Thanks for reading!

I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago! A quality metal DL-44 replica was on my top-5 personal Star Wars collection grails list, so I couldn't resist when I found this. As you mentioned in your review, I've seen less impressive replicas sell for way more money previously, so this one seems like a great value. It sounds like it is as nice as I hoped it would be. I can't wait to receive mine. I'm really hoping they do an ESB version at some point as I'd love to have a nice example of both versions.

I just need to figure out a creative way to display it now...

I'm working on figuring out a way to put it on the wall as well...

Hoping I can get one in Australia at some point.

Ouch! That price! I know you rationalized it in your review, and it makes sense. But still!

Dammit I really want it!

I have a lot to ponder...

Yea, remember - MR was charging almost that much a decade or more ago. 'member their ESB blaster? mmmmm, 'member berries...

Wow, this may be just the blaster I've been looking for!

Great review. Now I've got to try & not spend $500. Thanks.

I'm liking this a lot. Might order one. Will cost me around $560-580 shipped to the uk but hey it looks good and make an awesome display piece.

Considering a resin "good" custom will cost that or more, looks like a great deal. The only pistol I've been considering getting, most iconic to Star Wars imo.

Any Aussie freaks out there can get their hands on one of these, PM me.

Very cool.

Nice review, it definitely pushes me over the line on deciding to buy one of these

Very cool blaster there! Denix makes pretty accurate Mausers, excellent for converting into DL-44 and Mer-Sonn, at a fraction of price of a real MGC.

Haha, same here. Been wondering how to get one for years.

Mine didn't come weathered... at all. Did you hand weather yours? I'd like to weather it but don't know how

You can choose weathered or unweathered in the drop down options. I presume you didn't choose the weathered option then?

Yes, I'd assume you didn't choose 'weathered', and didn't notice that the clean version was $50 cheaper.

How long did it take to make and come in? The site says 4-6 weeks. Is that accurate? No rush, I'm just curious.

Still heavily pondering if I should take the plunge. I have already gotten 2 reminder emails from Todd's Costumes telling me that I have an item in their basket!

I'm also curious about the timing--is it really 4-6 weeks? And does anyone know if there is indeed no display base or whatever for it, or did Michael's not have one because it was one of the first ones released (like he mentioned)?
