For sure, same goes to the other stuffs. Weta was pretty smart to just produce 200 of these. The value is in the eyes of the beholders, only.

Maybe, we'll see but only 200 were made and I'm almost positive there are more than 200 fans of this gun worldwide.
Also, I don't know any other props of this size designed and sold by the same company that did them for the movie.

Weta told us at SDCC that they WAY undersold the Arc Generator, and that they kinda shot themselves in the foot with the 200 limit, which only makes me hold them in all the more regard since they have stuck to their word in not doing a second run.
It is tough to say whether these will appreciate or not, but again, I didn't buy mine for that purpose, only for my own enjoyment and since this isn't a screen used piece, I don't really feel any responsibility in maintaining it in its original form... and I guess I'd go one step further in saying the same with certain screen used pieces. I have chopped up screen used Starship Trooper armor.... lots of it.... There were over 600 suits made so I had no issue making the suits I own more like what I wanted. We even chopped up a set of female armor for Mirax... so I guess in this debate, I am the ultimate devil.... no... that title actually goes to that guy that "restored" the Hoggle. I'll never top him...

Ha! Awesome!!
FYI, I was told that the black and orange design was supposed to be used on the Exo-Suit. Hence the different color scheme.
FB
That's great info! Pick up any other cool gun related insight at SDCC? I'm just aS obsessed with these things as you are! :lol Give us a brain dump man!
I want to sell the new hot toys guardian predator I bought and buy one of these AG'S but there are no more! waiting 6 months for the assualt rifle and exo-suit is my only option now:wacko

Yeah, the gun below (Alien Organic Retriever) has a backpack and it was designed to take samples from inside something and dump it into the clear backpack seen at the bottom. The clear dome thing caught my interest and I wanted to know what it was.
For instance you could take a sample of the inside of rocks or a cow and the contents would dump into the clear container area.
Most people figured this out but the Arc Generator and the Assault Rifle are both on the Exo suits right arm but they are turned upside down. I never knew that until SDCC. I was told that depending on the mission, different items could be attached to the arms.
That's when I was told that your gun's color scheme was for the Exo-Suit.
I posted this a while back but still cool info:

Done! Additional markings may be adder later on, or not.
THX...just wondering how you were going to crush the top of the canister of the Arc Gun since your trying to match the screen used one. Least it looks crushed where the arrow is pointing in the pic.

Please, don't be an ass. Who the heck in the right mind gonna do that? I'd be gladly to crush yours.
