Transformers Platinum Edition Predaking Set Amazon Lightning Deal Today

Still too expensive, considering the complaints I've heard about it. I'm still holding on to hope that this will end up on clearance for $50 some day, like the recent Piranacon set.

Keep in mind the 102.00 is the currently price, the Lightning Deal later today will probably be even less.

Is this all plastic or diecast?

Oh, my bad! I'm glad you pointed that out. I WILL keep an eye on this, in that case!

It has diecast parts. There's a detailed discussion, comparing it to the original and the reissue, here: original-vs-platinum-edition-predaking-t97231.php

The Prime Star-Saber sword mold looks so out of place with this set.

I was a pass anyway, since I don't collect G1, but I'm glad this gives everyone who's interested an opportunity to pick him up!

BBTS has this for like $90. Just ordered mine

correction: $85 plus shipping

You might wanna hold your horses for exactly 53 minutes and see what the Amazon deal is...

If it's $50 or less I'm going for it. I have the reissue from the earlly 00's so this will be nice

$79.99 for the next three hours.

Maybe...

Maybe not...

Annnnnnd it's $80.

33% off aint bad, but it's not Lightning Deal good, either.

$80 is a good deal, but I can wait.

All gone.

Wow, that was fast. Glad I didn't have my heart set on it!

That was surprisingly fast. I didn't have my heart set on it either, especially with all the problems I've been having with them lately. We should talk Scotty, I show you the recent email I sent them.

Is it just me or have they been funny recently with their pricing? Generations Trailbraker was $12 one day, down to $9 the next, back up and down two more times. Hmmm.

woot! snag one for $79! that went fast ...thanks OP

its always been like that and they never price match unless its tv...

G1 Predaking isnt selling too well because of all the 3rd party Predakings.

It's actually kind of neat - the more I see pics of this reissue, the more I see how cleverly MMC took cues from the original G1 figures. So glad I went with Feral Rex.

I think if it is not selling well it might have more to do with this being what, the third reissue?

I forgot all about it, but $80 was still too much anyway. BBTS eventually had the Piranacon set for $29.99, I believe, and while I don't think Predaking will get that low, I'm still holding out for $49 or $59.

Sure thing man, shoot me a PM. I hope they're not giving you trouble with Voyager Prime, they took mine back no problem.
