At this price, there's a chance it could sell out, so if you're on the fence, the time to act is now.

Here's what matt had to say:

I love Seibertron and have been coming here for many years - but as awesome as it is to see the news and time frame for new figures - NOTHING beats news of a deal this good on such an awesome figure.

Thank you!

I emailed the news crew with this story over an hour ago, but it looks like Matt must have emailed them earlier than I did!

Snagged mine. I figure that this is an unbeatable price....correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the individual Predacons were around $15 in 1986. Today, they would cost around $100 brand new, in 2013 money. This sale is like getting them half off in the 80s!

Crap, I have some holiday shipping to do and I'm waiting for the new Deluxes to come in from BBTS or I would jump on these, then again I have the first Takara reissue.

That is insane! One of the few times I wish I didn't have the Takara version only so I could take advantage of such a good deal. Oh well, I've been enjoying mine for a couple years now so I've had my money's worth.

Awesome news for anyone looking to get this still and I highly recommend it to those on the fence.

I was thinking the same thing ... until I found out Predaking comes with an extra sword. A goldish/brown colored version of Beast Hunters Optimus Prime's sword comes with this set. That was all I needed to know to sell me on this set. I just found out a few weeks ago that it came with this. Glad I waited for once to get a figure.

This is likely a clearance/inventory blow out and the last time it will be available at or under retail. Just a theory.

At any rate - big thanks for the heads up!

Ive bought one. I hope the box is in good condition when it arrives. Was on the fence but at that price you'd be daft not to

Grabbed one for my son at that price! And they are gone, price went up to $129.

Where was this 2 years ago when I bought a vintage G1 Predaking for $125 and spent another $100 on swords/guns ??? :-(

F**k it, I guess I got a good deal at the time. Feral Rex is coming !

Hopefully as many people got it as possible. That was just a crazy good price.

This is not True. it is only that price if you apply for and get a credit card.

Shows $79.99 as of (8:30am MNT). If I apply for a CC they'll take $20.00. Another missed opportunity for me, I guess.

^^ It was true, the deal's just over.

I was waiting for this kind of deal for this toy. Jumped on it last night. Can't wait to get it, $50 for a G1 Predaking is unfathomably cheap, I mean, that's gotta be less than 1980's retail. The new deco and new accessory helps too, I can put it on my ehobby/etc shelf.

That's the price I was waiting for, but I missed the opportunity. I'm still hopeful it will end up at that same price on BBTS eventually.

I ordered mine this morning around 6:00am and it went thru at $49.99 without any kind of CC application.

It bounced from 49.99 back up to 79.99 about 5 hours ago :-(

Awesome price. I also had a $10 giftcard for Amazon so I got it for $39.99. It's going to be great having G1 Predaking on my shelf for much less than I ever expected to pay for it.

I remember paying a whole lot more for Predaking. But at that price- REVEL IN HIS GLORY WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

I ordered it at $49 no problems at 8:30 am est, about 20 minutes later it showed $129 from 3rd party.

$79.99 is still a good deal.

That was his black friday/lightning deal price as opposed to $120 msrp.

$49.99 was awesome deal, but you're right the $79.99 is still a great deal.

Good news for those who did not get it when it was over $100 this is why now I don't preorder my tf figures like before, they all go on clearance any way.... :twisted:

canceling more preorder right now.

Opened mine up and I was shocked to realize that the peghole for Predaking's right arm (Rampage) is too wide and thus cannot create a secure connection. Thankfully Amazon has a great return/exchange policy and I was fortunate enough to secure another Predaking. Now I hope that this one doesn't have the same issue.

Anyone else experience anything similar with this iteration of the mold?
