Predaking Buy It Now on Ebay for $105

[Darth Grimlock]

Why not wait for the 2010 release if you're wanting Predaking. You'll have everything in one set, minty fresh.

I buy strictly vintage. No reissues.

Which is cool... I tried to piece together one a few years ago and it was gonna cost more for the little pieces then the re-issue... Just my thoughts...

What's the worms? Was there a large argument here about whether the reissues are just as good and acceptable as generation 1? I agree they're acceptable if they're the same but I don't have the time to sit down and find out which ones have slight differences. I'd rather just buy old ones.

Poeple buy the originals entirely on the grounds that they're vintage, as opposed to buying the cheaper and better conditioned reisssues. It's like being original run means they're made of fucking gold or something

Wow, relax. Sounds like someone already got you a little frustrated with this. For me I got a good reason, I just don't have time to sit down and figure out which ones have little differences. If it's the same I'll take the reissue but I'm self employed, time is money and I'd rather spend more money on getting vintage rather than waste time trying to compare them. If someone else did the comparison work for me I'd consider it but until then I have a great reason for it. I can understand what you mean though.

Literally speaking, it will save the money and life will be easier. However, I can not control the time when there are other transformers/toy popped up in the retail stores or on ebay. If I spend $200 for the predaking and save the money for that item, but I am out of budget to buy the Zellers 40% off B M set, and other discount items in the retailer for this month. Somewhere or another, I might still spend more money to get those after the sales. Unless I have several budgets for G1 fund, ROTF fund, universe fund, WOC fund and Generation fund; then, I do not have to make the hard choice.

It probably won't be cheaper unless you manage to find the parts for a deal as well, but I agree with you 100% that piecing one together over the course of a few months is more fun. I'm almost done piecing together a computron, I'm missing 3 or 4 of the little weapons.

Ya for sure. Someone here in Calgary just had the Predaking head on Ebay and I bid $5 with 10 seconds left and I was winning it but I bid too early, the guy had enough time to bid $5.50 with 2 seconds left and I lost it. I'll get it all together eventually.
