I assumed that weight was high enough to guarantee it's die-cast. Piranacon is only 1.4 lbs. TFWiki lists Predaking at 2.2 lbs.

That was quick. It says the shipping weight is 5.88 pounds. That doesn't seem heavy enough to be diecast version. Can anybody weigh theirs for me?

Because I don't have a few bucks to put away. I've got 4 payments left on the newest computer yet, and if I'm not gonna make those 4 payments...
Let's just say good chunk of that payment would happily go to Predaking, if I didn't wanna pay off my computer.

For the plastic Predaking are you guys talking about the KO one from a year or three back? With the white Headstrong (I think) and the clear blue guns? That's going for $200??? (He assumes you're talking about that one and not the/a plastic Takara reissue and/or Hasbro original)
Anyhow, I like the gold lion head, and the gold-looking Headstrong body is neat too. I picked up the Takara reissue set a few years back, so I'm good on Predaking for the present time, but if I had the funds, I might try for this one. All told, for me it's the same as the Seacon reissue. If I had the money, I'd order them. But I have them, so I don't feel too bad about not being able to order them. But, I'm very, very happy to see them both being re-released.

Now why would I want a plastic KO? Of course I was asking about the all plastic variety. Just for the record:
1) Predaking was originally released with die-cast metal pieces, but those were soon phased out, similarly to other figures in 1986.
2) Japan only had the all-plastic version, but the reissue still had die cast metal parts.

Well, outside of the fact that I was just asking for to clarify my own confusion, I seem to remember that when that KO came out there was a small amount of buzz on the boards about it. I also had thought about getting one of those myself when they were on eBay, but thought they were too expensive. So, in my feeble minded confusion, I apparently thought that perhaps that white plastic KO may have increased in value. Oh, silly me! I sure feel stupid for asking.
I know. I had a few of the metal ones in the 80s, and I currently own the Takara reiusse with die cast. Again, my apologies for asking.

I'm glad that I got this guy years ago, but I never let him out of the box, so if I had the money to spare I would pick up another one, but I don't.
As for the shiny, it's to blind all of his prey.
Crazy Dev planed their release at the right time.

How much was Predaking when he was released a few years ago? I remember him being expensive, but not this expensive.
I realize Piranacon isn't Predaking's equal, but I don't think this justifies Predaking costing 3 times as much.

You have to keep in mind that Piranacon, by today's standards, consists of 5 Scout-sized toys and 1 Deluxe. Predaking on the other hand is slightly bigger, 5 Deluxes altogether. With 2 Scouts making a Deluxe (roughly) Piranacon is still a Deluxe and a Scout short of Predaking. Add the metal and his popularity, and there's the difference in price.
Price-wise we do get jipped in Europe. I've seen the original reissue (oxymoron anyone?) sell for around the €200 or $250 mark in import stores.

Best deal I found on the last reissue was 165$ or so
So 5 yrs later and only $15 more bucks? I won't miss out on Predacons again.
That's why I don't understand why everyone is complaining about price?
They were 15$ a piece figures when they came out originally so like all the other reissues they are $30 figures now.
$30 * 5figures = 180$
It could be worse, we could never get a complete new in box Predaking ever.

$165? As in dollars? Now way. New in the box they sell for $300-500 on Ebay, opened but mint in box around $250-$350. 100% complete Vintage out of box goes for around $180-$250

Yes, every member of Predaking has significant die-cast molding.
Also, each one is between the size of a modern deluxe and voyager. Predaking is very large.

I can't believe BBTS has already sold 568 Predaking's well I guess I can but damn the preorder is going fast.
Also, what is the deal with TFSource, they always seem to be slow at putting up their pre-orders? I'm hoping to be able to order both the Predaking head with Predaking so I don't have to pay for either item till both arrive unlike BBTS where you have to pay once every individual item arrives even though the way BBTS does it is more common.

I'm really, really glad Predaking is back on the market. It's an absolutely wonderful piece of engineering, and it just looks frackin' cool. I'll be waiting to see if there are any differences between this and the last reissue Takara did - if it really is updated I might have to consider. For now though, I'll just be glad I got in when I did.

I've always heard that they wholesale from BBTS, so they have to wait until their shipments come in, but that was a while ago, so I've no idea why they're so delayed anymore.
I emailed Kurt about the IP TRNS figure and he said they are getting it, but they've not firmed up the details yet.
So, yeah, their preorders seem to be rather slow.

Seeing him more clearly, I am alternately relieved and disappointed. I expected the Animated style of sheen that Takara Tomy has been doing. This matte shine I don't care for. Not that I needed another Predaking.

They released Brave Maxiumus (repaint of Fort Max from Car Robots) & Gigastorm (Trypticon retool from BW II) about 10 yrs ago. BM went for $100, if memory serves. I ordered him right away, only to watch his price fall. I thought the same would apply to Predaking, but nope.

They released Brave Maxiumus (repaint of Fort Max from Car Robots) & Gigastorm (Trypticon retool from BW II) about 10 yrs ago. BM went for $100, if memory serves. I ordered him right away, only to watch his price fall. I thought the same would apply to Predaking, but nope.

Just preordered it. This is by far the most I've ever spent on a "single" figure (Brave Maxiumus cost me $100). I hope I don't regret it. Damn Hasbro for not releasing it here (although the Soundwave set went out before I heard about them).

It's true that they have been reissued. But he said with diecast. Neither of those molds have ever featured diecast content. Hence the reason we say never.

Thank you. I can read. That wasn't the point of my post. I never made a claim that either Brave Maximus or Gigastorm were diecast.

I've never owned a Predaking so this seems like the logical time to pick this up. Now'll just have to find a place to put him-or store him until I do.
I wonder if Crazy Devy will develop updated shiny parts for this release-I assume so.

Well I really didn't mean Diecast, I ment how they did with the Reissue Metroplex's thighs and the rubber wheels. Sorry for the Confusion, I just couldn't remember if they were Diecast or not till I looked at my reissue Metroplex

I just pre-ordered my Predaking from a big online toy store here in Japan at $150 shipped so I'm a happy guy right now!
I'm so happy right now that I passed up the chance to get one of the boxed reissues from 2000 which I found for $200+ last year in one of Tokyo's legendary toy shops.
Can't wait until the big guy gets delivered
