Predaking on my doorstep
Somebody left a Predaking on my doorstep. That someone is of course HOBBYlink Japan. The packaging comes sealed with a handle on the top of the box, suggesting a carrying case. Review will be posted this weekend!

The metal version is tempting, but I have a complete original plastic one, and he's in good enough condition that he won't need replacing. I only had to buy Razorclaw and Ramhorn a couple years ago, since I've had the other 3 since I was a kid. Ramhorn cost me about $30 with all parts and Razorclaw was around $40 with all parts. I guess I did end up getting one cheaper than if I had ordered this new version. The metal one would probably collapse my shelf anyway.
Predaking seems to be a love-it-or-hate it type of guy, I've noticed. I like the unified color scheme, whereas others think he's a big, orange, ugly mess.

How much did you all pay for yours?
I've looked at them, and I just can't justify spending the prices I've seen for it.
I know it's an arbitrary line to draw, but at some point you have to decide what's too expensive.
What Clay said=my thought about the whole G1 reissue lines.
Really want the original(basic) Rattrap's gun. Please PM me if you have one you might spare!

I'm not saying it ain't good,I'm saying between Sl Bruticus, Nemesis prime and BW2 Galvatron,not to mesntion 90% of the GF line that made me fall inlove with it,100+ dollars are too much for a toy i am not craving for. Sure, i like it. It looks like a good gestalt(in G1 prespective) but i will pass this one for the sake of Galaxy goodness.
Master Megatron grows on me by the minute, G Convoy looks like the perfect love child of Fire Convoy,G1 optimus and even Optimus Primal. Starscream rules, and i'm even sorry i canceled my preorder on V.Prime....
A line with multiple Convoys?this one is going to rock...

I got mine yesterday. Rock rock on! Yeah, Headstrong's still my favorite. I like everything about Rampage, except his head. Divebomb looks freakin' awesome with his wings. Predaking looks cool, but there's not much play value (a bit on the heavy side-I'm surprized they could sell the metal version. It could really kill someone if it were to fall off a shelf or something onto a kid). The wings kinda feel like an afterthought to pred, as they don't feel like they connect well.
