If Blaine is wave 2 then they should release Mac with him. Dillion can wait and even if they don't make him he is an easy kitbash from Apollo Creed, just throw on a cap, vest, and a couple of MP5's. If they do make Dillion he better have a removeable arm like the BD Pred. I don't really see them doing Hawkins and Poncho but I'm sure they will make a BD Predator with med-kit like they did for Predator 2. They would be stupid not to milk THE Predator for every penny they can get. I'd much rather have a BD Pred and a mudcaked primal Dutch for wave 3 than Poncho or Hawkins.

And I'm probably gonna have to get 2 Billy's so I can display one bare-chested holding the Bowie knife.
 
Even if the paint apps were dead-on, I still wouldn't have bought Billy. He's just not an important enough character to justify dropping $150 on for a person like me who's just a small time 1:6 scale figure collector. My collection was going to be limited to just Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Predator 2, and the original Predator when it inevitably came to be. So I'm already making an exception and adding Dutch to my collection; he'll be my one and only plain ol' human character, but I think it'll be cool being able to pose the Predator with an opponent.

:lecture:lecture:lecture Couldn't have said it better myself! I mean just picture my position, if you will. This is what Billy would end up costing me in the end:

$195 just for the figure delivered and converted to CDN $$$
$50 for a good repaint with delivery
2-4 months wait for repaint.

$245? No thanks. Predator and Dutch are more than enough for me! They look amazing and are more a must for me.
 
I am buying Billy, i'm just to big a fan of the first movie not to. I need every original predator fig.
 
i'd get him if he was $60-$80 like the aliens marines were.
he ain't, so it's a pass.

maybe ht will find out most people won't pay $160+ for a plain old military figure.

It's Billy from Predator, not a plain old military figure.

nah. i'm not seeing it.
 
how is it my problem?
i'm not blowing $160 on a military figure. i'm not running the toy manufacturer who's trying to sell it.
seems more like it's everyone else's problem but mine.

I'm glad to buy it so it certainly isn't my problem.

Regarding blowing money on figures, just name some of the figures you have bought recently then i'll comment on blowing money.
 
i see about $60-$80 worth of likeness there.

That's your problem.
