AmiAmi still had some (like 9) in stock a couple days ago with the same deal and I'm sure they will get more later if needed. I'm still undecided, if I get one, I'll probably want the CrazyDevy upgrades (despite what happened to Paul's wings, I don't care)... and that would translate into a lot of money. A LOT.

The paint on the metal is fantastic, and the plastic colours (Especially the gold and orange) just scream badass.

I was not able to compair this guy to my 2004 re-issue as I didn't have any time last night.

I don't know how this is on the original, but the Predaking head is a very loose fit and flops around when moved. Also I don't really like how the backpack stays on.. it's so loose and I can never get it to lay straight on his back, though this issue is the same with my original and I believe it is a fault of the original Predaking as well.

That being said, was he worth it? Hell yes! Those of us who were lucky enough to pre-order it at Amiami got it for a hell of a good price, but that said, paying Automatons price isn't a bad deal.

Yay I finally received my Predaking from AmiAmi. The head on my Predaking is pretty tight. But my Tantrum's horns and front legs are a quite loose. I am going to start to find some upgrade set with my Predaking. I might get only the sword from Crazy Devy since I have seen horror stories on the wings.

Have you guys heard of another upgrade set for Predaking involving another sword, cannons, and hands from TFclub?
