Securing a SE Golden Gun

Is there any chance we could all get a group buy together and secure these at a wholesale price ? or at least secure some for them that wants an SE.

Any ideas ??? Mantis ?

    I will have to let Factory Entertainment weigh in....I believe they are on the board now...

    Well, if pre-ordering would become an option, please count me in for a signed one.

    So who is up for doing the leg work :D I would do it, but I'm sure there are better connected people on here that would do a better job :p

    So who is up for the Job ? so we can get a list started.

    OK David, if you do that, see what he has to say on the matter. I would love to know that I had one secured, and wouldn't mind paying in advance, if that is what it takes, maybe Barry can give you an idea of how many units we would have to buy before we could get a trade price.

    Directly from Factory Entertainment:

    Here is our plan for the Golden Gun. Both versions will go on pre-order as soon as we have absolute confirmation from the factory that the quoted shipping dates will be met. We don’t want to break any promises or let people down which is why we are being conservative and waiting. Frustrating I know but we don’t want to start bad habits and would rather exceed people’s expectations if we can. We are working 110% on getting the gun out ASAP, but want it done right and don’t want to rush any part of it.



    As soon as we have confirmed dates we will open the preorder, this will be announced in an email and through our website.



    In advance of that; anybody who contacts us before the opening of the pre-order will be placed on a wait list and will receive the option to place a priority pre-order first. They will be able to pre-order either version. We will contact them via email advising the relevant details before we open the preorder and asking them if they want to place a pre-order based on their early interest, in a first come first served fashion. As soon as these first priority pre-orders are satisfied we will open the general pre-order.



    The SE editions will be priority to direct customers first, to ensure that as many people as possible get one and no scalping occurs. We will NOT be offering the SE version at wholesale to retailers or resellers until all direct demand has been met, and then will only be offering it to established wholesale customers that we have a relationship with and who have supported us previously or key ‘Bond’ retailers who have a vested interest in the brand and products. Perhaps a little draconian but we want to make sure people who really want these get them and that they do not become an Ebay meal ticket for carpetbaggers.



    We hope to be able to announce pricing and pre-order information in late Jan. In the meantime any interested parties should email us to get themselves on a waitlist, either myself directly or any of the email addresses here. http://www.factoryent.com/contact.html Put the subject ‘Golden Gun SE Wait List’ in the email to make it easy to identify.

    If I remember correctly, I've seen Golden Gun on the forum. What are the other options, versions that have been made in the past or present?

    Is this the best I can get? :)

    imo, the SD gen 2 was brilliant.

    this new gg sounds like a good equal.

    mick's aint for sale so wipe that idea.

    Do you have links for the other Golden Guns that were available?

    Oh Jesus, I've looked again at the description given on their site. How cool is it! 400 limited pieces, you can assemble it, it's gold plated and signed by Bond and Scaramanga!

    Good god, I hope I will be able to afford it.

    I know that no prices are out, but do you have an idea of what it could look like, based on the ones sold in the past?

    I'm tempted to pre-order (or put my name down at least), but it really does depend on price - have we no 'ball-park' figure yet ?

    You need to get you name down, at least that way you will get an offer to buy the Golden Gun in advance, if it is out of your price range then you can say no.

    I think with the limit on this it will fly out :)

    You are probably right - I just don't want to waste my time with an e-mail to them :))

    I figure it's pretty much going to be out of my price-range - or certainly more than I'd want to pay anyway ;)

    I'm with you. I'm tempted but would like a ball-park figure before signing up.

    I'm scared of the price.

    This too worries me as I've been interested in getting my hands on a golden gun since seeing adverts for the original SD Golden Gun way back when... but in the current economic climate I'll find it hard to justify an expensive 007 purchase to myself and my good lady wife... but then again do have a birthday approaching in February..... I'm thinking that "Money Please" might be a good phrase.

    Yeah, me too. We might pull it off.

    If they're going for that, I'll have two :D Wouldn't be surprised if you could add like $ 1.000,- to that...
