MR Sting sword $39 plus free shipping (65% off!!!)

[GilGalad HK]

Hi everyone, I wanted to say that I am in no way affiliated with Master Replicas. I just got this post card in the mail with this offer and thought I would pass it along to all of you.

Just go to the MR website at: www.masterreplicas.com or call 1-866-491-7891 and enter in promotional code LD4-1455 at checkout.

This will get you 65% off of Sting along with free shipping! This offer is only good through October 31....Fly you fools!

[Saurons I]

I assume this is only good for Sting and not any other merchandise? I wish it was for anything on the website, I'd grab a couple lightsabers and a Stormtrooper blaster.

[GilGalad HK]

It says just on Sting, but It doesnt hurt to try...

[Brandybuck]

Thanks for the great tip GilGalad. I was on the fence on this for $100 but (for me) $42.02 is a steal!

[Nemo Nint]

Thanks, GilGalad!

I might go in for that!

[Naugladur]

I HIGHLY recommend this deal. I bought one (for $65, darnit), and I love it. It really does look like steel; and when people see it light up they have a movement. At that price all of the kids should get one of these this Christmas.



"Short guy. Bad attitude. Likes his treasure. Your treasure too."

[Nemo Nint]

THAT'S A FANTASTIC IDEA!!!

I might see if me and a few other people can chip in and get one for my little friend Caleb. thanks for that idea Naugladur! :)

[Dassy]

U.S Only or Uk as well,If you know!

Cheers:wave

[LewisD]

[LewisD]

I can't remember, is this Sting hobbit size, or human size?

[Viking28]

27” long x 5.5” wide x 1.5” thick I would say human but could be wrong

I cant wait to get this thanks again for sharing that awesome deal!!!:rock

[SamAKALiz]

Thanks GilGalad!
Never seen such a great promo code.

I had played w/ one of these at Comic-Con and really liked it, but just couldn't justify spending that much. But at $40, it will be mine!!!

[WetaWork]

$39 shipped !!!!! :jaw

I'm in!!!

Thanks GilGalad HK :rock

[Eyebrows of Doom]

Awesome!! I had been wanting this but since I already have the UC Sting I wasn't prepared to spend much for it, but for $39 it will be mine! I just placed an order for one. Thanks!

[Bodie The Cursed]

Is this sword worth getting?.. I kinda remmeber seeing one and thinking it looks like a toy.. Is this the one that glows?.. any pics?.. reviews?..

[JSAuctionService]

Ordered! :yay Thanks for the info GGHK! :bow :bow :toast

It's amazing all the great deals we can find and share around here!

JS :wave

[WetaWork]

[JSAuctionService]

I'd be mighty pissed had I paid $120 + $15 S/H for this thing,
only to see it now available for $39 shipped. >: >: >:

JS :wave

[Deadly Dagger]

dunno...seems a lil too toy like for me :| , I would buy one for my daughter (who is 4, other is 2)..but the wife might hit me with it:thwak

[WetaWork]

I've seen it at a local shop and while I could understand the "toy" like aspect (light's sound, polycarbonite...) bothering some....but this is a very well made high quality "toy" and blows away any other "toy" Sting out on the market.

Unless you have real orcs in your neighborhood, this will be just fine. Otherwise get UC's sting and run like hell...

Those on the fence should read some reviews.

[One of Nine]

Placed an order, cant beat $39 bucks! I bet the person at MR who checks the orders is going to ^^^^^ Monday morn! Thanks for the info GilGalad not only are you a gentleman , but a Farscape fan!!!! :rock Counting down to the mini also8)

[adamk]

Seems to good to be true, but I'll try it anyway.

$39 shipped to Canada.

Amazing.

I'll cross my fingers.

[Lasher33]

So how does this work?
You give out all your cc info and then you fill out the code, hoping for the best?
Or is there a 'confrm this order' screen after that?
I'd hate to order it only to find out that the discount will not be applied to orders from Europe and that I'm stuck for the full price...

[DarkShadowCollectibles]

I noticed that too Lasher.

I was curious if there was another page or you enter the code and pray.

[JSAuctionService]

There's a confirm screen after entering your card info.
The Promotional Code box is on the same page as the
one where you enter your CC info, at the bottom of
the page. I didn't have any problems at all.

JS :wave

[Slayer Of Kings]

Thanks for this GilGalad! :rock :rock :rock

[Lasher33]

Thanks Jim, I tried it and it works.
Although the shipping is a little high to Europe ($50,- +), it still is a great deal.

Thanks GG for sharing this with us!

[RodLonghi]

Ordered mine. Thanks :wave

[Shannon7112]

Ya know I hate to bust bubbles and I am happy that you all got a great deal on these. As I would have loved to offer it to my customers. But as a retailer with them, we paid $89 a piece for this item. Over 400.00 for a carton. Then they capped us for 6 months to sell it for no less than $119.00. Then they turn around and started chopping down the price and held the ropes as tight as they could on us retailers. Not that I want to compete with MR. But I HATE not being able to provide good deals to my customers. And above all taking a HUGE loss on this item. I found it real hard to charge my customers 119.00 for plastic! Steel something else but PLASTIC it was hard to move that item. We sold what we had pretty much gave them away and we are glad to be done with the Sting FX major money loser for retailers! If you check out MR's site you will see they hardly moved them as well. I know they have upset a great deal of people. Rebelscum.com has really gotten angry about the sale of their items!

[DarkShadowCollectibles]

I agree with Shannon.

This is a big blow to retailers.
I will just have to hang on to mine till these sell out and hope they move.

All I have to say is thanks MR for the great buy and for sticking it to the retailers.

[mrichards2002]

Adam, Shannon,

Looks like the manufacturer is under cutting their retailers.
This looks like the computer business to me now.

Sorry Guys. I wish all Manufacturers were like Sideshow.

They treat their retailers well. Speaking for myself.

Mike
:dance

[WetaWork]

GilGalad HK,

Just curious if you know why you originally received this offer. Was it a random promotion or something specific you can pin point it to?

While I understand the retailors being annoyed about this deal, I would hope they refrain from contacting Master Replicas until after it ships. :(

[One of Nine]

HEY!! I just got a shipping notice from MR for my sting which I ordered last night so the deal actually works! :rock I was thinking I would get a email from them saying " hey we caught this misake and nobody gets our stuff this cheap" CANCELLED!!!

[adamk]

I just got my ship notice as well. $39 shipped to canada.

Never planned on buying this thing, I don't think I would ever pay more than $50 total - item just never really interested me, seemed toy-ish. But hell I'll buy anything for 40 bucks. :rollin

[Winged Shadows]

I can't help but think that it looks kinda tacky.

[Eyebrows of Doom]

Yup, I got a shipping notice as well. Says it went out through FedEx so I should get it pretty soon, not 4-6 weeks like it said on the site! Awesome! :)

[JSAuctionService]

Got mine too! :dance

Kick @$$! :rock

JS :wave

[Shannon7112]

Adam, Mike, MR knows how to make the retailer really eat it!! I have went round and round with them. I agree with what was said about sideshow. I have never dealt with any one as good as them!

[Viking28]

Recieved my shipping notice!

[Shannon7112]

Winged Shadow, they are not UC...for the price of $39.00 and free shipping yeah it is a better deal. I am not sure if any of you have seen them. I had one board member here email me directly about it and quality. I just stated for the price yeah buy. But if you have a Sting (UC) already then no they are not worth it.

[Winged Shadows]

Yeah Shannon...i've seen the UC sting.. it's pretty cool (even more so with scabbard).

And the $39 wouldn't apply in my case anyway..since i'm overseas it be closer to $90.

Hope those of you who've wanted one bag yourself a good deal.

[Eyebrows of Doom]

I just got my MR Sting!!!:yay Wow, free overnight FedEx shipping!! Looks pretty cool, I was surprised that it actually felt quite heavy, not like a toy at all. However, I'm pissed cause I didn't know I had to buy some special kind of batteries separately!:bang >: I wanted to try it as soon as I got it and post some pics but now I'll have to wait until I can get out to someplace that sells them. So a notice to all you who have ordered it, make sure you have 2 “123” 3 volt lithium batteries so the thing will actually work.:\

Edited to add that at least this kind of battery is not that expensive. A pack of 2 is $11.99 at Target. Whew, I thought it was like the $30-50 camera ones, cause the instructions said to get them at a camera store, lol.

[GilGalad HK]

I have no idea why I was sent the coupon. I have never even bought a thing from MR. I guess it was just a random mailing, and no clue how they got my info.

[jdonoho]

Regarding dealers and MR. I thought you could only presell at 5% off. I know a site selling the MR .45 Sith sabers at just under $30. I thought $33.25 was as low as you could go. :dunno

[Shannon7112]

Well it has gotten to the point to where people have said to hell with the rules I think! ;) But yes they are not suppose to do that.

I have another distributor that I get MR merchandise with I can buy one at a time which is GREAT. I am not stuck with a whole carton of dead merchandise! That I end up taking a loss on. And sell for what I want and not be MR's puppet. I hate sounding bitter but they stuck it to me pretty bad. I have lost a lot of money on their merchandise.

[Slayer Of Kings]

I just got my Sting today. It's very cool. Definitely worth the $39. The sword has a real nice weight to it. I'm surprised how much it really does look like steel! Anyway I'm off to chase the dog around some more with it.

[Lasher33]

Wow, that was fast!!!
Only three or four days...

And even though it is no UC, it is well worth the (discounted) price.

[One of Nine]

I got mine today and cant say anything that no one here has said already, but its Awesome!

[JSAuctionService]

Got mine today. Bought the $15 batteries for it, and it is neat,
but it makes me want one that is actually steel.

I'll be getting a small plaque for mounting antlers on the wall
as a replacement display to mount it to the wall. It will look
more regal that way if I pick a nice one. The plastic stand
really sucks.

It is worth $40, but if I'da paid $100 or more, I'd feel hosed.

JS :wave

[Spiff]

*sigh* I was hoping to get this today as well, but it appears it was delivered to the wrong address :cry

>:

:bang

[Spiff]

Well, were able to figure out the mix up. FedEx delivered to a "Michael's" store a couple of miles from me. The store has the same number as my house. So with that, and my first name being "Michael", I guess I can see how they could of delivered to wrong place.

Anyways, did get it. It is a cool sword. Worth the $40, but don't think worth tooo much more than that (I did go out and buy the batteries to for $13).

You're right, JS. Makes you wanna get a steel one :D

[adamk]

Got mine too. $39 shipped to CANADA and no customs fees of any kind. It is definitely worth this price to me but I would never pay more than $50 for it. It would look a lot more realistic if the edges of the blade wasn't clear plastic, but I can't complain much for the price. It is pretty damn cool lit up :elf

[Viking28]

Got mine today also, pretty dam cool. But I agree MR should of never of charged more than $50 for it (like Sideshow should of never charged more than $75 for HD). It does make you want the metal version alot!
