Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette
spent 2300 on a custom piece from Joe that came broken.
I thought you said the new IM lsf was a bad price? I disagree about the pfs though, most of them are not worth $400 imo. I may just stick to the LSF line from here on out, maybe buying one per year. I'm still on the fence with this P2. I really like it and everything, but I could get the new IM LSF for not a whole lot more with discounts. Getting the P2 Ex with Ca tax would be pricey, even with $170 in points.
Did this happen to you with Joe? On your Wolf?

Depends what you mean by "good". A premium format I think is worth $400-$500 in today's market and I believe a Legendary is probably worth around $2000 due to the scale, detail and obvious jump in quality.
A Maquette like this is sitting bang in the middle with no justification other than it's got "Maquette" written on the box. It's smaller than some Premium formats yet more expensive in some cases more than double.
Like many I could justify it had it not had so many things either wrong or just missing all together. For me it has to be an amazing statue and then price goes out the window and I jump on board.
Deep down I don't want this because it's an awesome statue, I want it because it's a Predator 2 statue , I love Predator and I don't have one. That's enough to tell me that I'd be making a mistake.
Like I've said though if I can see it in person I may change my mind. The paint in particular would have to be really something else.
