If you're still accepting orders on this, let me know! I'd be in for a few.

Hey. Great news to hear. I would love 1 Green Brando crystal and 2 white crystals. I apologize for not knowing exactly the size of the white crystals. Still playing catch up. I read on way earlier posts that you have done the Returns white crystals? If so I would like one of those as well, please.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Heck YEAH!!! Those would look awesome set up in a crystal control panel like the Fortress. Great find.

someone correct me if I’m incorrect, but I believe that this run was for only one type of green crystal based on the dimensions of the one sold by the UK prop store. So no clear ones were being offered on this run.
Hydin, any update?

Chris, it's been a couple months since your last reply. Can we please get an update?

Hopefully Hydin will chime in with an update.
Hey guys and gals! My apologies on making you worry. Life just got weird and I spaced on updating the thread. Not an excuse, I know, but I am still sorry for it.
Stuff that's happened so far! (2020 has sucked)
Original factory could not get this thing made.
Replacement factory could but then got shut down due to the pandemic.
New factory could make it but only smaller (something like a 150mm maximum)
New factory thought they could, but they couldn't.
I've been playing hot potato with factories for the last couple months, but REJOICE FOR I HAVE FOUND ONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT. So, barring someone else getting shut down due to the pandemic (please god no) we will have pictures by the end of the week.
Right now I'm contracting a 3d printing company to print the model and send it to the factory to act as a reference piece, since it'll get there sooner than me mailing it.
Everything is still rolling along, just been a few more curves on this road than expected.
Please remember, do not hesitate to contact me on facebook messenger, or Twitter, or email if you have ANY questions or concerns. I haven't read the thread stuff yet, I'll go back and answers questions as I come across em.
For those wondering, it's a 50pc order so we are getting a couple extra.
Everyone keep your fingers crossed, and I'll make it a point to visit here at least once a week, even if it's just an update of "still waiting".
Thanks, and apologies again.

Ok, caught up on the thread. Yea this is just for the green crystal. The clear ones and different designs are going to happen later, as that factory was the one shut down in production due to an outbreak. Should be open in a month or so though.
The other posts seem to just be wondering wtf I am and honestly I get that. Again, apologies for making you guys worry. This hasn't been the most fun project but it has been one of the most complicated.
Again, any questions, hit me up, all my contact info should be in my profile. If it isn't, just email me at hydinout@gmail.com, or hit me at Twitter @hydinout , and I'll answer any and all questions you have. I think my messages are open as well, so feel free to dm me there if you prefer not to post.
Thanks and hope everyone has a great weekend!

UPDATE AS PROMISED!
Alright, I kinda made a liar out of myself, but I ended up getting the factory we are using to make a prototype instead of just wishing them well and having them kick off the run. That prototype had some issues with it, so instead of trying to edit pics and all that jazz, I just opted to comission a 3d print that was sent to them. Yea, yet another expense but hell, at this point we are so far beyond the initial setup just in transaction fees that it's laughable.
It was delivered yesterday, and tonight I received a video, and all I can say is DAMN. This thing is basically dead on to the print, which is obviously matching the model since it was printed off it.
I've added 5 more crystals to the run, and given the OK for them to get started on making em. No idea what the turnaround time is gonna be, but I'm hoping it's going to be short, considering the rapid prototype making, and the fact they have a literal physical reference to use.
I'm not trying to be all hyperbolic, but I can honestly say, this is worth the delay on getting this done. The thing is perfect.
As soon as I get a shipping notice or something else updated, I'll update the thread and let you guys and gals know what's up.
Thanks!
