Loose G1 Predaking (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Vintage-Transformers-Predaking_W0QQitemZ300249837290QQihZ020QQcategoryZ 4696QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Loose G1 Predaking (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Transformers-G1-Decepticon-Predaking-100-Complete_W0QQitemZ250280007661QQihZ015QQcategoryZ4 696QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZ p1638Q2em122) (apparently the rare die-cast metal variant too)

Loose mint in box reissue Predaking (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Transformers-G1-Takara-reissue-Predacons-Predaking-UK_W0QQitemZ190242743657QQihZ009QQcategoryZ4696QQr dZ1QQssPageNameZWD2VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q 2em122) (the reissue is die-cast metal)

I don't recommend this one, but check it out (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Transformers-G1-Predaking-complete-with-accessories_W0QQitemZ120295109651QQihZ002QQcategor yZ4696QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) - apparently two of the Predacons are metal variants whilst the others are the standard plastic versions, but you can see that a lot of the accessories are KOs (the description confirms this too) yet the guy is asking for at least US$254.99 for it!! Now especially considering that this toy was reissued four years ago, I think that's a rip! 8o

Damm 2 of them are finished, the first one though isn't. What is wrong with divebomb?

Here's another (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5336043815&toolid=10001&customid=&ext=160273379853&item=160273379853), but it's over 300 shipped. Make him a private offer for USD300 shipped.

What is wrong with divebomb?
There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with Divebomb to me. Divebomb forms the left arm of Predaking but his "backpack" (w/ wings) detaches to form the wings for Predaking. That person has left Divebomb's wing-backpack detached for some reason, but it's not broken or anything. :) This is what gestalts were like before Lio Kaiser. :D (although other gestalts in the same year and after didn't follow suit in terms of being self-contained, it didn't become standard until Beast Wars).

Im quite happy with my plastic Predaking. Even in plastic its freakin heavy though! Got it piecemeal. Good luck in your search Soundwarp it'll indeed be a very nice B-day present for yourself.

I actually prefer Headstrong in plastic because metal Headstrong is way too back heavy and is a nightmare to stand in robot mode!

Yah I ended up winning http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190242743657. Shipping was a quoted 20GBP but ended up 50GBP. Its heavy 2600g, so I had to end up taking a figure out and shipping it seperate and only cost me 25GBP. Weird.

Nice one, i have decided to go with a reissue just so i know that it will be tight.

[GoktimusPrime]

I think you'll really like it. :) The reissues are almost completely identical to the originals - the only difference I was able to find (other than copyright stampage of course) is like one really tiny variation with the Predaking head - but you gotta be super-retentive like me to spot it. :p

Cheers dude!
