Predator Masked Hunter Bust

[67L88Stingray]

No chance with this.
Wolf was the one and only example of an open edition piece being closed early.

If I remember right R2 and C3PO PF were also, but not many as you say.

So...
Who's still buying regardless?

 

[Heavy Metal Spike]

I still like it enough to go through with it - plus my Son thinks it's cool so it's another one he'll likely get in his room.

How old is he?
You're lucky, my nearly seven year old is a huge marvel fan but hates Predator.

Well I've already ordered it. Had I not rushed in however I would have at least held off ordering until things became more clear...

Just short of 13. He's been into the Predator stuff since he was little - Marvel & DC too.

He's grown up surrounded by my collection and has watched all the movies (some with judicious edits!)

My Daughter & Wife are cool with the kits & prepaints too - just as well since they are taking over the house.

I guess I need to hurry up and have a kid, I'm not getting any younger... They will be well trained

 

[Collectorcol]

Start 'em young...

yep, Wolf was a fluke. That won't happen too often, especially for this. They will try and make a few thousand of these. I just don't get why all the other Alien and Predator LSB's have a set ES, but this one doesn't. I hope they don't pull this crap with the Elder. I think we are due for a new 1:1 Alien and Predator though. Elder, P2, Grid and Dog need to be made in that scale.

@Col & Py -


Try this one too

Looks like SS getting greedy to me.
Pure & simple.

Me ordered the Ex as my P2 savage edition and P1 don't have the nameplate so I think this will look cool and go in line with the 2 Alien EX busts I ordered

 

[Collectorcol]

Nice one Steve.
Exactly what I was thinking, a Predator nameplate to go with the Alien one I'll get with BC.
With the ES farce I decided to save cash and get this local. Although I won't have a Predator nameplate it probably wouldn't be seen anyway as I plan to have the Pred Busts in the Besta and the Alien Busts ontop.
Probably £40-50 cheaper locally. Hard to judge the rising price of postage from Sideshow and this is still a year away.

I never look at the name plate on mine, I'm just an ES snob I think... I'm not sure the EX P1s even go for much more money than the regs on the aftermarket, if any.

 

[MIKE M]

what is the going price for the unmasked predator 1 lsb ?

 

[67L88Stingray]

The ones I see are usually $50-100 more for the EX. Regs I see are around $500.

Lol. That's exactly why I ordered the EX as well. Well, that and because of flex pay.

That is just awesome!!! Now to find that outfit for my daughter for 'wear what you like Friday!'
