How would a limited edition cost to much? It'll just be a limited supply of figures that will be sold out in the public, plus these new predators compared to the original one with the lame swivels just make them look so obsolete. I'm happy with what I got and im happy with what NECA is doing. And no one is complaining here, we are just spreading our ideas and opinions of what we as consumers would like to have. So before you post comments saying were complaining and unsatisfied really look and read what we are saying instead of making assumptions.
Sorry if i was too harsh with you. Thats not my intention
But i read all replies from NECA's twitter everyday, and people keep asking this. And Randy already explained many times. Making a new figure, doesnt matter if is a limited edition or a regular edition, costs the same. Understand?
Doest matter if you make 10 figures or 1000 figures, the costs are the same. You have to spend money (and time) with the sculptors, the molds for the factories, the prototypes, tooling the machines for production... everything is the same!
Thats why the "exclusives" figures are just a regular figure (already made) only with a different head or paintjob.

Its about fixing a mistake,
But that's no mistakes here, mate.
The figures are perfect the way they are.
They're not broken, understand?
If NECA release the AVP predators with a new/amazing/improved/awesome new articulation, you will say the Lost Predators were a mistake too? They would have to make all of them again?

When Chevy or Toyota have to recall automobiles, they dont say we should just deal with it cuz its too expensive to fix and just appreciate that we have something to drive!!
But if the figures are broken, you can just ask NECA for a new one. And, like Chevy or Toyota, they will fix that for you.
In this case, figures arent broken. That's nothing to fix here.

That is a crazy argument. We should just be thankful we have predator figures at all?!!
Well, no... but if they wanted, they could keep the low-articulation-type-figure (like Wolf and the mcfarlane ones) and charge the same amount of money. And people would still buy it.
You already saw the price of the Mcfarlane figures (with almost no articulation and no movie accuracy) at ebay?
This guy only have ball-jointed neck and shoulders, and standard swivels at the elbows, wrists, waist, hips and ankles.
Not even a knee articulation
Yep, i think people would still buy predators from NECA even if they were statues.
But, no... they are improving the figures in every series... that's why we should be thankful
