i like the frame on the case, gives that antique look. compliment the shards which is supposed to be broken long ago. would welcome comments on my case...
> Nice frame. I believe it will be even better if the frames's background is black.

you mean main colour black with the so call cracks of another colour?
here's a pic to show how my removable part of my shards seems to be too weight unbalanced that it 'falls' forward and not upright? anyone there who has the shards also have this prob?

can i suggest u screw in the L-brackets which hangs the sword a bit more in-wards..should help..
but the unblance is natural...i mean..look at the pommel and the blade...the weight distribution is obvious..

oh i see, you meant the background?

i actually thought of getting red velvet, but would have to pay more and my dad feels white's nicer. wow these new emoticons are cool!
i actually thought not screwing it deeper would make it rest backwards a little so it will not lean forward. but i'll go take a look when i'm free and see how.

thanks for the support guys. rest assure if my contact can give me a better deal for any of the items, I'll pass on the savings to you guys.

I'll probably wait till Sunday night before placing the order for the MR FX Collectible Sting sword. To date, only noelchiew and Wander_fool have signalled their interest in the FX Sting sword.
I will not collect any deposit too. When I receive the product, you pay me the full amount after you have inspected it and you're satisfied with the condition. I just hope no one backs out after telling me they want an item.
My contact mostly deal with United Cutlery and Master Replica products but if you're interested in some other sword, I can ask my contact if they're able to get a hold of it. It would be good to provide me with the name of the item and the manufacturer. A picture would be even better.

here's a link to the MR FX Collectible Sting sword.

this was taken from the Master Replicas website for the FX Sting sword.
This authentic Sting sword replica was cast from molds used to create the original movie prop used in Lord of the Rings trilogy.

from the reviews and pics of the mr's sting. i can say i believe it's really a good buy. it's exactly like uc's BUT... it can glow! so of course it's better. PLUS, it doesnt look fakey/plastiky. that's the wonder of it. mr really had some secret manufacturing process to make it that way.
incredible, that's why i'm getting it. the only possible bad point i can think of is the quite lousy quality plaque compared to uc's. uc's much nicer in presentation. though mr's plaque enables you to display it on the table horizontal or vertical on the wall... cool...
so i think if you havent got uc's sting yet. and would like to have a sting, get mr's version.

hi ronnie bro, just saw your post after i pmed you about if you are getting the sting from ea. yeh the price is fine for me... i have the same thoughts as you. have pmed you ea...
and ea... since i've confirmed with you, i wont back out of it. unless of course the sword arrived with defects and the deal wouldnt be completed in the 1st place. hm... since we're getting from overseas, ea so all the uc's stuff and all we eventually get from you wont have any form of warranty?
Elven Archer
Jul 25 2004, 11:56 PM
warranty is not possbile noelchiew unless I do a 1-to-1 exchange with my contact but that will incur extra shipping cost.
bleahhh, I need to ask you this. is the blade for the MR FX Sting sharp? would you be able to use it to cut a piece of cardboard? I'm asking becoz UC's version of Sting has a sharp blade and you can use the sword to cut a fairly thick piece of cardboard.
noelchiew
Jul 26 2004, 12:18 AM
ok, just asking. doubt anything could happen to uc's products if you just take care of them. not like they will just rust badly or something... thanks for confiming.
hm... now that you mention it ea, if the mr's sting ain't sharp. then it wouldn't be considered as weapons by the police/customs? so it will not have probs bringing in eh?
Wander_fool
Jul 26 2004, 12:35 AM
i guess that there should'ent be a prob as other shops can bring the MR sting in for sale.. The mt sting for for display purpose only.

like wat they said on the website... the swords are a no no for dueling.

I doubt there would be problems with the MR FX Sting since the blade is made of polycarbonate which is essentially plastic. UC blades are made from steel.
