Looks great, price is the only thing I'm sitting on before committing to want to get it, love the Prime design and all, but I'm trying to trim down my collecting and if this costs too much, I won't give up a number of other things just for it, it's not the most important character or property to me, but for the right price, I'd love to get it.

This will cost some serious coin. 
Probably, I'd guess IM Mark 3 maquette level, and if that's the case, I won't be getting it, I'd say my ceiling is $1000, and even then, I'd really rather max out at $800 but I don't see it being that low.

Since Sideshow said it's one of the most complex pieces they've ever done, that's likely going to add to the price. I can't wait to see more pictures of it, but it's probably going to be outside my range as well.
If TF or Prime were my favorite property or character, I wouldn't hesitate, but I like other things more and $2000 is a lot of figures or statues from properties I care more about that I'd have to pass on to squeeze him in. Even the Vader 1:1 at $1250 was a lot, but it was a dream piece so that's why I didn't hesitate spending it.

I like the TF cartoons and movies, but they're not high enough on my list to warrant big spending. Plus, I can't seem to get away from the black hole known as Star Wars.

No real interest in Movie Prime but that base looks awesome!

I don't even like the movie designs... so definitely not something I'd want to drop cash on. I'm good with the Masterpiece Prime as my TF centerpiece.
I helped set up the booth yesterday (layout and pedistal dressing) and today (figure posing and final product set up), and I even got to handle this piece. He's amazing even up close, but he's extremely heavy (mostly base weight). He comes with two blade arms, and two fist hands at least that I've seen, but he's displayed with both guns on the floor. Height-wise he's human PF sized. Still a great scale for this character.

That's pretty much what I was hoping. I just don't have the space to display anything bigger than that and I'm trying to get rid of a few PF's I already have just to make room for this guy
I thought he was supposed to be 2' or more after last year's announcement of him, so I was actually releaved to see he was smaller. He's still Predator Maquette big though.
I'm sure the preorder will be in the next few weeks. But it'll probably start shipping in March at the earliest. Considering the current shipping estimates are already in Q1 of 2011, and this is very complicated, it might end up shipping next summer

looks amazing iyam....but there's no way I'll be able to afford it.....I'm guessing no lower than $699
Thanks for the pictures so far guys 
He does look like he is going to be VERY expensive which will then mean I might have to miss out on him probably even after using my points that I have saved to use on him especially!!
...the dream might have to continue

I saw the Blades but didn't notice the fists before you mentioned it,saw one fist in the first pic posted,huge Bonus if they add 2 fists as well.I wasn't a fan of the Pose holding 2 guns but with fists it makes this piece so much better.
I'm getting this for sure,as long as it costs under 1000$,but im sure it will.
Thanks for sharing the Info Silentsurfer
