FOX for that.

Thanks, didn't see your message though before I left, rendering it useless to me until now.

 

[CelticPredator]

I dont know....I highly doubt that. Fox does not consider that crap to be canon. Otherwise, why arent they called Hish? The current name for the EU Predators? Why mention the AvP franchise? Didnt they go lengths and bounds to forget about those films?

the backs of the cards were made by Fox so NECA did not BS them. Answered on Twitter.

 

[CelticPredator]
