District 9 : Assault rifle

Finally cracked and purchased the AR, recieved #101/300. SUCKS that it arrived damaged:( small 3/4 inch crack on right side of the rifle above the trigger. Very nice display Rarest RX you just need the Gas Projector somewhere on that wall to complete the trio.

Have you contacted WETA to file a claim?

No way UPS can use their typical BS claim "Insufficient packaging". There's like 5" of foam all away around it.

If they replace it, I'll buy your old one and cut it down into the SMG. :love
 
Have to say it does look savage! Kicking myself that I had to cancel the pre order. Have to look out for one down the line.

Great pic of the 2 guns and poster btw!

I contacted Weta and need to send them photos of the damage, I was suprised too as the piece is VERY well protected. Thank you for the offer I'll let you know but I think Weta will be asking me send this back.

Best of luck, the Weta guys seem pretty stand up so I wouldn't be too worried.

It'll work out.
 
JUST to show off what i did with my District 9 the guns and john and son

Any opinions on how to mount the wall brackets most safely? the screws and anchors that were included don't seem the most sturdy options, considering the weight of the gun. I figured I'd go with some bigger screws straight into studs, provided I can space it out properly.
 
I got bigger screws for the AR gun i didnt like all that weight at the front of the gun. but the AG was ok
 
@Weta: Can you already give an estimate, when shipments will start from the UK warehouse? All these great pictures don't make waiting easier! :D

I got my AR last month, had to sell most of my 25th Gi Joe collection to get the Assault Rifle, wish I sold them last year to get the Arc Generator instead. Well worth it, and these joes were just sitting in storage, rather give them a home where people could enjoy them. Also used the Weta dollars for the D9 book. Book is so damn amazing, must have.

But I finally got around to mount the rifle last week. I actually bought a 4 pack of screws with those metal brackets at Walmart for about $2.00.
I suck so much at home improvement stuff I nearly drilled the first metal anchor through the sheetrock and was useless cause it was all loose. Luckly I had a extra metal anchor I found through out my house.

The last two anchors for the front of the gun, came out perfect, solid fit, the first two anchors for the rear of the, aren't so solid, but sill hold up.

I used the white stencil graph from the D9 book and a black cardboard sheet from walmart for the back, to hang next the gun, I think it looks great.

But the Assault Rifle is a the most awesomeness gun in the universe, the hell with Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, weapons. D9 is the coolest!!!

Make sure to take video, he's going freak out!

It really is a great piece, don't tell anyone, but I've been pulling the AR off the wall more than the AG.

I think it's because of the ergos, it "feels" more like a rifle than the AG.
 
wow I'm really surprised that these still haven't sold out. It really doesn't give me much hope that more D9 guns will be produced, but we can hope!
