    For a while TRU stocked wave 1 but I haven't seen any on the shelves lately, BBTS has wave 1 and 2 up for preorder but if you buy them individually they don't have either version of classic pred in stock

    BBTS Wave 1 set (including classic): $44.99
    BBTS individual: Berserker $12.99 Falconer $14.99
    BBTS Wave 2 set (including classic): $44.99

    The only other store I've checked is toywiz which for the wave 1 set is $54.99 and wave 2 set is $52.99, BBTS is the better way to go

    LOVE these Predators figures. There are only three complaints I have.

    1. My Classic's knee broke off. I managed to glue it back together, but I can't move it. :(  Luckily, BBTS said they would ship me a replacement next week.
    2. The Berserker and Falconer could have REALLY benefited from some balljointed ankles. They can be really annoying to pose sometimes.
    3. They could also use some more accessories. Falconer obviously needs his Falcon, I think the Berserker and Classic really could have used some trophy accessories.

    But overall they're awesome. I have the Tracker on preorder, and I can't wait to get the Elder and masked Classic Predators. Hopefully Neca continues from that and makes figures like the Lost Predator, Hunter Predator, Guardian Predator, and a Celtic Predator. I just want an army of these guys. :D 
    Also, these figures influenced me to get three of the Cult Classics Aliens to pit them up against.

    agree on 2nd opinion.about the trophies.berserker could have had maybe that predator skull.classic didn't have trophies in the new movie so they didn't include them.if I remember correctly the normal masked classic will include trophies
    also neca will continue making them.they will make all lost preds .but not avp ones.they said they don't care about the designs.personnally I would love to have celtic ,though

    2011 .January or February.in wave 3:normal masked calssic pred,elder from p2,predhound

    That doesn't make sense to me. It seems like they would, even if they don't like the designs. All of the AVP guys are the same body with just different heads and accessories. it seems like it would be a cost saving way to put out a whole new wave.

    While I love the NECA predators figures somethings about the actual company itself bother me, the fact the they don't do a lot of things because they don't care for the design, personally I think the avp preds would be a big seller, just look at the price at what the mcfarlane figures go for. I also think they should do some human figures but they have stated they'd only be interested in Dutch

    Actually, I was talking about the human skull/spine trophies. The Berserker got one in the movie from the inmate, and it would have been cool to see that included with him I would really love to have a Predator on my shelf holding one of those, especially a bloody one.

    got falconer.he is so cool


    I compared that head to berserker's.it's different mask,dreads ,but part of the head that you can see is used for berserker too.which means ,that if you buy two un-masked berserkers ,you can take one's head and repaint it in green and yellow ,also repaint the dreads to brown and you will have a nice unmasked falconer

    The new Assassin's Creed Ezio's (black and white clothing versions) are out - I think I'm going to pass on them and pick up a Play Arts kai Ezio, though.

    I got the white clothes Ezio last week. I prefer the black armor, but the white one came with the extra hidden blade. Really lame amount of accessories compared to Altair who had a sword, dagger, and hidden blade.
