WETA: District 9 Guns

[Fetts.Sobriquet]

I feel bad for that poor gas projector. I wonder if anyone has bought one.

 

[Birdie]

SO many cool designs... but I think aside from the Arc Generator and the rifle Christopher carries... and possibly the short cannon Wikus picks up and attacks the voodoo cult with, I don't know how interested I would be.

Ditto. I think I'd actually rather have the rifle than the arc gun, but can't count on maybes.

Me and a whole bunch of other people. It's one of my favourites. Pity it only fires one shot in the movie, but what a shot!!! :lol

I think it'll take longer to sell out, but will sell out.

Do you guys reckon the "foosh" or one of the more SMG will appear?
Really want to pre order, but id rather have the afforementioned than the ARC TBH.......its been VERY hard to restrain over the weekend i have to add just to press fire on the ARC.

Caveneau, me too - that one would be very cool. As guns with some of the most screen time, anyone game to call that and CJ's machinegun as the likeliest next two for release?

Or are we more likely to get major weapon/minor weapon pairings? Or single releases, or some completely different schedule? Anyone know Weta's habits? I'm a fairly new customer; only have a Righteous Bison so far.

I'd love some of the low-slung 'power tool'-type weapons, the ones with a lot of fuel cells. But those are really complex and though seen, aren't used or are used little in the film, so I guess they'd be low on the probability list.

Lee - do it. You know you won't regret it. The arc generator is a legendary prop!

PS less than thirty left, remember?

I would imagine by this evening they will be gone...if you are on the fence, jump off.

 

[Funky]

Do we know how many they have left?

website down.

 

[The Stig]

It appears to be the whole Weta site.

Here's what was posted from Weta.

The Arc Generator is almost sold out (less than 30 left), so we will not have any stock remaining for wholesalers.

We will keep a limited amount for special Weta events.

I think that is exactly what we are seeing here with the first release, a "major" weapon and a relatively minor one, which, when you think about it, is a VERY smart selling strategy. If I had to guess, I would think CJ's rifle will be the "major" weapon in the next pair... only time will tell.

I really hope they make the nano fluid container.

Site is back up, and with so few being left...I could not resist ordering another arc.

As far as the fluid device goes, I could'nt be happier with the one I got here from RPFer Birdie
