I am looking at completing my predaking for display, I am not after individual swords or guns but the other parts to form predaking -

Currently I have Rampage,headstrong & tantrum (figures only)

I am hunting down the necessary accessories -

Head
Fists
Foot - Just waiting on 1Orion to come thru with the goods and before you know it I will be posting a pic of my new Predaking

& remaining figures -----

Divebomb with wings

Razorclaw


any help is appreciated as im affraid ebay prices for parts singularly are just a little too insane

plz find the attached picture as a sweetener to help release the parts i need..

have you thought about the reissue?

indeed Higsy, it would be more cheaper I believe to buy out the reissue Predaking with golden hue instead of Yellow, you get the complete set already in about oh $180 - 200 while if you try to get the remaining figures plus the accessories you'd reach the same maybe more by piecemeal.

Piecemeal is always very expensive. If you don't mind what release you get, the reissues are the way to go.

If you want vintage only, then piecemeal is the way but don't expect to pay cheap or for it to be a smooth ride.

Yeah, I'd recommend just getting the reissue. :) The Predaking reissue is very nicely done too - virtually identical to the original and doesn't suffer from any QA issues like say Encore Bruticus and Devastator (the difference between Takara and TakaraTOMY?).

Can't speak for the 2010 "gold" reissue though - but if you're after a G1-accurate reissue then go for the original 2004 set. The Preds are all die-cast metal too! :D

That would be great if you could help me out with a limb or 2...

im trying to stay away from buying a re-issue as all of my figures are original g1

so patience will be my best friend i guess...

If that's how you want to go thats fair enough:) I can understand wanting vintage metal. I have a spare head and at least one fist. I'll track em down.
