I know Predaking was kinda of neat, in fact i bought the reissue and still have it sealed. This person on Ebay has one for auction and the price is unbelievable and it has the bidders names secret (which I still cannot figure out how to do) :???:

I would sell mine right this moment if I could get this much money

Check it out here on Ebay:

Huh? You can easily find this set for $225 or less. I bought one last year (never had the original) and was highly disappointed. Wings flop all over the place and it's so top heavy that Predaking is always leaning forward. Not mentionning that the individual toys are not very good. Oh well.

I checked out other Predaking's on Ebay and they don't even come close to this price. I think he's just playin games :-?

Yeah that price is nuts. I've seen the reissue in mint condition up to $350 but rarely over that.

$690 is a bit steep yes, even with the die cast metal. Stick to $200, tops.

his sole selling point was that it was the "rarer HTF diecast version"

correct me if i'm wrong but weren't all the predaking reissues diecast...

of course even then it wasn't a great deal.

594 posts and almost a year...and my first double post

690 bucks is outragious. That seller is just lucky. Not many ending that lucky I assure you. I've seen him go close for 200, over 200 or a bit less than 200 on most auctions. He might be released again a year or two from now. I got a Predaking set too back in December 2004 from Digital Toys. I wouldn't even think about selling it.

That use to happen to me at first. You have to lock it up with one of Razorclaw's upper red foot part on either rounded lower sides part of Divebomb's wing booster. While the other red leg - foot of Razorclaw holds the real bottom below of the booster pack. That way the wings don't flop. My issue some of the metal parts of all predacons came with a bit of paint chipping ,and Divebomb's arm doesn't hold well. Also when I rotate both of Predaking's arms they fall off.

I got mine at $160 a few years ago. That auction looks like a bidding war that got out of hand. I could get 3-4 Predakings for that price.

I've learned that hiding bidders names is something E-Bay does automatically once the current bid goes over a certain amount. They only started doing it a month or so ago.
