Don't you mean elusive Col ?

I was referring to the Exclusivity of the Predator Maquette Club

But I suppose some of us are stuck in the Regular Club

Ahh, I get ya.

I'm surprised how often these seem to be turning up for sale considering how few & sort after they are.

Guys... ARE YOU READY FOR THIS!!!!!
*****K ME SIDEWAYS! Some people are unreal!!
Check this out... You'll absolutely love this... Hahahahahahaha I can't stop laughing!!!!!

You all know by now that I have been scammed on eBay in to believing Loboo (Ebay username) / Husarz (SF username) had an exclusive predator maquette, to which I bought as it was through eBay and PayPal so safe as I could be really. Anyways I'm in the middle of getting my money back from that crook... So....
I then get a private message on here from a guy called ' Megela ' aka Mike Jenson, aka Jakub...saying this...(conversation of pics attached)

So all looks good...
UNTIL...... Are you ready....

I get these pics....

Which, may God strike me down if I'm wrong (LMFAO), looks awfully similar to this pic taken in 2010....

Comparison...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! How stupid do people actually think people are!!!!! I pissed my self laughing the minute his image loaded up on my phone... Clearly photoshopped... And severely poorly done might I add! So how do we ban this friggin user: Megela

I'd go for it. one is obviously on a black table and the other is wood

 

[Rogue_Predator]

[Rogue_Predator]

Apparently he's emailed me now stating this...

Now he's making out like he's trying to prove how easy it is to scam?

God knows what's going on, but I am now fully aware of how to actually do a secure deal through places like this.

There just scum with no emotion for the poor buyer, just greedy rats with no morrels.

 

[Temek]

Huge grats Hed_Honcho on getting this beauty. I already have the Alien Warrior Maquette and badly need this Predator. What is a good price for a reg or ex these days. Anyone know?

 

[67L88Stingray]

There just scum with no emotion for the poor buyer, just greedy rats with no morrels.

Buyers can be just as bad though these days. Such a shame.

 

[TURINS~BANE]

Yes true

I asked the seller if it had the bio-mask head, and he said no, so I guess it's not the exclusive.

I also asked him what the status of the dreads and quills were, and he replied:

"the gills are all there and the dreadlocks I checked with a flashlight for the little pointy things I think your referring too i don't see any thing missing"



I was thinking I might make an offer (much lower than 4 grand ), but I'm not sure if I should risk it. In some of the photos it looks very dusty, specifically the base, and if I'm spending this much money on it I'd want to be sure the previous owner had taken great care of it...

Plus I want the Cinemaquette and life-size bust more anyway.

Sounds pretty clueless.

Well, it still could be an EX and it is just missing. If it was dusty and ill kept that is very possible that the head was lost too. He needs to knock off about $2500 then you can start negotiating.

 

[Riggo44]

I don't think the head even comes off on the Reg.

 

[67L88Stingray]

Really? Usually they don't do that as it makes them design 2 sets of box foam. Anyone with a regular care to let us know.

 

[Hed_Honcho]

I didn't think to check haha! Mine was already boxed with head attached and went back in the box the same. Will check in a week or so once I've moved house and got this guy on display

 

[Riggo44]

I have a reg and I'm 90% sure it doesn't come off.
