Post Your Predator / Alien Collection /_\ .'.

[Walls]

Got it from a great guy, under 6 miles away.

Still got Breakout Rex on order but there's nothing left I want out there.

Spending £1,400 on a piece, ten months ago, which is currently in bits on my floor has really turned me off this hobby.
NEVER buy anything from Imaginarium Art!

What happened?

 

[Python]

I'm feeling the same, I only have a couple of orders myself (wolf LSB, PCS 1/4 Dredd & 1:1 ID4 bust) I've slowed right down! I'm only really excited for what Prime 1 might do in future, and coolprops. But I can't keep up with their pricing so I'll stay slowed down and just pick up the odd bit I think. Really need to find a few old gems though. Col, what are you referring to regarding the (iron man?) piece?

 

[Collectorcol]

Yeah mate. Over ten months now, since I bough and reported a paint issue, and I'm being told replacement parts were shipped two months ago.

 

[MrSteerpike]

Between Sideshows poor QC / poor Customer Service / bad Art Directors / price increases PLUS the shipping rate hikes PLUS the import duty hike PLUS the crappy exchange rate, I'm pretty much done with them. I fully expect the upcoming Pred & Alien stuff from XM to draw me in though

Noted on I.A.

Omg well said. Tyvm.

After more than ten years aboard the collectible roller-coaster I think I can call it a day.

Finally got the piece i've been seeking for years...

well done col, very nice, was that on ebay from the Wirral? I was watching one that didn't sell but not been relisted.
I actually bought one from America ebay the other week for a crazy low price, asked about shipping and he put it on his page, bought it he then refunded me and accused me of trying to pull a fast one, i'm still trying to work out how

 

[Collectorcol]

Yup. That's the one.
He sold it off eBay for less

Just out of curiosity Collectorcol, do you have either the cinemaquette predator or SWS predator?

Sold the CM after getting the SWS.

 

[jinkazama]

Sold the CM after getting the SWS.

Is it because you didn't want 2 Predator maquettes, or is it just because you prefer the SWS version?

 

[Collectorcol]

The SWS is much more accurate, not that the CM ever claimed to be. Next to each other I much preferred the SWS.

When I received the CM I noticed a bit of paint flaking. Luckily it was black and on the inside leg so easily patched up.
The guy I bought the Bust from has the same issue with his but much more serious, worrying.
I always thought the rubber dreads would suffer over time.

You must not have read the whole thing. That is one minor issue. There are PLENTY more.

I won't be ordering it. Not impressed at all.

Even if I didn't have the SWS one I am not sure I would either. If they do another 20% off I might to get it and mod, but I did that with the p2 and still ended up selling it.
