Hey everyone! I just wanted to take a few minutes to answer a question that I tend to get all the time. The biggest one lately is
"When will you be getting back the 300 Spartan Shield from the movie 300?"
The answer to this question actually sucks but... the answer is never.
Here is the deal. Typically when a sword manufacturer buys the rights to a movie sword they also must agree to have at least 1 limited edition piece. Such an example is the limited edition Eragon sword. Luckily, in this case, the manufacturer continues to create the non limited edition collectors piece and other than the serial number, its an exact Eragon movie replica.
That is not the case with the 300 movie swords. In this case, they made a limited edition Spartan shield and only made 300 of them...go figure (can ya see the irony here) and once sold, those items are gone for good. The mold is broken never to be manufactured again. Unfortunately, they did not plan on a non limited edition shield. Most of the time, this never happens but not in this case.
I will say this. Although gone forever, these spartan shields were made from a poly resin plastic and in my personal opinion are not worth the hefty price tag they came with. You may find some of these 300 shields on Ebay but I will bet you they will be way higher than suggested and are being sold by either;
A. Someone who buys stuff for the sole purpose of jacking prices way up or,
B. Someone that purchased this movie collectible with the intentions of keeping it as a quality addition to their collection but when they got it realized it was not that great and so they are trying their best to get rid of it while its still hot.
Either way you slice it up (no pun intended) the rest of the 300 movie props are fantastic! Especially the 300 Spartan sword. This thing is gorgeous and made from carbon steel which is almost unheard of in a movie prop replica. Go
visit our website and get one while it's
HOT!
So in closing, I hope this helps you understand how it all works and we hope you enjoy your stay on our site.
