It is a shame they don't use the time to fix some of the issues.

Wow, this is surprising. I was thinking June/July not October. Jeez. This is strange too considering this piece is supposedly at one of the better factories. The same in fact that XM Studios uses. There was a pic of the maquette in the background of an XM photo. It's probably in this thread, but I can't be bothered to search for it right now.

Still saying February on the product page.

If it does go to October that's got to be a sufficient delay to get the NRD back.
Didn't DHAVAL lose his NRD?

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

At this point, I'm keeping my order. Don't really care about the NRD getting back to me. It's funny I was just looking at pics the other day from SDCC of him to get me pumped up.....for nothing now

What do you mean by getting the NRD back? If someone cancels? Or the credit they sometimes give you as compensation for delays?

It was in reference to DHAVAL losing his NRD.
Pretty sure a few of us told him to wait for the inevitable delays.

Never known anyone to get a credit for a delayed item

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Mine is still showing Feb but I'll buckle in and expect that to change. I really don't mind delays, and I appreciate the honesty here. But with a whole extra year they could have maybe fixed the head if nothing else?

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

They might show Feb, but again SSAlex already came out and said its delayed..I think its just a matter of them updating their site, as I doubt she would confirm a delay without knowing for sure...

I called them today and the rep I talked to had no idea about any delays with this, we will have to see

their reps, unfortunately, are often clueless, although I haven't had any bad experiences with them yet.

October is indeed the new planned date, but not definitely confirmed so it may be later.

Sorry Python but I cannot confirm with 100% accuracy that the October date will stick. Given how long it's been already and how far it was pushed back I can say the team is working really hard to ensure that October date sticks but an issue could always arise between now and before it ships that could prevent that month from sticking.

The production team isn't satisfied with how this piece is coming out and so bumped it back to have more time spent to make sure this piece is coming out as a glorious Predator piece!

I certainly understand the frustration that you and so many have when an item does get delayed (not only by a month but by many many months) and for that I truly do apologize for that frustration. I can only hope that once this item is in hand that some, if not all, of that frustration will dissipate. Additionally, for those that are too frustrated and fear that canceling will cause them to lose any money already invested (either through an NRD or FLEXPay), please contact our Customer Service department and they can cancel your order and give you a full refund due to the delay on this piece.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I will not cancel mine. I think this will come out really nice. I hope they will include a stand for the extra head

 

[Python]

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Stand was confirmed a long time ago, still haven't seen it though.

Praying that all these delays will somehow result with an accurate masked and unmasked headsculpt.

Really? Well that's good news at least.

Keeping my order as well. I'm in no rush and have a ton of other stuff coming anyway. I'm fine waiting.

They're obviously not getting what they've been asked to do right so expecting improvements?

 

[marker2037]

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

It is what it is at this point. I like the prototype enough to order it as is.

Close to proto will suffice

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

So October it is? No problem for me, I got enough coming in Q1

Yes, well painted crap is all we can hope for now...
