Yes, TRU had them for $19.99, but then they raised that to $22.99. You and me got ours like 2 weeks earlier than anyone else and before the price increase.

Just want to warn everyone:

Took the day off today to recover from a cold, and got my second set of FSS wave 1 figures in the mail- looks like they're not doing their super-duper-awesome shipping boxes on these!!!

They came together in a large 12"x15" Priority mail box that looks like a fat guy sat on it. I can't post pics at the moment but I sent them to Beam and mike000, so they can vouch for me. Inside the box they were sliding around wrapped in thin tissue paper. Dice was ok but the top of Jinx's card was bent at a 45 degree angle! Luckily for me, I anticipated this occurrence and waited to open my original set, who are mint. I've been doing this since the 25th was released to ensure the double stays on a decent card.

Just a heads up for anyone like me who might be interested in a carded set to go with their loose set... Don't open the subscription shipment until you get your second set!

Hey, does anyone have a complete list of all the neca predator and alien toys they have made so far? I'm just trying to figure out all the exclusive figures they made.

EDIT: Hmm..I found this list for the Predators. It sound like it's complete, save for the Requiem line.

No wonder you can't go to Joecon... 2 Subs, I thought you passed on that..guess not.

Predators (Neca) Action Figure Checklist

Got your PM I do collect Predators and so does Air-Tight. AS for a list I'm not sure of all their names.. Plus I never collected the Mcfarlene stuff just the Neca Predators.

You didn't miss much with the Mcfarlane toys. They were good for their time, but they lacked in articulation and some suffered from quality control issues (swapped Resurrection alien's forearms) or had stuck joint issues (much from AVP). The only figure I had a problem with was my AVP Celtic Predator (the only AVP figure I own). All of his joints were super stuck. To this day, even after trying the hot water trick, some of his joints are still stuck, like his ankles.

Hopefully NECA will do AVP after they're sone with Predator 1.

Saw viper looks like a deranged Easter bunny...lol

Love the SAW Viper design but the color is terrible. I know it's an ME version of the original but the original color is awful too. These guys are straight out of a Joel Schumacher Batman movie with all those bright colors.

Crimson Asp is an interesting figure. Put a new head on it and Hasbro can have a new Madame Hydra/Viper figure.
