Say what you will about the pricing or the availability, when all is put together Predaking looks completely bad ass

My god, why can't they just couple everything together and sell them in combiner sets? Like a Predaking Parts set?

Mkall is right about Crazy Devy Predaking looking amazing with the upgrades. I just saw a video review with all the upgrades (up to this one) and am very tempted to get them.

With all the great third-party products currently placing a significant strain on my wallet, I'm grateful to CrazyDevy for consistently putting out stuff I have absolutely no interest in. :APPLAUSE:

Gundam, how many add-on upgrade parts does this make for Predaking?? With the exception of the recent part for Devy and the Encore itself I'm almost complete. Does anyone have a complete Predaking with all the upgrades or most current?

Share some pics if you can! :VEHI:

Nice addition... just wish I knew when they were complete.

I've got a fully-kitted-out Predaking. But he's still in a storage box until I get back from work

Wow, it does look impressive. I just saw thecollector75's review of the full set excluding the 2 latest ones (the lion mane add-on and arm cannon add-on) and it really looks cool, but then I did some math. I checked BBTS to see if they had all the parts in stock or available for pre-order, and they did. The total cost for all of the upgrades (shipping NOT included) is approximately $261 US. That's more than the beautiful golden Takara reissue cost (before the price dropped), which is what I have.

I'm sorry, I refuse to pay that much for what equates to nothing more than a set of accessories. What FP did for Ultra Magnus with the City Commander set was more impressive and cost a LOT less. There's no way I'm paying that much for these, no matter how good they look.

If later down the road they choose to do an all-inclusive set for a more reasonable price, then I'll reconsider, but as long as these things cost so much and will all incur separate shipping charges, I'm out.

This I have to comment on, this is actually a decent price considering what you get in it, 20 dollars for three quite good parts that aren't just slightly bigger recasts of the original parts.

All these add ons dont improve the individual robots quality. They just convert your Predasking into a non-transforming good looking statue. Leave the vintage figures alone.

by **gothsaurus** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 8:24 am

SUPERB! This is really all we needed... a decent review of the set before we buy it. Bravo. :APPLAUSE:

I just watched the video of Predaking with all the upgrades and i gotta say he looks pretty frakin sweet!!

I totally want all these upgrades but missed my window of opportunity when they came out cause i didn't like the price or didn't care. To see it all together it looks spectacular. But i'm not gonna pay 260-300 bucks for these upgrades.

I display my Predacons uncombined anyways. If this upgrade set does ever get released in a one shot complete set at a reasonable price then i might think about picking it up.

Yeah dude, I hope this is a sign that CrazyDevy is finally reducing the cost on their products.
