Re: District 9 : Assault rifle - miniature
I expect this to be a very high quality miniature from Weta, but I would much prefer the full size replica!!
I really hope it gets made.

It's made of solid metal too, I just noticed. Weren't the originals were cast out of resin, so in a way these are more real than the real thing....but less film accurate :confused

Re: District 9 : Assault rifle - miniature
Guys, I don't think anything has been canceled. I'm pretty sure the full-sized piece that many of us pre-ordered is still going to be a release in Q3 ( I HOPE so, otherwise they will be receiving a very nasty letter from me). I think that seeing as how the full-sized piece sold out so quickly this is an opportunity for others to still get the gun, though not 1/1.
Hopefully Weta will chime in and enlighten us.

The 2 full sized guns are not the same as this gun. This one hasn't been offered full size yet.
They are the Arc and Gas Guns. This is the Assault gun that Christopher used.

Re: District 9 : Assault rifle - miniature
Ahhhhhhh...you're right. I was getting this one mixed up with the Arc gun.
Nevermind. I'm an idiot.
Nothing to see here, folks.
Go on.
GO!

Hmm, estimated delivery on the first two full size weapons has been pushed back from Q2 to Q3.
So it begins...

Re: District 9 : Assault rifle - miniature
Well that sure explains the preview on the postcards, mystery solved...although stoked, i am disappointed.
Disappointed as i thought it was going to be full 1:1 scale as the other two are, but also stoked, as i couldn't possibly justify ordering another at full scale prices, however at this, i can justify especially as there will be nothing to pay until Q4.
I'm thinking at an edition size of 750, and judging that the arc generator sold out in 4 days, this may sell out sooner than we think, as it's an affordable D9 replica - Pre-order soon kids, they won't be around for long!!

Re: District 9 : Assault rifle - miniature
WHAT!?! I am sick and tired of buying stuff and having to wait months for it. Technically, not in this case, but cmon', either deliver when you say you will or make the things first and then put them up for sale.
On a related note, I'm going to Wonderfest this year. Last year was when the pulse rifle prototype was unveiled. That's a year and still no pulse rifle.

Re: District 9 : Assault rifle - miniature
As franz bolo already confirmed, they haven't made this in 1:1 scale.
This is the Assault Rifle in 1:4 scale. Weta previously released Arc Generator and Gas Projector in 1:1 scale.

In the above thread poll, the Assault Rifle which was marked as "06 - AMR-B05 " got the highest vote after the Fluid Canister and Art of District 9 book.
