    I'll pass on all of these sets unless they do a proper scale sword for Predaking. That I might have to get. Otherwise I'm just fine with my Predaking as is.

    I bought the Devastator stuff, and I like the finished look, but at the end of the day, I regret how much it cost. I think they release them this way because $30-40 as a single purchase isn't to much to most collectors, but if you look at the total combined price for what you get, it's a very different story.

    I won't be buying any more from them. The head here seems redundant, and my initial reaction these wings are that they looked stupid.

    I'll either consider it when they put out a final grouped pack, or they go on clearance. If those never happen, I can live.

    Yeah, this just seems like such a rip-off when looking at the whole set that it's hard to justify. I've got the new Predaking on preorder at BBTS, so something like this is well-timed, just...$40 for wings?!

    If you go the BBTS route for the wings, it will probably run around $50 then.

    Too expensive. Ugh. It may look good when it's all said and done but it looks like it will cost as much as a Predaking.

    Possible. But I fully expect (if they don't initially match) CrazyDevy to release parts for this new version. They di as much with all the Devastator decos.

    That's true. As much as I'd love to get these I just can't justify the price. They are definitely "affordable" by my standards, but considering what I can get for the same price it just doesn't make sense.

    I'm honestly willing to bet the final price of all these add-ons will equal the cost of the new reissue which if that's the case will just blow my mind. The head preorder has already sold out on bbts. :crazy:

    I'm going to pass on these. Considering I'm getting the upcoming reissue, I'm willing to bet a second run will be done that matches the reissue colors. If crazydevy sees the need and opportunity to make a bit more off of their molds, I figure they will do it.

    I am considering getting the wings AFTER I get my predaking even though some might have issues with it but hey, I think it will look really cool cause since this is my first issue in over 20yrs since the first version of it came out. I consider myself lucky enough to even add it to my collection even the bigger wings at that to make him look a bit cooler.

    All their stuff looks awesome, but I just flat out can't afford the asking prices for the full set..

    Plus while it's cool and all, I don't know if I can justify $40 on some wings..

    It certainly all LOOKS really cool... but without getting it in one set for a convenient price.. eh..

    I hope these wings fit on Divebomb. They might look good on him. Plus I hope they send a piece that can support them on Predaking.

    its pretty.

    but how come it's the same price as swind-- munitioner? or explorer?

    this add-on doesn't add up.

    liking it so far but possibly it will come with something to make divebomb stay in pla more securly with wings being this size he may fall off more easily looking forward to see what else they can do with him if its possible bigger swords i agree will be better
