Re the Weta dollars, I spoke to Darren at Weta today and he confirmed that you can use any Weta dollars earned against future preorders. So, assuming you earn't XX Weta dollars on your Arc Generator, you can just email them and ask them to apply those dollars to the cost of the Exo preorder. I've not actually earned any Weta dollars, as none of my items have been shipped and paid for yet, but I should get a few with the AG 1:1, Assault Rifle 1:1, (both in minature), and the Christopher Johnson and son as well.

I'm hoping we see a few more of the weapon replicas as well. Even if they don't make them in 1:1 (some would probably be too big and complex) I hope we at least see them in the mini versions. The weapon designs from this movie are some of the best we've seen IMO.

Looking forward to the rest of you pics . . . . thanks again - Nick

Sure thing, Nick.

Thanks a lot for the info on the Weta dollars! I'm definitely getting the discount! Thanks! verjoyed:

The 1/1 assault rifle is excellent and it's as big as the AG. As for the minis, they looked PERfect. I don't know how close the production pieces can get but from what I saw. You won't be disappointed! And yes, it will great if they continue the line.

I also asked them about those awesome bases for the 1/1s and they told me those made out of pinewood and it won't available for sale. Good thing I took the pics of those bases.

Here's one of my pics.

That detail is simply astounding! Great shot! Damn you Weta, indeed.

I think maybe the Arc Generator is a good indication of that. 75% there but missing the personalised weathering and attention to detail that only a prototype/master will show.

I will have a load of fun adding what the factory paintjob will miss!
This maquettte is packed with great details.
