There *are* places to do this work domestically, and affordably. It would be a nice marketing tool as well.

I've been saying this forever. You're right on Steve. :thumbsup
It's just that you have to have the right connections with the right production companies.

Yes. I totally agree. More oversight = more QC. Seems cut-and-dried to me.
I would assume since they bowed out of the Ghostbusters license that they do not have it.
It seems they are in the process of getting Licenses lined up
Still would love to see the Ghostbusters stuff done. But it sounds like the cost is so high that at best a kit would be the ideal thing. Unfortunately, you say "kit" to a studio and they think of high number mass produced models kits that mean an incredibly high licensing fee that no one can afford. Seems no prop company can get them past that mentality.
The Star Trek license seems to be wrapped up by QMX at this point, at least with the latest reboot franchise. I think anything ST will hing on how exclusive their contract is. Disney is quite viable. Hope the next batch of nautilusses come out still. I would love to see someone pick up on MiB again. One look at how much the MR MiB stuff is going on eBay now should be a good indicator there is interest in that franchise. Although I know it really comes down to what the current staff likes and can pour their hearts work into.

Doesn't QMx only have the license for studio scale/smaller scale replicas of the ships? If they have the license for props, I URGE them to let us know if they're working on a phaser/other props for us...
I didn't notice any link to RPF two days ago, looks like they have added one now.The mug needs a link.

Great news! I can't wait to see what they have in store - especially if it's 007.
Personally, we have all the talents here in the RPF, why could they (MR) not just do some group project audition where the best talent gets roped in to do the most accurate parts/prop ever. Not would this stays in the good ol' US of A, but every RPF member would be damn proud of every prop that comes out.
OK, I might get shot for that.

Interesting... where did you hear that from? I thought MR still had the license for Trek props. Did they just lose it?

depending on the wording of the contract, the license probably was non-transferable, thus when they were purchased, the license did not carry over.
Perhaps, but the Trek license belonged to MR both before and after they were purchased by Corgi.
