    looks awesome, and i know shapeways highest quality is in between hasbro an takara's
    but, still dont see why the price(i mean, i know shapeways prices depends on the moel itself)
    i mean, i cant see a reason for paying that much for a single weapon
    still looks awesometasticmazing (XD)

    Well technically you are getting two weapons...

    If we can get it produced for cheaper, we will. But for now that is pretty
    is pretty big 'IF'.

    Will there be examples showing the differences between types so that we can see which would be best for each of us?

    Wow. That's actually pretty damn good quality. I've seen really variable results from 3D printing services, but that's top-notch.

    I am not stingey with the "wallet crusher" nominative. You are free to use it
    as you see fit. (+)

    Think of it as a price class like deluxe, voyager, or my favorite
    "Giant Cheetor nobody buys".






    (+)(I thought I had given you "Wallet Smasher" and had a senior moment...)

    Lock in place: no
    Flop around: no
    Friction washers in the top of each hinge keep the blade halves
    where you want them.

    Having bought Fakebusker's Scatter Blaster Shotgun, gotta say I'm amazed by the quality of Shapeways plastics.

    Mind if I change my order from Wallet Annihilator to Shapeways?

    to handle orders and what not. I will post that thread in the
    morning.
