Thanks for the heads up! I got an extra two, to bring my total up to six (the number we actually see on the Death Star). I'm glad to put this mad scramble behind me without having to go too far above retail price.

I'm just wondering if the conflict is going to come from within (i.e. Sith plot) or without (i.e. invasion by some new enemy).

Did anyone order these from Nerd Rage?

I'm going to just be excited about this, since I'm expecting more than what we got in the Prequels.

But if they bring the ******* Yuzhan Vong into this, I will choke Lucas.

Well now there's a flooded subway tunnel in between me and the only two Kmarts in my area (though I'm thankful that this is the only problem I'm facing from the hurricane). I really hope these become available online.

They're 7" scale, but since they're huge characters, the figures stand about 9.5" tall...awesome. I want to pick up the flight suit engineer.

Sweet deals you got there! 

As for the helmet, the P2 guy, or "Pussyface", as he called in the fan forums, definitely has his mask off longer. It's actually off for the whole final battle. But since I have a few Predators with no mask (Elder, Lost, Shaman), I opted to get the masked versions of both "main" Preds.

I bought the TRU 2-pack (still available at some stores) and sold the half-cloaked Berserker. I have to say, I love the masked P-face Predator, mainly because I had this poster hanging in my room for pretty much my whole teen years, and that shows him masked and holding the spear. The 2-pack also includes a skull/spine and a Predator skull. I didn't collect the Rodriguez Predators movie figures, but I liked the Predator skull accessory.

It would be ideal if NECA would give us both heads and have them be interchangeable, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Oh yeah, these are just, plain awesome. I've picked up pretty much all of them (the ones from Predator and Predator 2, not the other movies), and I love them. I only passed on two of them: Snake and Stalker. Snake just didn't really get me as amped up as the other ones, and Stalker is too similar to Boar. They're both very cool, and I may circle back and pick them up eventually, but for now I'm happy owning all the rest of them.

I really want them to revisit Elder and Classic (or as he's called on the AVP boards "Anytime") with the upgraded articulation.

While we're on the topic, have you seen the shots for the upcoming Dutch figures? They'll apparently feature the same articulation, which is awesome. Now if we could just get a Jesse Ventura with a gatling gun...
