Here are the assembly instructions for the kit!

Welcome to the long awaited purchase page!
If you have received a link here it's because you have previously e-mailed me about interest
in owning a replica of the Trigun pistol. Because I am a firm believer in disclosure, I want
everone to know what they are, and are not receiving when they buy a kit from me.
I'm spelling this out as plainly as possible so there will be no misunderstandings. I realize
that this may not be the best way to make a sale, but I know I'd want this level of information
if I was making a purchase of an item such as this.
What you WILL receive...
A multi-piece kit that the majority of the parts are made from plastic resin, with additional parts cast from white metal (pewter).
All the parts you need to make this kit except for paint, glue, sandpaper and hand tools.
Reasonably detailed assembly instructions with pictures/diagrams.
My appreciation for sticking with me over the last 2 - 3 years as this project slowly dragged on, and on, and on... ^_^
What you will NOT receive...
A full metal replica.
A "functioning" replica. It won't shoot. Anything. Ever.
This kit will not, and can not, be modified to shoot real bullets.
This kit will not, and can not, be modified to shoot real bullets. (I don't want there to be any confusion on this point).
Instructions on how to make this into an airsoft gun. This has been done in Japan... Four times... EVER.
And each time it was done, the person took a different route to get there. You might be able to do it yourself,
but I think it would be a tough job to do and probably end up costing a lot of time and money. I may make another
web page that has the photos I was able to find on Japanese web sites. The photos are... less than clear at times.
Any other kind of hype that makes this kit out to be any cooler than it already is. And I think
it's pretty darn cool. You must think so too, or you wouldn't be here right now. ^_^
Ala Carte Shopping...
There are several purchasing choices available to you.
You may choose any of the following options...
Please Note: If there are no purchase buttons shown, it's because the kits have sold out.
I generally do not take orders for items I don't have on hand, ready to ship. I make the kits in
6 - 10 unit groups, so when there are active buttons, items are ready to ship!
NOTE: Please allow up to 2 weeks (That's 14 business days) for delivery!
Normally, all kits are shipped within 4 days of receiving your payment, barring Federal Holidays and
weekends. Keep in mind also that the USPS delivers Monday through Saturday and does NOT
deliver on Sunday.
Option 1
One (1) Single kit, with all parts (grip, barrel, cylinder, trigger, hammer, etc.)
and your choice of ONE (1) Vash or Knives style cylinder.

Option 2

and BOTH a Vash And Knives style cylinder (for those who can't make up their minds. ^_^).
Also, if you paid attention at the beginning of the series, you'll notice that Vash's pistol DID have
a fluted cylinder originally like Knives' pistol does, so you could paint both silver and go Old School
Vash if you like (Prior to episode #3).
Your Cost: $159.99 Shipping & Handling included in the USA.
One Kit Both Cylinders:
Option 3
Two (2) kits, with all parts (grip, barrel, cylinder, trigger, hammer, etc.)

This is an 'Upgrade' part for those who purchased a kit from me previously.

I'm sorry about the cost of the replacement set, but the amount if resin used is large enough
that I'm unable to offer them for free.

One (1) Grip Set: $24.99 - SOLD OUT!
Two (2) Grip Sets: $45.99 - SOLD OUT!
Payment instructions
Above are direct payment buttons for Paypal Payments. I've never had any issues with paypal,
and they seem to be the most secure and fast payment method around. They also allow you to pay with
a credit card, which many people like to do. They are owned by eBay the worlds largest online
auction site so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that working with them will be secure.
I will also accept postal money orders in US FUNDS. E-mail me if you'd like to place an order
and pay with a money order.
I also may accept cash, in US Funds. I don't like doing this, mainly because you never know if your envelope
will make it to it's destination safely. If you send cash, and I don't receive it, I'm NOT responsible.
Paypal is the safest way to do this, and it doesn't cost anything to sign up.
You may ask, 'How do I know you won't keep the cash and not send me anything?'
Because I'm pretty honest. I have (as of 8/22/2007) 301 positive feedback on eBay with NO negatives.
And I've been buying and selling there since 1998. I treat others as I would like to be treated in
a buying/selling situation. If I receive your payment, you WILL receive your shipment.
Assuming of course that UPS / FedEx / USPS doesn't lose it somewhere along the way. ^_^
Shipments are normally shipped USPS Priority Mail with SIGNATURE confirmation.
Shipping
I have a few rules/regulations regarding shipping...
I ship EVERYTHING with USPS and include SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION. This means that someone will
need to be on hand at the delivery location to sign for the package. If you want an item shipped
by UPS or FedEx, it will cost MORE. I am willing to do it, but it will cost you a bit more.
I am willing to ship to a location other than your confirmed Paypal address, but I will NOT
be responsible if you never receive the package. Personally, I have everything I buy delivered to
my work address as I'm always at work, and if I'm not there's someone there who will sign for items.
Some people work in places where that's not possible. Some have packages shipped to Grandma's house.
Whatever works for you, just so you understand that in the 1/1,000,000 chance your package never arrives,
I'm not responsible.
In the unlikely event that a piece arrives BROKEN, you need to contact me ASAP and I will provide
a replacement for the broken part as soon as I am able. This applies to most major kit parts except
the trigger of the revolver assembly. Since I ship that piece bolted IN the grip frame, there's really
no way it could break.
International Shipping: I have not yet figured out a blanket shipping fee for international shipments.
I will do so in the near future. If you're not in the USA, and really want a kit, contact me with your
shipping address and I'll try to get shipping costs figured out for your destination.
Shipping, Part 2...
International Buyers:
Malaysia: I am UNABLE to ship to Malaysia because apparently
they have a ban on replica weaponry of ANY kind. Ownership is
punishable by up to TWENTY YEARS in prison. Sorry!
Canada: Canada also has a ban on replica weapons. Now, if you really want a kit, I can attempt to spray paint the thing blaze
orange which should make the customs nazis happy. Obviously,
you'd need to sand and repaint the kit. Unless you really like the
blaze orange look. ^_^
United Kingdom: As of October 1, 2007 the UK ALSO has a great replica weapons ban.
I'm NOT sure how this would impact the import of this kit. Again, I could paint
the thing orange to get by the customs nazis if you want to risk it. If it gets
confiscated, you'd only be out 70 UKP or so with the current exchange rate. ^_^
Australia: Australia's government also has a replica ban in effect.
I've heard of people having things like Aliens Pulse Rifles and Star Wars blasters confiscated.
It's good to know that the country that brought us Mad Max is protecting it's citzens
by banning toy guns. Oh, sorry, that was sarcasm. I wish I could help you guys out, but the
last time I tried sending a replica there it got tagged and was destroyed. Don't worry folks,
it won't be too long before they enact such policies in the USA...
I currently do not have international shipping rates available.
I will be happy to ship internationally, but like everything, there are a few issues
to overcome...
Duty/Import Fees: I can file a lower value claim to reduce the import fees people in the UK
may be assessed, but in NO WAY will I be responsible for them. Sorry. The value of the US dollar is
low enough already, (currently, the UKP is almost a 2 to 1 ratio with the USD!) and I'm not making much on the kits
as it is.
Insurance: Insuring international shipments are... tricky at best. I can try it if you
want to pay for it, it's up to you.
Tracking numbers: Tracking packages internationally is also a tricky business at best.
If you want your shipment tracked, you'll end up paying more for the shipping. But, not tracking it is
also a risky business. Packages DO get lost in the mail when shipping internationally. Heck, sometimes
it happens in the USA.
If you're still not scared off by all this, I'm willing to work with you to get you your kit. :)
