Totally baseless and incorrect.

Did you miss that big banks are getting bailed out right now? It doesn?t get any bigger than bailing them out and we are just getting started. Housing is ALWAYS the last to go. It may not get 2008 bad, but I think it will at least get a lot worse than now. Too much greed and money printed during COVID. If people think things aren?t going to get worse, they are living under a rock.

It's still a 3-4K statue. It's still subject to the same whims of the "new" wearing off for some people.
People are going to want to recoup that money especially for a single statue.

As much as we go on about being married to these things there's always an element of this hobby that will be about getting something new and this will pay for quite a few smaller statues.
Many people bought this on hype whether they admit it or not. Heck I don't like many fundamental things about it but still consider a purchase every time I open this thread...

Yea, the ES is quite large, along with a huge price tag. I do think in a few years, this will be harder to find once they sit in more of a permanent home. I sold all my smaller Predator statues just to get this one.

Neither of the 2 banks are getting bailed out at the moment....

Uh.. hey guys..

I was looking a the regular run of Jungle Hunter 1/3 Predator on P1’s website and it’s showing an ES size of 300, wasn’t it highr than that for the regular run??

[chavez553]

Oh never mind. It was set at that ES. Total was 1800 for the whole run of all three. Whoops.

[Jungle Demon]

It’s the most challenging mass produced Predator ever.

Well in other news. I?m almost near completion of my new entertainment theater game room. Not putting anything in here except 1 or two items as far as collectibles go. Predator for sure.

Predator will go in the left side corner. Would have preferred it by the window but I cant have it there. I only made the cabinets to support a 22.5? deep top and if the Predators base overhangs too much I can always make top extension attachment with n the left hand corner and attach it to the top and then have the wall support it too. Might look a little off but I?m not making my whole built in 28-30? deep.

Maybe in a week I?ll have it done.

That is Nice indeed.

Atm i'm debating ordering acrylic sheets or real glass to make another dust cover at 79x79x105cm (31"x31"x 41.5"). Cut Glas is only $70 more.

For the 1/4 preds i used 4mm acrylic, but the instant glue (zap-a-gap) gave strong fumes and white stains along couple of edges.
Think i will go for real glass (4mm tempered) for the Jungle hunter.

Thanks man.


Yeah sounds messy. I thought about doing some kind of acrylic enclosure myself. But instead of sealing it completely, just use some fittings or a frame of some kind a material wood or metal to fit all together.

Guess like an Acrylic case.
