[Centurion]

At this time, I say Classic Predator.

Newest body and paint app/techniques.
Ability to pose with multiple options:

• biomask on/off
• BD biomask
• open/closed mandibles
• gauntlet computer open/closed
• 2 earth holograms
• detailed, sculpted/painted base

Best reason: you can have one now.
No waiting like most of us here had to do.

Hahahaha Was there a time when HT predators were actually $80 , I remember reading this in a thread once.

Colonial Marines were $80. I believe HT Predators were like $130 or something around that.

Hahahah I've always wanted a ht predator since the p2 was still on sideshows website but didn't have enough and didn't know how this all worked. ($130! What happened?)

:eek
Wow... if HT figures had those prices today my collection would be twice as large...

But that's because we're now paying $180+ for HT figures.

But if we've never seen those prices, and $80 was the norm, we'd be complaining when they start charging $85 per figure.

Yeah, probably! But, not only did the prices rise but the quality and likeness as well.

It's true. In those days, $130 for a Celtic Predator seemed like a lot of money, but that was when Sideshow Star Wars figures were $50. Everything's relative I guess.

Indeed. This is so true... about everything in life.

Droves of collectors will walk away if the price doubles what it is today for 1/6 basic figures by Hot Toys.

We are already paying double what we were paying a few years ago as it is. It's not a sudden thing, it just goes up afew $ release by release so it's less noticable.

 

[Boba Ben]

I'll notice if they're retailing for $440 and I'll just enjoy what I have at that point.

LOL! True.

 

[Reefer Shark]

Miss those days

Good news and bad news.
The bad news is that I waste a lot of money. The good news is that I have a lot of money!! Just ordered the Predators trio and hopefully I'll have them this week!!
