I may curse myself later for doing this, but I’m going to skip the eBay/ amazon routes for getting these. The shipping is way too high per figure to make it worth it and NECA for some reason doesn’t combine shipping.

I know in a week or two there will be much more affordable routes to obtain these.

This is definitely the best series of Predators that NECA has put out... I know Machiko is going to sell out like hot cakes. I’m on s quest to get the whole series and a couple extra Machiko’s if possible.

If you put the figures in your cart, they do combine the shipping. Sort of. It's still expensive, but not $11 each expensive.

Shit, I lucked out. Amok Time has these in-stock at their retail store already (occasionally they get NECA releases really fast). I'm driving on over there tomorrow and grab Machiko and Hornhead...maybe Broken Tusk as well, depending on how he looks in-hand. From the pics I've seen his design looks a little too busy for me.

Wow, $11 shipping!!! That's insane! Even Amazon Prime has been disabled for this item. Basically full price + nutty shipping...no thanks! I'll take my chances in local stores and on Ebay from random people.

True, but it still comes out to over $90 for all three on Ebay... and the price jumps ridiculously with each additional figure in your cart. No one should have to pay more than $75 for all three and even that’s asking a bit too much.

It sad... I can remember the days when an entire Predator series would run you just over $50 even after shipping and you could find Ultimate figures as low as $19 at most online retailers and even cheaper if you found them in store.

I cringe at the thought that one day standard release Predators will cost around $30 a pop and Ultimate figures will start creeping into the $40 range.

Not feeling Machiko as much as I hoped and expected, but Broken Tusk looks awesome.
