Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette
This was a surprise coming home from work, i just read the last 20 pages which seems to be nothing but price discussions. Here are my thoughts:
1) The original 1/4 predator maquette was $1000, making this statue a 20% price increase over a 4+ year period, which seemed reasonable.
2) The original was made by stan winston studio - the pinnacle of creation. Viggiano Studio is also a very respectable studio, but nothing compares to winston.
3) The exclusive disc is a must imo replacing the empty hand, the breather hand on the flipside i dont care for, i think the regular spear hand looks much better.
4) My strategy will be wait until the edition size for the exclusive is announced, if it is low (<1000) i will order right away, if it is high (>1000) i will just wait for the waitlist as a high priced high es statue will have no problem converting later on.
5) Can we change the discussion towards the statue itself, everything looked good to me but i am not a hardcore predator fan like some of you. You experts notice any inaccuracies or issues with the statue? both masked/unmasked head, body, netting, etc.. ??
reward points of $167 used on predator 2 maquette . yeah
This is a horrible idea please dont do it. By applying $167 reward points on this $1200 statue, you just lost $60 ($1200 * 0.05) worth of reward points coming your way for purchasing this.
It's a favorite trick sideshow uses.
