Wow this could get expensive...

[Natty]

Hey guys, I am new here, and to collectibles in general.

About Me:
I am a 21 year old student studying Maths and Statistics at the University of Plymouth in the sunny UK. I also have a massive Blu-Ray addiction!

Collectibles I have:
NECA 1:4 scale Predator (open mouth version)
Kotobukiya Iron Man Mark IV

Collectibles I am looking to get:
Any Hot Toys 1:6 Predators! I was wondering, since I am new, if someone could please list all the HT 1:6 Predators for me please? Preferably with links to pictures and listed within rarity categories? Also if you could give me a price range (preferably in £s) as to what would be a good amount of money to spend. I know certain things come into this like whether the box is included, whether it is sealed etc. I almost bought a sealed HT Predator 1 the other day, it went for £300 on eBay, I hope I'm not going to regret not buying it! This will be a painstakingly slow process trying to get these since I am a student haha, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks guys

Nathan

I love preds too

Regarding Predator 1 , £300 is over the top I bought mine a couple of weeks ago for £195.00 inc

Use that degree to get a good job at a financial services firm and make lots of dough to be able to pay the secondary markets prices from these SOB's. I shelled out P1 & Dutch, both like new in box, would also go for a Pvt Billy Sole. but can not justify the $ on the P2 & AVP variations. I did PO the Predators and I am happy I did. I think P1 iconic and though enjoyed AVP&R, really liked the Predators story and Super Predators. They are milking P2 to this day, IMO.

Welcome aboard. And just Google Hot Toys Predator and look in shopping. That's pretty accurate for what's out there. To list everyone and a link with pricing, that's a little much considering they're almost 20 made.

Here's a quick list, not including 2nd editions;

AVP- Scar
Chopper
Celtic
Elder
Ancient
AVPR- Wolf
Predator 1
Predator2- City Hunter
Elder
Lost
Guardian
Shadow (TBR)
Predators- Berserker
Falconer
Tracker


See what I mean?

Hey guys Thanks for the welcomes! And thanks for the links, very helpful! I count 20 different releases and I am probably missing some. Here is my list so far:

Predator: MMS90 – Predator

Predator 2: MMS45 - Predator 14 inches model kit
Predator 2: MMS45 - Predator 14 inches model kit (Battle Damaged Version)
Predator 2: MMS48 - Elder Predator
Predator 2: MMS76 - Lost Predator
Predator 2: MMS126 - Guardian Predator (2010 Toy Fairs Exclusive)
Predator 2: MMS154 - Shadow Predator (2011 Toy Fairs Exclusive)

Predators: MMS137 - Falconer Predator
Predators: MMS147 - Tracker Predator with Hound
Predators: MMS130 - Berserker Predator

AVP: LAVP051111 - MMS08 - Scar Predator
AVP: LAVP051112 - MMS09 - Celtic Predator
AVP: MMS15 - Chopper Predator
AVP: MMS16 - Elder Predator
AVP: MMS18 - Scar Predator (8th Ani-com version)
AVP: MMS30 - Ancient Predator (Special Edition - Sideshow Exclusive)

AVPR: MMS53 - 14 inches Predator Model Kit
AVPR: MMS66 - Predator model kit (cleaner version)
AVPR: MMS66 - Predator model kit (cleaner version) with Alien Chestbuster (Sideshow Exclusive)

Obviously it includes exclusives aswell so they don't really count.

Another question I have is, I have been offered an Iron Man MKIII for £80 with all accessories and the box, the only problem is according to the guy selling is that "He does have the faded rubber pieces". Is this a good deal? I can't really see what he means from the pictures because they are quite blurry.

Thanks again

Nathan

Your looking at £300-400 for the predator 2's and £400-500 for the AVP's, possibly more.

Woah! That's a ridiculous amount of money Hmm, maybe I need to have a rethink...

Yeah, it is ridiculous. If I were you i'd just stick with the newer releases and maybe hope to get lucky on ebay once in a while.

 

[Gargoyle67]

AVP range will be mine one day

That's all of them. But the exclusive Cleaner Kit Wolf isn't an altogether new figure. Just SSC and Toy Hunters get exclusives for some HT figures, and it's just they throw a blister pack in with the figure that has the exclusive piece.

The other exclusive pieces are the P1 non-battle damaged mask, and the P2 BD version had an exclusive battle damaged mask. I sold my ex P1 mask, and my BD P2 ex mask is still in the box because it's nothing that's accurate to anything from the movie. It's damaged more like the Classic Predator's from Predators.

Good luck trying to get some of these. The Predators figs you can still get for retail, but the others are pretty pricey now-a-days. The P2 Elder goes for over $1000 usd, and some of the AVP figs are right behind that. The P2 figs (City Hunter and BD versions) are pushing over $500 recently, but you can get Lost for about $300 and Guardian for around $400. Wolf is about the same in the $3-400 range. P1 is quickly rising in price, too. Goes for about $4-500 or more.

If you plan on getting Shadow, insure you're signed up for the newsletter and are PPO registered, because that will probably go up as a PPO for newsletter members. But, also a good chance it'll just be a regular release. No one knows for sure yet, but it's better safe than sorry.

Good luck and say good-bye to your money
