I've pre-ordered this one...should be out (hopefully) Q3 this year.

Clearly, you haven't been following the market value of the Tomenosuke's.

$1000 today...probably closer to $2000 in 5 years

So. as it turns out Paragon has contracted Tomenosuke to make these blasters. These will be Tomenosuke's. It's just Paragon has the license...and only in North America (for now). No shipping outside the US.

Really? No interest in movie props/replicas here? This looks amazing to me.

If there is an existing thread on this I couldn't find it. Which surprised me because DAMN...this is the one item I am most eagerly awaiting! Yes it's a little pricey...but the level of detail is right there with the Tomenosuke IMHO: "The Deckard Hero (Elite) has been manufactured from the...

That's what I'm thinking...3500 is a lot.

Personally, I'd rather have fewer large pieces than a ton of small pieces. But that's just me. Then again, what's small to me might be larger to someone else. I'm aiming to have a smaller number of 1/4 scale vs many 1/10. A select few 1/3 scale, and a decent # of 1/6 scale. So my focus will be...
