You guys all remember how awesome Weta's guns from Discrict 9 were, right? Well, once again, the team from Weta will be offering up their amazing creations... this time from Elysium!

For those who don't know, the screen used Chemrail gun is LIVE in eBay right now and is going for over $1200 already.. and the auction hadn't ended! Now, you can fight over that or get essentially the exact same thing from Weta!

So, don't wait; go out and pick one of these bad boys up! At $399, from the original manufacturer of the screen used prop, this is a steal!

As a final note, we have an affiliate program through Weta so if you order your Chemrail through one of our links, you are also helping support the site!

Yeah I was just saying to colleagues - I'm looking forward to seeing the film released in the UK, but this prop looks too much like a real gun for me to want a replica. It makes it tricky if I ever wanted to part with the piece over here. That was the cool thing about the D9 replicas, they looked really Alien, in some cases almost insect-like in design.

Still excited about seeing all the props in the movie and I'm sure I'll want to pick up one of the other offerings from Weta Collectibles!
 
i wish i could afford one these are sweet!
i don't even think the price is too far off considering the size and detail.

but i was a little put off that there's no movable parts, which made me think it didn't have a trigger or a removable clip/magazine that would just make it for me over the top amazing.
 
:popcorn Great News. Excellent price of just $399. This Chemrail rifle looks kind of cool too. Thanks WETA! :love
Hope they bring out a replica of the Cousar Crowe Assault Rifle also. :ninja
 
Just pre-ordered mine! This is a great price for a cool replica. It would look great repainted in the desert sand color scheme shown in the Art of Elysium book. Or even in the digital camoflage shown for some of the other weapons. Oh damn! Now I may have to buy more than one!:facepalm
 
yup I bid on it too. I only bid up to $2500 just for a chance. I knew it would be a slim one and I was right.
 
Unlike the DS9 guns, I don't think the UK guys will be able to get these :(

After massively regretting selling my D9 Arc Reactor, i was just about to press that magical pre-order button for this one, as i know how incredible Weta's replica guns and rifles can be, and for the price of $399 - WOW!

However, i hadn't for a minute considered that being in the UK, these replicas may not make it to our front doors.

Is anyone thinking of taking a chance?
I do some clay pigeon and air rifle shooting, abiet i do not have a licence yet, do you think if this was delivered to the gun shop it would get there?

Several RPF members in the U.K.had their Blade Runner Blaster kits seized recently by UK Customs while other got through. One member even had the Police show up at his house to check on the rest of his collection as a result! It's a roll of the dice.

If I were you, I would contact the local UK Police and Customs people and give them the information on the WETA website...and ask them what you need to do to get it in to the UK. Sheesh...don't ask us.... get them to post it with some clay pigeons with it...huh:confused

:ninja
 
I pre-ordered one as well. I've always been happy with the stuff Weta puts out. Now I need to see the film :lol

I checked out the pre-order on their website and when you select an European country for the shipping estimate, it states that it ships from the 'UK Warehouse'. In that case I don't think it would be a problem to order within the UK, as it is shipped from a 'local' warehouse, so I would expect no customs problems... ?
 
maybe ask weta to get a definitive answer on where potential uk customer guns will ship from.

i can't remember where the d9 guns shipped from, did it say european or uk warehouse?


-edit, just checked my weta account yes it stated UK warehouse..........

Brilliant, you may of saved the day!!

I remember now, that the D9 Arc Generator, did have UK delivery labelling, and there were no customs stickers etc etc, also no risk of having to stump up cash for VAT and custom charges.

Therefore, and as Zorg has verified, i think the risk will be all in Weta's boat here, i'm assuming if we pre-order and Weta are shipping from thier UK warehouse, then there will be no problems with these rifles being distributed within the UK.

WOOHOO, Thanks Damezz.

PREORDERED!!!!!

Agreed, if you order from weta and they can't deliver then its their problem.

BTW, I am banned from texas , only ladies know why.

I can't order it for delivery in Canada; there is something to do with the replica gun law. I'll have to order through an agent in Canada with permit to import airsoft...
