Closed mouth and battle damaged will be most sought after.
That?s actually pretty shocking but probably true.

Which is why I almost didn?t order this. Would seem to be just like purchasing an overly expensive piece of fancy plastic from Walmart. Lol.


But I did anyway. 😂

I honestly see this bust selling for double and up as time goes, once the DX and Reg full size statue sell out (both on low stock) there will be over 1200 full size predator owners who don’t have the closed mouth head which to me takes the statue into a rare category. The statue is amazing regardless but for the die hard predator fans to have that head sculpt and bust with detailed med kit to go with the best predator statue ever made it will be highly sought after

I was kind of luck as the UPS facility was only 25 minutes away from my residence.
Will do and understand. Fingers crossed the weather is good also.

I did look at rent options, but local shops/dealers (for small van) require using it within a limited radius only. This trip is twice as much (across border).

Don't like to borrow from neighbor either, so going decide this weekend if it will fit.

How much will it cost to get it delivered to your home? Could be an option if not too pricey.

Or not. Would you take that risk? I want it all and I want it now!

I have a guy in my local area that builds "museum quality" custom glass and acrylic cases. Any acrylic/glass fabrication shop in your area can build these types of cases.

That?s true.


A lot people don?t realize they can get glass and stuff custom built in their area. Costs money though.

If you?re handy you can save a tone of money and have stuff cut for you at your local mill to your specs and then slap it together yourself.


Learn hot to use a pocket hole jig. Maybe buy some simple tools to do the job. Talk about an investment.
