I guess you're not a prawn nor a mutant ( unless you have find a canister in the junk ) so I'm sorry but you will not be able to warm you're meal with....:unsure

But you could proudly display it in the kitchen and impress folks with, describing it as " a new alien/japanese device for cooking/disintegrating any kind of meat" :behave
 
I'm all for the Microwave gun - what an amazingly unusual and unique weapon!

Sign me up!

Yeah...amazing. But I think the Microwave gun just goes over the line as being "too unusual" and "too unique". On its own, it looks like it could be some kind of a telecommunication device, or transportation device etc., because of the design having a predominant antenna or dish....It just does not look like a gun or a weapon at first encounter. I guess it is obviously some sci-fi contraption of sort when you look at it. If it is displayed alongside other D9 guns or a D9 graphics display behind it, then one could make the connection that it is some sort of D9 Alien weapon or something (if they did not see the movie).

However... the SMG (or I call it the snubby assault rifle)...well that looks like the usual suspect ...it looks like a gun up front, stand alone. One can see it has weapon/gun DNA and heritage.... that's partly why I like the SMG over the dish-micro wave gun. It just looks like/feels like a gun off the bat. ....... I hope WETA decide to produce the SMG. The dish micro wave gun is cool...but the SMG is heaps ...way COOLER (so to speak). :love

It sure looks like WETA has the numbers for a run of 200 of EACH GUN with just RPF support.

Come on Weta...make em both! :thumbsup

** But make the Microwave gun first :lol

Can we negociate a discount on massive order ? :lol

We ARE the market! Consider the market price the "group discount" as a one-off would undoubtedly be triple the price if not more! :lol
 
I don't know..... The Assault Rifle is still available on Weta site.... was 300 pieces too much ?:cry

I Hope they will consider releasing both replica despite this annoying fact.....
 
Yes, it does seem that way. I wonder if it'd be economic to build SMGs from unsold ARs?? LOL.
 
Yes, the microwave gun would be my choice. My #1 favourite was always the 'Sonic force gun, then the microwave gun. The handle of the microwave gun is so cool.
 
I've told 'em in person, many times over, 'til they made me move on...

I miss you, Miramar.
 
Well we've cracked the magic 200 per each figure JUST from RPF membership alone.

Even if you figure 80% of those respondents might actually flake when the guns come out, that still leaves 80 guns sold here alone, then there's the rest of Teh Intarweb. We can't have the majority of the total potential customer demographic here, can we? Or are we that big these days?

TIM! FEEDBACK!! PLEASE!!!! :behave
 
I like the Microwave best, but I want BOTH weapons and I'm willing to put in a pre-order for both right now!

Go Weta Go!!!
