    I guess you didn't factor in the idea that my whole point might be that if this is really expensive I wouldn't want to give up buying other things I really want or need to get it. If its $300 or more, nope, because I can't buy everything I want and won't give up 2 or 3 other things I want for this.
    For a Megatron fusion cannon, maybe, but not this.

    I buy one hundred toys a year? I bloody wish!
    I want this, but not enough to not buy a whole bunch of figures for a year just so I can get an Ion Blaster. I'd rather just make my own if that's what it takes.

    Surely it wouldn’t be that hard to make it?

    Probably not, but you don't even want to know how many Transformers projects (and that's not even including non-Transformers projects) I've started and never finished...

    But yeah, I figure it wouldn't be all that hard. Maybe you wouldn't end up with as nice a finish or as sturdy materials as this one but it could be done.

    Yeah I guess it’s hard to finish something like that.

    This is rad, and I'd be interested depending on the coin.

    As this is not a "toy" but a prop replica, it shouldn't be too hard to get through US customs. Still, you never know with those goobers.

    I had the hugest smile at the end of that.

    Not that I needed much convincing but I think this may have pushed me over the edge as far as a 3D printer goes.

    Must build one ...

    A Creality CR-10 is probably one of the best 'bang for your buck' machines around at the moment, and there's very little assembly required.

    Thanks for sharing! I looked up the Ultimaker and was like, "Yeah, that's too much money."

    Watching a review video now of the CR-10.

    This will probably cost more than a real gun. I've seen shotgun and AR "TYPE" setups that look freakishly similar. Unnecessary, but cool looking.

    Ahh, the 80s. Where violence was a marketing tool to sell to kids & adults alike, be it tv shows, rated r movies (that had toys targeted to kids), or just straight up ‘controversial’ toys, that in their defense were designed to have kids interact with each other.

    I recall the toy commercials that got me and a few friends amped was:
    THE LOOK... THE FEEL... THE SOUND... SO REAL...

    What? No M41-A Pulse Rifle? 10 millimeter with an 30mm grenade launcher? Han's Blaster? Stormtrooper Blaster rifle? Robocop's Auto 9?

    I need this....just the big question......how much?

    I would only buy this if it played The Touch and had accurate rifle sounds.
