OK I can't decide whether to get the M-3 Predator replica pistol or the Reaper statue.

I can get the predator pistol for around ?250 including shipping from ebay but will have to import it from the USA which could get expensive. But it is available now.

I can pre order the reaper statue for ?199 and I wont have to import it, but it's not released until the end of June which is somewhat unappealing.

Please vote in the poll to help me decide, or alternately suggest some other things for around the same price. (Mass Effect items only)

The pistol, since if you end up wanting the Reaper statue and have 200 to spare in June, you could still get it, since Forbiddenplanet don't take payment up front xx

Comparing both items the reaper replica is way more iconic, the M-3 is a no name gun compared to the carnifex or other high level handguns in the game.

But do what vhal said, if they don't take payment upfront go ahead and pre order the replica and buy the gun.

Personally I would go for the gun now as the Reaper is available later. however you MUST get the Reaper as it is the more iconic item as said above. If you can't afford the reaper, sell the gun! :P Best of both worlds! lol

OK I got the M3 predator replica for ?236.51 including postage after a little haggling with the seller. I asked if he/she could mark it as a gift, hopefully that will be OK with them. If not I'll probably get stung 20% VAT plus charges :(
