New images have surfaced on This On-Line Store featuring Predaking for pre-order with a ship date of November 27, 2010. Not only does it contain an image of the Gestalt that we've reported many times before, though this time in a studio photoshoot, it contains images of each of the seperate Predacons. Check out the site here.

Looks fantastic!

I already pre-ordered him for $150 shipped from an online store here in Japan and can't believe I'm going to have to wait 4 months to finally get my hands on an MISB Predaking.

Then only non-badass thing about him is that sword - would be ok for a regular gestalt but not PK.

Somehow, i think this one will be all plastic and probably will suffer from GPS

Dude, I give it 3 months, and CrazyDevy will have you a 40 dollar sword, though by then they meay have increased their prices, so it could be 50. Don't worry though, They'll give you what you want.

Well, I don't think there is anything new or appealing enough for me to warrent another purchase of this guy. No point in getting another one since I already have the last reissue. Instead, I'll put money towards PK's power parts from CrazyDevy.

Looks like the pre-order price over at BBTS jumped up by $20 as well! I'll hold the order for now, incase they do show that there are new parts later.

The gold and metallic paint do look good even though I'm not too much a fan of change especially when it come to reissue.

I got the 2004 reissue and is opened. This week, I just spent $475 for an "AFA 85 2004 Predaking" knowing there's another Predaking reissue coming. I don't know if I over paid or should've purchased this newer Predaking reissue. What do you think?

You keeping the appraised piece for display, resale or bragging rights?

"Official Images of Predaking and his Parts "
hehehehehehehehehehehehe...

Seriously, though kinda digging the gold. Hardly an important point being that I'll never have the money to get one, but very cool nonetheless.

-When I purchased it, it was mainly for resale or future investment.
-Display? I wish, I don't have the space to showcase both the loose Predaking and the AFA. The AFA, once I get it by this Friday, it will be tucked away inside my closet.
-Bragging rights? I wish that too. Instead, I'm the only person in my street that collect Transformers. Or maybe the only person from the Bronx, NY that collect TF. I got no one to brag to, heheeh. I'll be lucky if they don't think that I'm some sort of weirdo, collecting kid toys, heehe.

I "invested" in the re-issue Predaking giftset "D-78" a couple of years ago. That still looks better than the gold plated thingie on this one.

However he is still the best G1 gestalt be a long shot!

I definitely prefer the gold to the G1 bright yellow. Looks way better.

I can't wait to get my hands on this guy! :CON:

Oddly enough I really like the recolor. It's gone from definite pass (I still have my original from when I was a kid) to a maybe if I have the $$$.
