Did anyone else watch the Facebook live? Paul had mentioned that the 1:2 scale would be limited to only 100 pieces. I am shocked that more people didn't buy these. That being said, there is a part of me that is happy as I think they will hold their value well. I sold my 1:1 scale for a nice profit so that I could buy these. Thank you for making these Paul! I might just have to buy two sets!

I think this is one of the first times chronicle didn't offer this to international distributors. That may explain the low edition.

Yeah, I'd have absolutely loved to buy these! They were just staggeringly expensive for us.

I take it the Ra 1:2 bust has been canceled?

I understand the logistics of a limited market, but at the same time I do think it unfair that fans were lured in with the appeal of owning the set of three, only for the most demanded piece (Ra) at the end to be made only available in the US.

Distributors outside the US mark these up to crazy prices because they have to pay the shipping, the customs charges AND make a profit, then the customers that buy from THEM have to cover all those costs AND pay the secondary shipping prices on top of all that.

It saw the Horus and Anubis masks going for thousands and thousands here. Unless you're a top football player there's just no way to afford that.

Unfortunately I was thinking the same thing. RA should be a 1:1 piece!

The 1:2 Stargate busts are now limited to 100 pieces each.

We did open this up to international buyers. They retail for $750 each, half what the originals listed for even though the cost wasn't half to have them made. You can get them both for $1200 and save a few bucks.

This will probably signal the end of Stargate products.

No weapons or Anubis gauntlet? I was looking forward to those to go with the 1:1 busts.

Anubis gauntlet, that would be a sick one I would buy instantly.
Please Paul, make it happen.
