this is really weird, I made an account with CSC like in March? Feb maybe?
wanted to order the preds but never did, I mean, I never paid for them, or anything,


now I got an email with a shipping confirmation number, I was like WTF is this??? :dunno

I think I clicked on preorder to see what the shipping was like in march or something, but I never put my card there, I don't know,
i send an email, just weird,

the worst thing is that I might end up buying at CSC and paying the extra dough, :panic:
 
I was reading posts but today are too Many! lol
sorry

anyways for those buying from Toys R us, I got an email back:

I see that your order is still on backorder. I'm very sorry for the
delay of your order and for any inconvenience this has caused you. I
completed some research and see that we are expecting additional
inventory in approximately two weeks. You will receive a shipping
confirmation email to xxxxxxxxxxxx once the Predator Action
Figures ship from our fulfillment center.

If you need any further assistance, please feel free to call us at
either of the numbers listed below or just respond to this email. Thank
you again for contacting RUs.com. We value your business and look
forward to serving you in the future!

Sincerely,

Dori Perle


so that's what I got for an answer,
Don't know if it means we really are getting them or they aren't getting them but they don't want me to cancel yet,

i am sorry to be so stupid, really am sorry,
what does backorder really mean? i know they don't have them and I preorder, does that mean the same as preorder not met yet? or does it mean i might, or might not get them? I preorder these, a long while ago, don't know... sorry :monkey2

This sounds to me like it means they're finally getting them in in 2 weeks. Your order's been on backorder since you placed it. TRU doesn't differentiate between preorder and backorder on this kinda stuff.

That makes me confident they are still getting them. I'll stick with my TRU order.

first I didn't know what BBTS meant when they were talking about the condition and saying Sub and standard lol :slap

If you say is good then I guess I can rest, This predator business is giving me a heart attack,
now I have to see why CSC send me a shipping number.... damn :panic:
 
I went to CSC just see what all this hype was about and I ended coming out with two of these!!! I just wanted the closed mouth version but my insisted on the bio one. But it just didn't look as good as the other ones. BTW.....does anybody know who make some drool, so can put on the closed mouth????

At CSC

Another of my faviorite scenes is the ENCOUNTER.

* drops it hard

One of my faviorite scenes is when he rips Billy's spine with authority and shows he's the baddest animal ever when he roars!

"Predator" was in process in early 1982. Only very shortly 3 years from "Alien" 1979.

you're saying what ever you can to get your posts up aren't you. seriously. :lecture
 
Received my shipping notice from CSC as well. I've been a customer of theirs for almost 3 years now and they're awesome.
 
I can't imagine the grey spots on the gums being too big a deal, as weird as it is that they're there. Seems like a single-toned area, so finding paint to use over those places wouldn't be too difficult.
 
Mista Chewie, as much as we love to see the front of him, do you mind posting pictures of the sides of him and expecially the behind.
 
While on the topic of awesomeness, major credit must go to Alan Silvestri's epic soundtrack. The soundtrack is loaded with so much mood, tension, and atmosphere.
Equally as excellent as Horner's "Aliens" or Fidel's "The Terminator" soundtracks.


Agreed!

Alan's thundering score provides the perfect blend of mood, claustrophobia and tension that finished off the film to perfection, sounds amazing on Blu-ray in 7.1 surround, too.

My two favorite moments was when Pred emerged from the water shaking his head as his cloaking was shorting out and also when he was standing on that high log firing blindly as all hell broke loose around him.

Isn't it amazing how the older cloaking effects from P1 and P2 look better somehow than the cloaking effects of the newer movies? Reminds me too much of Halo in the newer films.

That loud whipping sound his plasma caster made when it fired is so badass.

yeah, like I said, that seems like a very easy job, I'm not even a customizer or anything at all, but yeah, seems easy to fix
