Sorry if my post came across as a negative. I think my initial point was supposed to be more like ....I'm not ready to drop 4 grand until I see the total packages for both versions.
With them making ( like 10 changes) within a month of the drop , I'm happy to ride it out I think now. I think...
I can still get the DX right now at a discount. I'm sure they've sold a bunch for sure. I think with all the extras and changes within an extremely short time frame, they are really pushing the orders.
Don't get me wrong, I think this is the best predator I've seen hands down.
With the rate these updates are coming in and the price.....I think they know they are on the very outer limit of 95% of the collecting world. They are REALLY wanting to sell that DX and by the looks they are not shifting..... at least not as fast as they thought they would.
I had the money...
I think closed mouth is unlikely now, those extras' are mighty beefy and dare I say - "good value" in this hobby.
The only thing I wonder ....is it worth swapping out the extra DX Head Sculpt for a closed mouth version?! That would put the cat among the pigeons as they say!
I'm thinking they had those extra's penciled in as a back up for PO time. The speed of the turn around there is too fast. I'm thinking at that price point they weren't exactly flying off the shelves and you had a lot of blokes ( Like me) thinking the regular was going to do just fine, so they...
Man, they REALLY want you buying that DX version.
It does seem like you're getting your money's worth with those additions now. I might have to shift more than anticipated. The regular is basically dead weight at this point, unless they add those masks.
I had a dream last night I got this and when I opened the box, it was in lots of pieces, was plastic and I had to paint it like a model kit.
This is dread man. Truly dread.
It's funny people would like a closed mouth portrait considering no movie has got the open mouth right since the original !
Gimmi them open P1 mandibles every day all day 💕
Nice to have the option, but I love that mean face !
Youll never lose money on it, but I'd doubt you'd make as much as the old days. Honestly most people ( imo) are going to tap out at 4-5 grand ( + ridiculous shipping on top) and this is already at that space retail. Then you've got to post multiple big boxes , plus you've got to order the DX (...
Yup that loose Bio mask is the only piece that makes the DX tempting ( for me). I wouldnt display the Gort mask and I'm not fussed about the hands. Hopper tags are also nice.
However for over 500 smackaroonies I'd expect that Bio mask to Cloke me at the shops and allow me to see my dog at the...
