I just got back from GameStop and they had the full set of Alien vs Preditor. I didn't have cash on me at the time so they are holding for me:
ELDER PREDATOR
CELTIC PREDATOR
GRID ALIEN
I would have got them all (set of 5) but due to my limited amount of room I just chose of what I thought were the best 3 (besides they all kinda look alike). Pics are on Spawn.com for those who haven't seen them yet.

I hear they are very poorly made and fall apart.... Not sure if it was just some of the reviews i was reading or not.

The Alien series 2, the one with the egg stand constantly falls over because the limb joint is way too loose. It's a pain in the ass because if it just gets tapped it will bend over. I hope it's not like that.  js |

I also found this set at Gamestop, but still can't decide whether to buy:
Scar Predator or Celtic Predator?
Perhaps a member could assist me in this choice?

Scar is with a mask that looks like the old preditor masks, but the Celtic one has a way cooler mask so I chose that. On the McFarlane site it says there are plans to make Scar without a mask so I will get that when I see it. Also, the elder Preditor rules. The hair has a cool color and it has a cape. JS |

I got all 3 at my GS. The Scar one I think keeps friggin falling over. That's the only problem I have had. Cool figures though. I didn't buy any of the Aliens.

JS Aha, thank you sir. At first look, I didn't notice. The difference seemed subtle, but upon further inspection it appears as though you are quite correct. I may be leaning toward the Celtic version. |

This is the same problem I have with the Alien series 2. The limbs are so damn loose. Eh, I may have to invest in superglue because I do not want to mess with another figure for an hour just to get it to stand up without falling every minute. JS |

Me and Pat (Maladroit) were looking at them, they're sweet-looking..
I would get one of Predator and one of Alien.. Just to show them off, maybe they're coming out with Alien vs Predator Boxset just like Freddy vs Jason..
That would be sweet.

My biggest regret of figures is not grabbing that when I saw it. |

Oh yeah, I got an Alien and Predator from the series before this, the Alien definitely doesn't stand, he just kind of leans against the back of my display case. ;D
Damn feeble legs.
