Ready to preorder this bad boy? Looks pretty slick and it won't break the bank either. I like the display stand too. Only $49.95!

Wow, that looks great. Going to have a check at a few online retailers and see who has the best shipping rates. Nice price for sure.

Only $49?!? Cool!

I got the pre-order email from QMX this morning and didn't bother opening it; I figured the thing would be in the $300 to $500 neighborhood. But for $49?!? I'm in for TWO! :)

Hmmm it's photographed well. At that price surely it must have a more plastic feel to it than the photos let on.

Nice design though.

Keep in mind this is a STUNT replica. Those are typically resin based (plastic), sometimes metal plated (like this is). They can look and feel pretty hefty and "real" in your hand. Also keep in mind that unlike the toy version of this, there are no electronics, etc. It's a static prop. So, all that adds up to a pretty low-cost item. QMx seems to be going low end or very high end with not a lot in between. I still think it looks very sharp and it's a must buy for me. :)

I have an efx stunt Count Dooku Saber that is plated and made of resin. It has the weight of a resin prop, so I am guessing this will be similar to that. The picture makes it look shiny, it might not be a shiny, but I suspect the plating will look good, and give it a bit of a shine, based off what I saw in my Dooku lightsaber. Different companies, but I am expecting similar feel to the QMX Star Trek phaser like the stunt Star Wars props from efx.

Ah I see what you mean now.

Just placed my official order! Due to arrive next month! :)

From what I have read over on the RPF it is metal plated.

Obviously. It says that right on the web order page:

Got pesky Romulans lurking in the shadows? Or Klingons off the starboard bow? All you need to ward them off is this gleaming 1:1 scale, screen-accurate replica of the stunt phaser used in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek.

Our replica has been cast from a first-generation master of the screen-used phaser. Its solid polystone core is precision metal-plated in several finishes – steel, gunmetal, aluminum block and chrome – to create an exact match of the actual hero phaser used in the movie.

The QMx Enterprise Metal-Plated Phaser Replica measures 10.5" long x 7" high (grip included) and weighs more than one pound. It comes with a custom-designed display stand in smoke-colored lucite and includes a brass name plaque.

All this for just $49.95.

I'm all over this.

Some of the other Retailer places have these for even less. I think Redford films have it for something like 42.99 or around there
