Also keep in mind Roadie that theres a problem with weapons being shipped overseas. I really had some trouble when got mine. When buying such a thing on ebay CLEARLY point out to the seller that the item should be shipped as a MOVIE or TV PROP REPLICA, or else you will get a nice call from the custom office.

Lol yeah I agree I would rather have Wayne make me a replica than buy the factory X one. Plus there's never any ones on the UK ebay site anymore. There's some on the US ebay but there's no way that I would buy one from the US... the import customs tax would probably be £100 so it's not worth it! You should check European eBay as well such as France, Italy and Germany. I found some of rare items on those sites and with Google Translate its not an issue to compose a message on any of those languages (though would recommend taking whatever the translator gives and translate it back to English to see if the grammar makes sense...in some case you might need to simplify the phrases in order for the translator to catch on the context).

LOL yeah good point!! I guess explaining to customs that 'into generation a slayer is born...' probably wouldn't go down very well that's another reason why I wouldn't want to get something that big and weapon-y from the US. It would be too much trouble seemingly but then again I think Wayne's scythe is a lot better! Lior - good point as well. I don't usually look on many other European ebay sites!! Thank you!

I agree you are looking for $700-$800 at best. However given those are unique - personally I'd be more than happy to part with this kind of money for a real replica of the Scythe. I kinda figure that but I agree, I would rather spend the $700 on a replica from Wayne that spend that kinda of money for the Factory X version. I don't know if I'd ever be able to afford that but... and if anyone knows any good Euro sites they have used in the past for Scythes or other props please PM links!

Well Im from europe and I can say that all those props like the Orb, the Book and the Scythe were allready hard to get in the U.S, not a big amount have made its way to europe, TBH I have never seen a scythe on ebay germany or italy, or did know a retrailer who had one.

^Yeah I've always assumed that. I mean all the props were produced in the US right? So it would be more likely to find them at all or cheaper here...not only that but cheaper shipping too. meh. I hate that I want this Scythe so bad. lol.
