Also 1/4 Guts rage deluxe weighs 41.4 kg and this 1/2,5 regular Pred 45.6 kg, so no idea why people are surprised by weight

Not if your local retailer has 'free' shipping (obviously included in the price).

I wish they were a bit more creative. It's fine to try and recapture the magic of the CM, but there's no reason not to make other structural improvements as well.
Left is what the Prime 1 and CM bases look like. Personally I would've liked a more equilateral shape like the one on the right.
It's close enough to what the CM has, but you could rotate it however you want and it would still be symmetrical. Would also conserve space.

yeah for sure, but this guy I think was talking about retail+150$ to US, which usually ends up going up especially for prime 1 pieces

I guessed it was gonna be $2500 back when it was 1st teased. I was right on the money. (for the regular version) ... Shi* I was hoping the DX was that though...
I noticed the necklace doesn't have the rope look. The fabric looks like leather instead. The spots on the head are decent, but not exactly movie accurate. Not having the closed mouth is a real bummer...

Agree. Man that looks like a nightmare to pose and a big space hog. I plan to pose it facing diagonal across the room, not sure if that's possible now due to the shape. Have limited space so can't even buy a spinner and spin this guy around Without it knocking into the wall

Well, I came home from work with lots to read. Price is too much imo, I expected the DX to be about what the reg is. But it is undoubtedly awesome! And it's so nice to see that Prim 1 actually listened to a few things. You're all very welcome for picky gits like me. Really happy that they have smoothed out those wrinkles, hopefully they will do the same to the legs.
Now to decide whether to cancel my 1/4 version and put it towards this monster...

Just noticed the folded cannon also, even if it is hidden behind the DX barrier. I'm going to ask for even more stuff next time.

As a Canadian, probably not realistic to get this. 4k US for the DX plus anywhere from 1000-1500 for shipping. I'm not a big enough Predator fan to pay that.

No one thought that!!!
But you have to understand whose reading and try to scew the mkt to price lower
Its simple strategy

I agree that this smokes the CM version in every way, they just need to iron out the wrinkles, literally!
