There's no way to pay $99.99 for this vehicle...
I would like to have it to use with 3.75" scale Marvel Universe Skrulls. Sometimes vehicles meant for a larger line can work a treat with a smaller line. Not sure if they fit even, and I couldn't afford it on my toy budget anyway..... a boy can dream though!
The good people at NECA are dreaming if they think this thing is still worth $100 (assuming it isn't a BBTS price hike) after they decided not to include the pilot.
Packaging and Instructions Preview for Predator Blade Fighter Vehicle by NECA - The Toyark - News

How can you really say that it looks brittle and break-pone without seeing it in person? NECA has pulled off the look of decay but kept the sturdiness of plastic before. That being said this is still too much money for me to drop on a non-character piece. However the packaging is a great dose of nostalgic joy and seeing the full box should be neat.
I hate how they keep trying to convince us on the price by saying "Over 2 feet long", it is, but a foot of that is the blade on the front end. I really wanted a couple of these Pred Bikes when they got announced (I was not even going to attach the blade to them) just to make some custom hover bikes, but that price is just too much. The Trophy wall was 70$ and ED-209 was 60$ . You are telling me I can either get this or an 18inch Gipsy Danger figure for 100$???
I know what one I would choose. (That would be Gipsy :-)

I really like the box and the idea of the toy in general, and I'm a NECA fanboy too. That being said the price on this makes it an easy pass for me, it's almost as much as the Alien Queen yet not nearly as magnificent or glorious of a toy. I don't get many single toys over $50 a year (I budget for other things I like doing too) so if I'm gonna drop close to $100 on a toy the queen easily takes the cake over this. It looks cool and if you're a die hard already have every Predator and can't get enough of the Kenner themed figures then I hope you can catch a sale on this. At least it's wall-mountable to save shelf space, at least I seem to recall that from somewhere.
You're all forgetting that at $100 this thing will probably languish on the shelves until we can all buy one on clearance for $20. That's how I can as able to afford ED-209.
100?? Crayness, but to each his own
