I have tried to email FE with a question, but my email was rejected. This is what I got :
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<barry@factoryent.com>:
Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

Have re-sent my message. Hope it gets through this time.
I also tried sending Barry an email and got this automated reply:
"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE. Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed. barry@factoryent.com"
What's worrying me is how great Factory Entertainment were at responding to qeustions on this forum however they haven't replied to anyones questions or queries on here in over a month.

My apologies if people feel we have been ignoring you. We have not, we have just been very busy, not least with Wave II Bond items
We love AJB007 and drop by all the time, where else could we get such comedy gems as the 'Nearer My God to Thee' reference. I am still laughing at that one (I should explain I am not laughing at the actual event, the heroism of Wallace Hartley and his band is something I can only ever dream to aspire to), but a long time ago in a previous life I worked somewhere where I felt very much as if I was playing 3rd violin in 'The Longest Night'; and could often be heard using the same metaphor on a daily basis. Seems ICS and I have the same sense of humor
Happily a more accurate metaphor is Lance-Corporal Jones. 'Don't Panic!' We have been holding off on too many replies on AJB as we got accused of favoritism by some of the competitors and we try to be impartial. (I look forward to the letters and emails on that)
Golden Guns (and all other Wave I items) are currently on route to us, and we expect to receive the first delivery this week.Orders will ship out strictly on an 'as ordered' basis. Customers will start to receive their confirmation emails very shortly.
All customers should have received a confirmation 'shipping update' email from us about 2 weeks ago to this affect. If you have placed an order did not receive this email pleas contact us as we want to ensure you receive these important updates. they are automatically generated and some email providers flag them incorrectly as spam.
It is our aim to get everybody their replicas before Christmas. But Direct orders (orders placed on our website) will receive priority and we will not ship wholesale accounts until all direct orders have been fulfilled.
Again we are sorry for the delay. We hoped to have these items in people's hands much much earlier than this. But we have to react to the factories and the extensions they repeatedly asked for. We also were very strict about solving manufacturing issues rather than rushing an inferior product to market.
All said and done we are very, very pleased with the first items that are finally on their way.
Sorry for any anguish or worry we may have caused and cannot wait to start seeing the reviews and comments

BTW I have no idea why some people got bounce-backs from our email over the weekend. We did receive the emails and have replied directly
Well in return for a Heart Smilie... a sneak preview of what will start to arrive in households, offices and secret island/volcano/underwater lairs across the globe shortly.
This is a photo record of an unpack of actual product .
Enjoy!
BTW - The in the final 'vanity' shot the acrylic cover is not shown, just because its a nightmare to photograph without reflections. And the ultra eagle eyed will notice that we used an LE plaque instead...because we cannot bring ourselves to use SE's as samples ;-)
Is the plan to send an email with an approx. balance charging date so we're sure to have our bank accounts in order?
Yes.
People will begin to receive emails shortly. This email will instruct people that shipping is imminent and to please check and update any details on their order, checking carefully things like delivery address.
We do not require responses to these emails. But we will wait a few days to give people time to put things in order before we schedule the orders for completion.
If we have any issues with any orders we will contact customers directly. Don't worry if for whatever reason an order does not complete we will give people a reasonable amount of time to correct any issues. But no orders will ship without payment.
If your order processes correctly you will receive an email with tracking information for the package/s.
Orders will be processed in batches as goods are available, in the order in which they were received.

Very nice pics - thankyou for sharing. I hope customs don't attack my box with a knife like they did the last time I got something from the states
All James Bond prop replica Items are currently in Transit to our warehouse. The Signature Edition Golden Gun and Jaws Teeth will start to ship starting next week, please ensure all order details are correct by logging into your account at http://www.factoryentstore.com. The Limited Edition Golden Gun and Tarot cards will follow shortly.
Very nice pics - thank you for sharing. I hope customs don't attack my box with a knife like they did the last time I got something from the states
Just an extra precaution, if they do open the brown outer carton, the first thing they will see (on both ends) on top of the inner product box is a big bright orange note that reads
"Customs Officer/Import Official. This item is a non-functional replica of a fantasy item that appeared in a major motion picture or television series. This item is intended for display only. This item does not fire any projectile. This item is intended for adult collectors over 18 years of age."
Its not guaranteed to stop them going heavy with the knife, but it should help deter them from feeling the need to examine any further... after all we it should be the owner how gets to unseal the gun right?
Additionally the word 'gun' does not appear anywhere on the exterior packaging or documents, and the gun is shipped in pieces so it looks innocuous if its x-rayed. The bullets are 100% resin for the same reason.
It's sent from the US and so being in the UK, I'm expecting a tax charge. Just not sure what the rate is?
Anyone know? It is VAT at 17.5% (as delivery is pre-January 2011) and how do HMRC know how much I paid for it?
I Don’t know in the US, but in Denmark, we have 25% tax and additional 35 USD dollar for paper work… if it was shipped from EUK, it would be in the EU and no additional taxes would come….soooo
