I don't know for sure who the new buyer is. Paul Allen is the person I had heard it was, but it was most likely somebody representing him if it was. Nothing yet on the official channels. More pictures should be coming though.

Thank you for the note. I would be waiting for those pics eagerly.


BTW Andy, I have the Tomenosuke kit coming in soon. If you don't mind I should be pm'ing you as I want to upgrade it to a even more accurate version, as I think you're one of the persons I know, from a total of 2 or 3 worldwide, that seems to know the BR blaster best.


Back on topic.

if we're lucky and paul allen was indeed the buyer we may be seeing it at the SFM in seattle sometime soon. Here's to hoping

I chat with a lot of gun owners, and many of them, I do mean many, think sci-fi guns, and how guns are modified for films, is nothing short of tragedy.

Imagine someone who thinks the pulse rifle sucks because it's a shame to cover up a thompson, and cut up a remington 870 like that.

They don't understand why movie prop masters bolt things on a gun that don't belong there.

Shocked

Same goes to people transforming vintage cars into low-riders or hot-rods...it's simply variations on a theme Wink

I could understand why.
Just don't let 'em see Blade Runner or Star Wars and they'll be happy, lol.

Strange... I've just checked it again and it plays perfectly in Safari, I also tried it in Firefox.

Even booting up a PC worked perfectly so it might be your flash player...

Thanks mate; I'll try again at home this time (I'm at work...maybe that's why it doesn't work).

Does anyone know who the gentleman is that seems to be presiding over all these auctions? The guy in the sweater.
