Ive just come off the phone with the guys at Factory Entertainment who went through the background to the points they listed above.
IMO this is a great result for both sides and reflects very well on them as a business - since theyre clearly interested in the views of us fans - and are prepared to rectify issues if they occur.

Now having said that, since I tend to be pretty skeptical I have to ask this. Who thinks they actually had something in the works for SE buyers? If so, when all the uproar started why not say "Hey don't worry, we got something better than extra bullets planned for SE buyers!"

The mob can disperse for now.
Well here's some clues... there where two potentials we were looking at. Both of which needed to be cast from the originals, prototypes manufactured, get costed and then submit for approval before we could even think of announcing. Which would have taken at least 6 to 8 weeks... frankly just not enough time. They have to ship with the guns and we were too ambitious.
a) Could be seen as somewhat unhygienic
b) Was never seen on screen but is beautifully made prop.
b is more likely to make a solo appearance in the future. a is cool but is absolutely the definition of niche :-)
Thanks FE. Great news. Sorry for the harshness, for the record i didn't call you guys the red headed step-children, i said it made us feel like it and again my apologies to any red heads or step children who may have been offended by those comments.
Texas007, pm coming. I was just about to order a carton.

Hmm methinks that could've been a belt buckle and a third nipple...nice!

Any updates on other accepted payment methods being added? I've probably already missed out on the S.E, but I still would like to try and pre-order one on the off chance that they are still available.
not trying to burst anyones bubble here, but is it just me or could we have possibly maybe missed out on something better with the SE GG than the 5 extra bullets???? or is that just me??
We are not afraid to admit when we are wrong. So extra Golden Gun bullets for all it is then... We will be adding the bullets to the SE as well as the LE, because clearly that's what people want and we listen and act when we can.
Great job FQB! And thanks. I think the people here a such great collectors that they the best as possible and the SE buyers (like me) where feeling a bit down because we would miss the extra bullets.

I think they were working on something cool, but they were not going to have enough time to get it done before the guns were to be shipped out. Hope to see what they were working on released in the future.
Local hobby shop, get some white pvc tubing, won't know the size till we get the bullets. glue 5 short lengths together, trim to size the cut in half so you have five half tubes. eh voila
A big thanks to Gadget Meister, a packet of Chunghwa cigarettes arrived on my doorstep this morning. They look great and I can't wait for the bullets to arrive so I can set up the display properly!

BTW, it is a brand new sealed pack - can I ship them out like that? Is it legal?

As an SE purchaser, I can honestly say I went through all the emotions (or is that emoti-cons on here?) presented on this thread....
But the way FE felt the temperature and acted has to go a long way.... -{
As a certain marketing buddy of mine would say, listen to your customers and don't mess up - and when u of course do, act fast.
As to the sweetener that never was, I think ppw3o6r was spot on.....
always gotta be careful what you wish for...
I am located in Germany, PM me if you are interested.
