Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

All that moaning and you've ordered?!?!?!

Between you and Solarsailor

Anyway congrats
Lets hope for a great one with no delays.

I know, we are such little kids

At least we came through though and proved that the endless complaints were actually coming from people with a high interest in the piece and not just because! I mean I'm still not 100% with a couple of things but at 300 edition size , sideshow got us where it hurts!!!

I'm not usually big on EX but 300 for a 1/4 Predator, you have to admit is damn good.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I went on live chat, warrior lsb will be $40-60 and the P2 $120 unless they decide to offer a flat rate later on. Like I said, both of those seem excessive to me, I'm hoping they will be lower.

That said, Sauron is $94 and he is a lot bigger than the P2...

In for a penny, in for a pound!
2014 will be my last year building my collection.
May as well make it a good one.

A fine point... I think we earned the right to complain after committing $1200+ to the cause I'm still hoping for a few changes, the dreads if anything but I can't see it now, it seems ss have realised they messed this one up a bit and slapped a low es on it, I doubt they will invest a single cent in fixing anything at this point. Still, let's hope they do a top class job on it and the long wait and hard work that will go into paying for this is worth it in the end, it could turn out great..

I think the price kept the ES low.

Look at the new Capt. PF, 1,000 Ex & 3,000 Reg

The low ES should allow for a higher level of quality control by Sideshow. Here's hoping for the best and sitting back and just wait.

Jumped on waitlist.... placed on 2014-01-15 21:25:00

That's a low ES for a very popular character. Can't see losing any money if I hate it.

Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Happy with the 300 edition size for the exclusive.This is the most expensive piece I've bought to date. So it makes me feel a little better knowing that it will hopefully hold it's value. Not that I plan on ever selling it. I cannot wait to have a 1/4 scale predator in my collection even with the minor flaws. I sure hope this doesn't get delayed too many times.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

300 is low for anything, even a less popular line.

I think a few things have came into play. The price obviously first and foremost was not only a shock, but it ruled a ton of people out straight off the bat. I must admit I even though it was too much for me, but having a think this could be one of the few statue's I buy this year and I came into some cash.

Then you had the issue's and on top of that finally you have Sideshow just releasing a TON of stuff. I can't remember so many PF or statue's being up for pre-order or in the works. I mean even now is a lot but we still have Keaton bats, Ledger joker and a whole bunch of stuff that can pop up over the next few months.

Honestly though I think 1300 is fair all in all, maybe a smidge high for the regular (750 would have been nice) but a big character so fair play.

Regular?! Who cares?

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

1) This will probably not make the stated ship date, as is the case with most Sideshow pieces.
2) When it does finally ship it will be a Grail piece.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

random question--what constitutes a grail piece? level of awesomeness? low ES? obviously some combo of both--would u guys think the apocalypse EX with a 750 ES is a 'grail' or is it entirely subjective?

Agree button pressed on all fronts! I don't care if it's late, just don't botch that paint job Sideshow!

I',m not giving them an inch on this one! I'll take your flaws if you give me the perfect Maq.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Amazing that Apocalypse is almost a complete sellout now. I think the reg had the less than 10 alert. 750 EX and 1500 reg at $600 each. Glad I got the EX on him.

All of the above, although the term grail is getting thrown around now. Low ES first and foremost then demand of the piece.

Apocalypse kind of surprises me if he's sold out, I guess people see the profit once they put him into the X-men franchise movies. I prefer the Gladiator Hulk myself but no EX on that one.
