    Wow. That's actually kind of tempting!

    Are they going to be a limited production run?

    They are already being listed on eBay for almost $200 over cost... haven't checked to see if any have actually *sold*...

    Tons of skill going into this. Not quite my cup of tea, but I certainly wouldn’t turn down one as a gift.
