Prime 1 Berserker Predator Statue

[Riozza311]

Not sure how many people are gonna buy this..prime1 shipping is 1100$ and now BBTS has 3 versions 3920$ then 4720$ and 4900$..if they plan on the Pres alien and it?s 10-20% bigger than a predator, I can?t see it less than 5K..the shipping is gonna kill a lot of sales on these 1/3

I'm crossing fingers for a Warrior Alien. Something from the first two films would sell better at that pricepoint than AVP.

I'd love a 1/3 Predalien bust, though.

Not many, besides Flankster lol. This DX Berserker statue would cost me $1450 MORE total, than the DX Jungle Hunter statue with Bonus did. They're pricing us fans out. No bust either sucks too. I'm a hold off and see what price tag they slap on Wolf.

At what point does Flankster become Brokester?

Definitely pricing us out..1100$ shipping and BBTS is in the U.S?I ordered a 425lb safe last year and paid under 500$ for shipping from Oregon to Mass ..how can they charge so much for a statue..every piece is going up 100-1000$

They're normalizing each piece going up & shipping and expect people to be weak and accept & order anyway. I've ordered a lot of their previous stuff, but I think the buss stops here. I think of what else I can buy for 4 - 5K and it makes it easier to pass. I bet I can buy this statue used in a few years for less off someone on eBay anyways. Maybe it will go on sale when it doesn't sell out... Who knows?

Pure Greed. I'm done and skip all announced 1/3 from Prime.

Here mr big shot has already replied.
There will be no busts and no parts changed or added. Not even one small open hand for the regular version which is $100-$400 more then the reg version of CH and JH both with more switchouts.

No way in these times would I pay 2900$ plus sales tax plus 1100$ shipping for such a basic design. The jungle hunters still up on the website what makes them think they can sell the berserker for 4-5k especially with the 3 AVP 1/3 coming up to. Absolutely crazy, cant see anybody collecting prime1 with these prices.

I'm curious as to how many CH busts will actually get made. I have a feeling it will be very few, perhaps too few to justify continuing the bust series. Especially if people always balk at the price.

What I'm more confused about is Prime 1's confidence in this 1/2.5 statue line. These are enormous and increasingly expensive pieces. I don't think bust collectors would jump to the full statues just because Prime 1 stops making their preferred format. We're talking a $2000 difference in price and a two-foot difference in size. I dunno about you, but the news about Berserker not getting a bust doesn't have me contemplating the full statue.

I'm admittedly eager to see whatever Alien(s) they make to display next to these, but it'll be a one-and-done deal for each species. Maybe throw in the 1/3 T2 Endo for the holy '80s trinity. There's a good chance that in a few years' time, those will be the only collectibles I have.

They've just come out with an Alien Warrior. I can't see Prime doing it again so soon.
