I can't really believe I'm the first here to get one of these but I couldn't see any other threads, so here goes. 
Apologies if the photos aren't up to RPF standard but I wanted to get them done and posted ASAP.
Ordered from Propstore yesterday, arrived today!
Nice packaging...
Well protected...
And here it is!
"That's a very nice gun."
The batteries go into the butt end, which is covered by a removeable panel held on by magnets! Very simple, very nice.
Batteries were included (ready-installed) but you did have to pull out the little protective plastic tag. That's all!
The 'on button' is in the centre of the silver disc on the left hand side. Press on, press off. When powered up, the red LED on the front comes on and stays on, and the LED digit counter comes on - showing '999'.
Each time you pull the trigger (a good solid action by the way), the LED counts down by 1.
You can see that the barrel is open - thankfully no orange plugs here - in fact it's hollow for a long way back.
Here is the display base.
Some assembly required - you have to insert this clear plastic 'U' cradle yourself. :lol
How is that going to support the gun? The flat part of the base has a recess which accepts the butt. It's a perfect fit and is felt-lined.
The lower part of the front end sits on the 'U' cradle, which straddles the thin silver bar without touching it.
The name plaque is integral with the base. The edition number appears to have been put on by hand, in silver pen. :cool
As I was putting the gun on the base for the first time, I was thinking "Oh no, they put the wording on the wrong side so I can't display it with the LEDs facing me." Wrong! The name plate is repeated identically on both sides, so you can have it whichever way you desire.
My wife and I are both really impressed. This piece is gorgeous! A lot of thought and care has gone into the design and construction. The finish is excellent and it has a nice weight to it.
It's going on display with my Matt Munson multipass. I think HCG have made an excellent start. I just hope they keep up the good work and don't let standards slip. If they put out more props this good, I'll be a happy customer.
