strap yourself in...
There was a 3D printer sale. ~$1000 off retail price brand new.
followed all their stupid rules. Got onto the system, secured a unit (i know that i secured a unit because my code was still valid) and then everything went screwy and when i was forced to log out and back in again the option to buy was gone.
that was 4 hours ago and im still the angriest ive been in a very long time
not happy jan:mad:

What do you want it for? If it's to make stuff like Dr. Wu or other 3rd party parts you might be really disappointed with the quality. Even the BEST 3D printers can't create detail less than 0.02mm in detail. Micron measurements are just BS marketing talk.

They have 3D printers now?!?!! I have been in the dark lately then...:(:)
EDIT: Oh, plastic printing. Still pretty awesome though, even for ridiculous pricing. Sorry for ya.

The technology's been around for a while. Mainframe Entertainment used 3D scanning of the Beast Wars toys when creating the cartoon models, and some other toy companies have long done 3D scans of celebrities to create toys (e.g. WWE). But yeah, now more recently it's become available commercially for private home use.
I was listening to a story about this on Triple J last week -- one thing they discussed was rather the possibility of supplying replacement parts to customers by selling the design for 3D printing. You purchase the download of that part, then 3D print it yourself. This could make 3rd party stuff a lot cheaper -- rather than paying say for some custom 3rd party head for a Transformer toy, you pay a fraction of that price to download the design then just 3D print it yourself at home.
HasTak could also take advantage of this too -- they could provide special accessories that would only appeal a limited market like collectors. And they could also service customers looking for replacement parts. Imagine if they reissued accessories available for download.
