Bid on. I so want this! And if I were to win I'd offer to lend it to Ryan if he wants it for a gallery!

Still not a fan of the overall look. $100 is pretty reasonanble for it, though, all things considered.

It's at least $140 ($40 shipping, which IS ridiculous).

The $40 shipping is because the link is to eBay.ca and the auction is from America so it automatically factors in international shipping. Domestic shipping is only $12.

why waste ur time and give this ryan???

why not do everyone a favour and give this (if you win) to someone like madinjapan so he can make casts so we could all have a chance at owning this?

bidding on! if i do win this (which i doubt) then hopefully i can get it reproed for others

Considering how this affected the creator, I wouldn't think too highly of a KO coming out. Unless he got some cut of the profit (yeah, right).

Maiden Japan wouldn't touch it. Hell, iGear wouldn't touch it. No one will mass produce this thing. It's a leper, orphaned by scandal and lies and theft that no one is willing to be the next link in the chain of because if they were, they'd have done it already. There is no amount of making good the Slagacon guy (I'm blanking on his name) can do to make someone else take the torch. Hell, if I do win I'm tempted to whip it up on Sketchup and put it on Shapeways with the proceeds going to Slagacon. You know what? I just may do that.

thats a load of crap and the worst BS ive read in along time. I know MJ very well and i know if i offered him this to make copies of - he would do it because some of us fans want this piece

igear etc only touch stuff thats got a 100% finished prototype that they know they can work with. Hell thats the whole reason igears ratchet and ironhide are taking so long to come out. They have had to go back and redo something to make sure public dont complain about it later - good move i say

Like i said before - bidding on this and if i win then hopefully MJ or another guy i know can make solid casts of this in colored resin or something so that nothing scratches

If you keep this item for yourself and just keep it on a shelf the rest of your life....sorry just doesnt sit well with me. This piece should be enjoyed by everyone who wanted this piece as its something special - it already has a history behind it and if anything it needs someone to make its future better

So you'd rather steal it and sell it yourself? Because the pieces entire run was sold out for Slagacon and +90% of those people didn't get it. The concept, design and over a hundred units were already bought and paid for by Chad Williams and he's refunding that to his customers out of his own pocket so unless your reimbursing him, you're a thief.

Also, you have yet to bid on the set anyway. The two bids on it at the moment are both from before you commented that you were "bidding on it" and I should know because I'm 50% of the current bids. At this point, you're just trolling. Badly. >:oP

I pushed it over $250 (which was $50 higher then I told myself I'd go a week ago) but that was my cap. Rent and Maketoys Giant won the day.

And now that one is out in the wild, I expect KOs flooding out of China by the 4th of July! :roll:
