Excellent pictures. I was fortunate to aquire one too a while back. Wonder if they still have the mold for Grand?

If they don't, I bet it wouldn't be too hard for them to recreate one. Hell, I'd let them use mine if they needed it assuming we could work out something and could have some kind of a guarantee that I'd get mine back.

I realized a few days ago that the photos were out of order in Grand's gallery and that there was an error in my script that caused all of the images that included "grand" in the Masterforce image folder to be included in Grand's gallery (i.e. all of Grand Maximus' images were in Grand's gallery as well). I renamed the images for Grand, reuploaded them, fixed the error with my script and recreated the gallery. All's good now!

I think they can. I was looking at a few things that reminded me of a class I wanted to take. All they need is an original Pretender shell and a 3D scanner. This allows them to make a plastic/rubber mold from the scans, which is then used to make the mold that makes the shells.

It is something I was wishing that I could explain in better details. Because I think that if they can do this - Or make a digital mold if that is more cost effective... We could see the revival of "dead" pieces be reborn with little or no retooling.
