The joys of living in an apartment: postal service left a notice without even bothering to knock on my door.

Well a regular occurrence in this busines. No surprises there where people work 365 for a minimum wage. I always pray things don't get wrecked in the process though...
 
#100 signing in. This thing is the balls.

I had no choice but to hit mine with a blow-dryer on account of one dread being bent inward during shipping. A couple of the backpack wires also came unglued, they're either resin or hard plastic so not much give. Backpack is a touch loose, I've heard a few others report the same thing. Other than that, I'm extremely happy with this. Alien and Predator fans are breathing rare air these days.

Very excited for the City Hunter bust -- and even more gutted that Berserker's not getting one. This is such a great format for these characters. Johnny Matsumoto said they're planning full Alien statues in this scale and I can't help but wonder what the head stand/bust situation will be for those (or will Prime 1 simply make interchangeable mouths/faces and risk seams?)

The portrait here is admittedly quite large, but surprisingly it hasn't made me dread receiving the full statue. Though I'm quite aware of how massive it will be (I'll have to rent a truck to pick it up), it promises to be so well-done that I can't help but think "bring it on." If these are the only collectibles I'm left with in the end, so be it. They're that good.

Looks like it jumped right off the screen and into your room. Looks incredible! :clap
 
That's one ugly mother... you know the rest! I'll put it together tomorrow. How can this thing be ugly and beautiful all at the same time?
It's definitely an overpriced home run by Prime1

Well I gotta say this bust is absolutely awesome. All the finer details are there, the armor has a very subtle green wash that I'm sure someone will say is accurate.The medkit is a cool little accessory and looks good out in front, and the size and weight of this thing is definitely a bit shocking! This was a great option over the full statue which I have no room for, and I'm feeling pretty stoked to have got one.

It’s really great isn’t it. Did you find the caster/cannon and Medikit assembly had a little bit of play once you put it on? I did but was able to fix it somewhat
I did actually. Had to place the should stuff on first before the head for it to fit better. Didn't have this problem with the Battle damaged bust weirdly..

My torso seems to have an odd head peg also... the heads are a nightmare to try get to sit flush, regardless of which head I use on it. Again, this problem doesn't exist on the Battle damaged bust.
 
Battle Damaged bust #42/100 checking in. I totally hesitated on getting this due to Prime 1 prices. Caved in, in the end and found this battle damaged version for retail price, I waited too long to get the closed mouth at RRP so I jumped on this. I had to have at least one Predator piece in the Aliens collection, and glad I got this one, in the end!

Very happy for you, I remember how much you were after one. Almost goes without saying but you won't be disappointed. Pics when he arrives please
