Triple dipping Big Chap!

I get it, I don't love that my only two "1/3" pieces look kinda dumb next to each other due to the scaling....

Yeah that's correct on the Ol' Chap. They reissued it. I'm still kinda pissed they pulled that stunt! Either way I'm still happy to enjoy the regular Aliens at least for years before these new one's see the light of day anytime soon. It could be 8 years from now before all three are out. Maybe more?

@ 8 years, but point taken.

Maybe more like 9 years then. (3 years a pop) What do you think?

1/3 Scale XL ?
Does that mean the large end of 1/3 but not quite 1/2 scale?
Similar to when XM released 1/4 Psylocke which edged closer to 1/3 without being 1/3 scale.

XL ?
Is this a form of bending licensing rules?

What next, Prime 1 offering 1/3 SM (small) pieces, to somehow offer a piece closer to 1/4 scale without obtaining the 1/4 license?

As Gary has pointed out Prime 1's previous 1/3 Aliens match their 1/4 Predators quite nicely.

All comes down to making additional sales to appease some customers is better than forgoing sales to appease some customers. Which I agree with.

Seemingly before they were able to do 1/4 DC it was assumed that's why the Batman with the Justice Buster was not labeled as 1/4 even though it's almost 1/4
