The Predator 2 ship or Aliens lab would be way too big and expensive for too little guaranteed sales. Even the trophy wall set didn't sell that greatly and Freddy's furnace was underwhelming. Diorama sets are a cool idea but way too few consumers actually care enough to make them a worthwhile investment from a production point of view, especially in this scale where even a small set is still quite large.

The latest from Randy (and this is only what I recall) is that they're proceeding with the pillar set. I'll certainly snap it up so long as it isn't stupidly priced.

I have the trophy wall, it's insanely heavy relative to what it could have gotten away with. It's a similar problem with the Predator Blade Fighter I've got, it's massive! I totally understand their ethos of quality to price ratio, but those two sets alone were incredibly ornate relative to consumer interest.

Even generic sets could be something to consider, or at least something collectors outside of their main lines could use - a jungle scene, sewer, rooftop, whatever. I do appreciate it all requires quite a monetary leap in the dark.
