I think its a great idea to offer it to everyone. Keeping the exclusive items exclusive should satisfy the people who bought one already. (Most of them, but people always find a way to complain).
I think offering it for everyone is what this hobby should be about.
Blaspemy, offering more of my limited slide box!?!?!?!
To be honest, I thought you made it clear that you were only doing one run because it was a headache for you, not because you were keeping it exclusive... no problems over here.
It was both, I'm a big packaging nut, I design packaging and premiums for video game LE's (limited editions) and I love bells and whistles. I knew I was pleased with the evidence bags and tins, and definitely wanted those to be exclusive items. And yeah you're also right, the labor of assembling the finished kits was a lot on my limited plate, so that was a big reason in wanting to be done with it.
If I consider a v2, and it's all kits with the option of having V-Raptor's miniature painter handle the assembly and painting, and taking that off my plate, it's a definite possibility.
Let's wait to see if they are even interested, once I get a return PM/Email I will decide from there.
Thanks for the feedback!
That's where my thoughts are. I was extremely proud of how the project turned out, and even more excited about the reception to the collectors packaging, I know 100% for sure that a possible V2 would not have those things, it would be a basic kit minus the glam. I have already sent a feeler PM to V-Raptor to inquire with their painter to see if they might have interest in a small run. If they are, their fees and costs would be their own on top of the kit.
Would love to hear from more DX purchasers to get your thoughts on this.

That sounds like a great idea . I missed the 1st one because i was broke , i still am but i can make it happen this time , i really need this .
I can deal with not having a tin and an evidence bag
If it still comes the way you made the 1st one , which is badass , then count me in brother
Wanted to get some feedback from you guys who have followed and supported this project.
The version of this that has already ran is what I consider a V1 DX, it had all of the bells and whistles the kit could have. Also it was a limited edition and I promised once the edition was closed no more of that version would go out to keep it a bit more exclusive.
Since I am getting several emails and PMs a month from people who missed out or just found out, I am toying with the idea of a 2.0
From the standpoint of accuracy, it's as accurate as it can be considering I have a real 1:1 replica I modeled it from, so a 2.0 would not be a rework.
If I were to consider a 2.0, are there any suggestions on what to do differently? The most obvious would be a non DX, a very basic kit, no evidence bag or hand painted collectors tin, but all the parts would still be included.
Would love the opinion of those of you who got the DX and those that missed out.
Thoughts?
