What's the point of arguing about it?
Karl did what HE thought was the right thing. His pics, his decision. I admire him for it. If you don't respect the owners of these items opinions and wishes, you will NEVER get access.
If the witch hunt mentally of the self appointed prop police would ease up, maybe we could pull a few more of these high end collectors into trusting a little more. But the huge red light that is shined on this when it happens only serves to make them run for cover.
If someone reposts them then they are scum.
Certainly they are already out to the clever enough to grab them while they could, if you didn't too bad. Should have been quicker.

Thanks for sharing the pics Karl.
I understand where you're coming from and respect your decision.
I'm so glad I took the time to save them before they went away
.
Thanks again, and take care,
Chris

Ok that's FRACKIN ridiculous Phil, why would they get upset about something that doesn't even look like the end product without heavy modifications????.?.?
THIS kind of crap is why people get ticked with the hush-hush original prop collectors...
And don't get me wrong, I collect screen-used pieces as well, so I do understand both sides, but there's a fine line between being protective and being tryanical (for lack of a better word atm)....
talk about sour grapes...... :rolleyes
Oh and no Phil I'm not directing this at you specifically, so please excuse me if it feels that way.
EDIT: and who exactly would be.. "people at the very, VERY highest levels are involved"??? You're telling me Ridley Scott and/or the people that own the rights to the movie are upset about exposure of a prop from a movie from 1982.... ??

Being antagonistic doesn't help anyone's cause. It just strengthens the resolve of those who asked people not to share.
If we conduct ourselves with more dignity, and we don't belittle the feelings of others, maybe we'll get to play in their sandbox again some other day.

Can I ask what these individuals are at the highest levels of?
Karl's list of good friends he wants to keep?
Prop collecting?
Copyright law?
Studio management?
Income?
The bleedin' Freemasons?
I can't understand the decision, it just seems weird that some people (undoubtedly grey-haired, well-heeled besuited folks) are upset because the world -or maybe just a few hundred people in it- now knows and gives a flying tinker's cuss that there are two little screws in the left side of the mag and a bit of white wire hanging off.
I've seen a fair amount of crazy stuff happen on here, and the hits just keep on coming.
Nothing personal, I have to respect the Karl's decision and his wish that the pics are removed. But the reasoning behind it? Can someone from the very top of whatever contact the mere mortals down here with a convincing, clear and well-worded description of the motive behind the secrecy?

To clarify the situation further: Richard Coyle contacted me yesterday and told me that the prop's owner had become aware of his plans to produce an "ultimate" replica blaster. Coyle says that the owner asked for "the photos to be taken down".
So while I have not been contacted directly by the owner, I am trying to comply with Coyle's request.
