Hey Talyn,
Sadly, the ZAT is on hold due to the state of the Stargate fan interest. While we know and love that diehards exist, Stargate's been a bit slow all the way around and we'd need to know we have a certain amount of interest to be able to finance the cost of the run.
So, while we'd love to make it, we can't do it currently. If that changes and fan interest revs up again, we'll reassess for sure. ;-)
That's very sad to hear about the ZAT. If I may, I have a few ideas on how you might be able to rev up fan interest again.
Have you thought of opening a ZAT mailing list, for those who would like to preorder, (I believe you've done so before with other high priced items) so you'll have an idea of preorder numbers. Or maybe you can just open a preorder with a 12 month waiting list or however long you'd need.
Something else you might consider is letting the Stargate fan base know that you want to make the ZAT, but that you need a good number of people willing to preorder to do so. You could do this by posting info on the QMX website, facebook page and also Stargate news sites, like GateWorld.
I'm sure that you'd get the numbers you need, as many Stargate fans, not just diehards would love to own a working ZAT Gun.
One other thing you might consider is having Signed Editions, like you did with the BSG Viper Mark II Artisan Replica, as I'm sure many fans would jump at the chance of having a Signed Edition ZAT.
