...don't know if you realize this but doing 1/4 figures is more expensive and they have to spread out and choose what to do in scale. Or maybe you're just trolling

Yeah, they're so expensive to produce that they've been doing 4-5 a year no problem. Give me a break.

The Predator line is ridiculous. All the Kenner, AVP, and Dark Horse (or whatever it is I always see) are clogging the pegs at FYE and Toys R Us. That huge Predator Kenner bike they did that retailed for $100? That thing was a huge dud that ended up getting clearanced down to 20 bucks, and yet here we are with them doing another dozen figures and more rereleases. It's crazy. I don't get why they shrug off bad sales for Predator like it's nothing and yet something like Planet of the Apes is DOA. It took forever for that Mud Dutch two pack to sell out, and now they're going to spam the stores with 4 more at the same time along with all the candy Predators?

I just think it's super ironic that he thinks they've done too much Batman and need a break while bragging about doing 90 something Predators at the same time. It's silly and disappointing. I wish they handled the Terminator, Robocop and Batman lines this frivolously and with such high regard as they do predators. All I need is John Connor and Returns Batman to finally have some semblance of a complete line in one encompassing scale, but it's just being dragged out to an obnoxious degree.

God damn, just read the comments over on their facebook reveal of this wave for the Predator anniversary and I am kinda surprised how pissed off a lot of the fans are with this selection. Are fans right to complain to Randy about his / NECA and their handling of this or were fans just expecting more than what they got in the end ? Or is this the company's chronic part reuse coming back to bite them on the arse ?

...funny, I've been reading for people requesting these figures to be re-released for months. NECA complies and then the crybabies start whining. Also don't you think people want other stuff besides Batman on their 1/4 scale? Can't you wait a little longer for it? "Give me a break." Grow up, if you don't like don't buy. NECA doesn't owe you anything and it certainly isn't forcing you to buy their ****

I'm actually happy I will have the chance to get the jungle extraction Dutch without feeding the scalpers on eBay. I'm sure there are other people in the same situation. I'm not a completist. I only buy what seems cool at the moment and sometimes they just happen to grow on me and discover that my fist impression was wrong (but too late to find a good deal anymore).

cool, I have all the previously released figures in the wave, but I might still get the new ones if they come in those cool little display boxes and have different/upgraded paint apps or anything like that.

If they're exactly the same, money saved for me which is all good too! I'll save it for the next wave or the next Alien line wave.

I wasn't expecting any surprises from the wave. It's been made pretty clear that the other P1 soldiers are an impossibility - Dillon seemed to have the best chance and even that fizzled out. There's really nothing else to make from P1. Red shirt Dutch I guess, which I would buy, but I'd tend to agree with NECA that it isn't all that important.

 

[jye4ever]

Did you just agree that the best scene in the movie is not important.

Fo shame.

But yeah no tie wearing Dillon = no need for red shirt Dutch with kung fu grip.

 

[DiFabio]

By that logic, with no figures of fellow special force team members or guerilla fighters that should have meant no Jungle Extraction Dutch . . .

Same here. I never got around to getting the Jungle Extraction and Disguise Dutch so I am glad they are being reissued. May get the Demon as well. It looks pretty cool.

Singles of the wave are disappearing fast on BBTS. Ended up only being able to order the full set of 7 to get everything I wanted.

False alarm, they're all back up for Preorder.

Like, one of each or something, and then they sell out again.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, now Demon is sold out again for some reason. Weird ****.


EDIT:

Now he's back up again.

 

[a-dev]

I'll be getting nailed by customs on this for sure.

Re-edit - gone again. (wasn't me)

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

Guilty (at 11:11am anyways)

[rjszar]

All back again. Guess they'll keep breaking down cases as long as most individuals sell well.

 

[a-dev]

Aaaaannd gone again. Due to problems with my computer I again couldn't get the combination of stuff I want in a single order. This is going to be frustrating.
