New ACW mortar from BGT

I got this from Auggie the other day and thought I'd share:

Over the past couple of years we've been hoping to produce some medium size artillery pieces but trying to find a secure facility inChina that was willing to do a short run of 100 pieces was futile up until recently. We are now pleased to announce our first artillerypiece will be a Civil War era heavy mortar. The facility made the pieces and our own factory will be assembling them.These are madeof a very high quality resin and two sacrificial test samples were dropped without any kind of breakage … these two test samples will notbe sold so actually only 98 pieces are available for sale. Because of the Chinese New Year, which begins February 6th , our production schedule will be delayed until the end of February whenthe factories, including our own, reopen for business. Although we know the cost of making the individual pieces, we do not yet know thecost for assembly, painting and shipping from our facility in China to the U.S.. We should know the final costs very soon, but we know thefinal retail cost will be under $500 and we're aiming toward $385.00 We know many people will indeed complain, and will not be willingto pay this amount, but the realities are that production costs are continually rising and the days of bargain basement prices are soon to be a thingof the past. This is a unique piece and not yet produced in 1/6^th scale, so this is a golden opportunity to purchase a very unique artillery piecethat will be a collectors item since we will only be producing a very limited production run and these will not be available anywhere except fromBattleGear Toys. Because we don't know the final price, we're not accepting any deposits at this time, however if you're sincerely interested and you're willing topay between $385- $485 then let us know so we can reserve one for you. We've attached a .jpg photo, if you have any questions please let meknow and I'll do my best to answer them. Best Regards,Auggie
