Hi everyone
We hope you enjoy your Arc Generator weapons ! I'd like to answer a few of your questions :
No, we will not be offering another production run of these. We will stick with the limited edition. We do have a waiting list. E-mail us at
info@wetaNZ.co.nz
Yes, there will be slight differences between the weapons you receive and the prop which one of you has purchased. In fact, there are also differences between each of the props used in the movie. We believe any military force would have weapons which are a combination of different models and which have suffered different battle damage and which have been repaired differently. So we create our props accordingly. We would rather have realism, than conformity. So when we created these replica weapons for sales, there was not one exact prop we could copy.
So come to Comic Con and chat about this with Greg Broadmore (who designed the weapons) and Dave Tremont (who helped create the replicas). We are at booth #2615. And while you are there, check out the sample pages of the new "Art of District 9 - Weta Workshop" book, which will be coming out in November.
Also, be aware the 3rd D9 full size weapon will be on display at Comic Con, and is opening for pre-orders very soon.
In terms of delivery timing, we include the latest shipping estimates at the bottom of our newsletters, so make sure you are signed up for them. The latest timing for the Arc Generator is : US warehouse - mid July, UK - late Aug, NZ warehouse - mid Aug.
