Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Yeah I remember it, last thing I can remember buying from Forbidden planet was the Celtic predator bio for £210....

Anyone?

Blimey! :eek

A non Ex sold just last week from a Spanish seller for £1,085.01. & it only had that 1 winning bid. That price is insane.

Silly price indeed.
The one you mention didn't have a box, did it?
Although it was 'brand new'

I just had another look at it (I saved it on my watch list because I was curious as to what it would sell for). I used Google translate (which is a godsend for EU ebaying might I add) & I could see no information about a lack of a box.

Just under £1100.00 seems like a great price for that fantastic statue. I'd still rather have the P1 CM though.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Yeah, we had a chuckle about that one as well.. brand new... I:E untouched and sealed up but without a box.

Wasn't a bad price but the guy had low feedback as well, I wouldn't have risked it myself.

Shipping from Spain to U.K in a makeshift box = tears.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Shipping such a thing in just peanuts is such insane... wow. I nearly feel the frailty on the spinal cord of the happy buyer when he receives the P1 maquette in four pieces

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

About 7-8 month back, a boardie was selling the P1 maquette for $780 shipped. I said I will take him, was first to msg him, and asked him to wait 2 days till paypal transfer from my bank is complete. He said no problem.
Well, two days later, I pm him for his info, and he tells me that he sold it to another the day before because they paid right away.
He is still selling stuff here, but I've never went into his sale thread since.
**** him.

Yeah, I.. ahem... may have not translated that.

I've got to start being more thorough with regards ebay foreign language details.

I would never buy such a delicate expensive item like this without it's original packaging. That's just a disaster waiting to happen.

Brand New my

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

£4000, no less for the one on ebay right now, way beyond what any sane person would be willing to pay but if anyone has just won the lottery and fancies one, now's your chance....

It was in English! In big letters!

I thought that I couldn't possibly be this dozy &, at least in this particular instance, I'm exonerated.

When the page for that order comes up for me the without box part is completely obscured. I hope others get the same thing or this is gonna seem like one really lame & odd lie. I can read ARTICLE OF EXPOSUR then it's giberish bacause other words are printed over the top of the without box part then it's back to MARKS BE EXPOSED.

I was going to copy & paste it but when I go over the word to blue it up & copy it only the without box part shows up. Which makes what I'm saying sound even worse, lol.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Yeah, next Predator to get the LSF treatment will probably be an AVP pred. Probably Scar as he was seen with and without a biomask (there's your two portraits option). He also used several weapons (there's your EX).

sculpted again by ADI hopefully not these guys...

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I've still not seen this statue for sale on forbiddenplanet.co.uk but it's up for sale on it's sister site forbiddenplanet.com for... £1099.99. What a bargain!

I don't know how those jokers are still going

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

It may seem that my last post was sarcastic, but oh no! It really is a bargain. You see, they have the RRP listed as £1399.99 & state that the practically giveaway price of £1099.99 is a massive 21% reduction.

Come on people, form an orderly queue.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

To be fair, I suppose like many places it's hit or, as in this case, very, very miss. I still have the Sideshow Darth Maul Legendary Scale Bust on order from them which I got for £189.99. Which seems reasonable.

But this Predator 2 Maquette price is probably the most ridiculous I've ever seen from them.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Picked these up...

Just need the Maquette now, and an Alien LSB...maybe.
