Great reference shots, Sean! Thanks for posting them. The tiny scratches and chipped paint are especially useful. Lots of nice oily grime, too. I really like how all the weathering and dirt contrasts with the bright shiny wear on the actuator rods. Looks pretty cold where you are, btw. No fun digging in frozen earth!
Thanks. It's not too bad, New England weather's more erratic than ever this year, cold and snowy last night, fairly warm and already melting today, Thanksgiving was 70 degrees, very uncharacteristic. Oh well what can you do. I'm just glad I had this chance, it's very helpful. I just walked by the window one morning while it was out there and thought to myself, heyyyy, Power Loader, so I snapped some shots before they're done and haul it away.
just got my power loader this friday and put it together. This is one huge figure, I think the only other thing I have bigger than this is the ultimate iron giant. that said, I dont think the power loader is worth the $250 asking price and it is a good decision from HT to include the Ripley figure. There are touches of cheapness to it that when compared to a cheaper gundam PG kit (since HT calls PL a model kit) it pales in quality and engineering. simply put, it's the best power loader made to date and quite possibly the only one we'll ever see in a long long time, and it's a good starting point to customize and repaint to make a killer PL, but straight outta the box, it doesn't deliver that "I am worth $250" feel.

In the UK prices for the Power Loader are ridiculous, around $400 at most places. Some ebay UK sellers have a BIN price of $480!!!! Figures of all types are so much more expensive over here that it really makes collecting prohibative to me, hence the reason I only have 2 figures so far. I was looking at prices for a Medicom Boba Fett as gift from the girlfriend for Xmas and I could expect to pay around £125 which is about $250!!!! Suffice to say I'l be getting cheap aftershave and a pair of novelty socks instead
I've found them very reasonable - and lightning fast. Never had a single problem ordering direct from HK.are shipping prices to the UK very high if you purchase them off hong kong sellers on ebay?
