Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Not impressed with the prototype paint apps. Final product will look much worse.

Shouldn't have been priced at more than $500.

Oh well.

1200.00 for a pf? Did they make a mistake by labeling this a pf? Maybe it's really an LSF? The price is too much for a pf. Huge biggest pass ever! Congrats to all who buys this. It will be an excellent pf in your collections.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

I was 99% sure this was going to be over $1000. Reminds me of the LSF Wolf when we all thought it may be more around $1500. I had to have it and forked over the extra money and I imagine a lot of fans will do the same for this one. With the pose being meh and the paint apps being underwhelming on the proto.... $1200 is an easy pass for me.

I ordered it. It will be a nice addition to my predator collection. Plus it's the only statue I wanted from the comic con.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Seems like many people are passing maybe we'll get a low ES for the EX.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Comic book guy your funny dude. If the ES end up being low and they say there done making them you will be kicking yourself in the butt. Then a week later you'll be asking someone to sell you theirs. By then the price will be higher.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

sideshow pics do NOT suck, it's when you open the white styrofoam then the suck will stare at you in the face.

but i just dont care anymore, if it isnt what i expected i will just return it to sideshow, especially on a $1200 piece. No harm done.

I will do the same. Don't want to pay extra $$$ for EX later on.

Maybe its the pictures....many times sideshow does not have good lighting for their pictures. Its just my opinion on this piece as far as I can see. I have seen much of Joe's work and he is an incredible artist for sure. Do not think you know everything I like or agree with based on one comment sir.

Re: Predator 2 City Hunter 1:4 Maquette

Rising costs and people threw themselves at the original maquette, so they know that people have badly wanted another 1/4.

.... and because collectors are willing to pay top dollar on the secondary market for the P1.

If this was a Legacy piece or taken from an actual maquette used in the film I could see some justification in the $1200.

Right it looks like collector's are willing to get raped like they don't give a damn.

That is usually the case with use collectors. If we want a piece we will shell out a premium to get it. Why do you think these pieces becomes so valuable on the secondary market?

What do you want though? Some people just have more expendable income to buy things. Either you get priced out and pass, you pay MSRP, or you pay more later. Such is the way the world turns.

Good for you guys who prefer to stand up for the cause though. Keep "speaking with your wallets"

Sorry but what cause do you speak of. Now, I really do not have room to talk as I pay more than things are worth but it was not for a cause or any reason other than I wanted it. The only cause I can think of is continuing to let sideshow get away with gouging people? Sorry, but I am seriously confused at how someone buying an overpriced statue is standing up for a cause that means anything?
