12/18/09 Update
Today is the day Im placing the order with the Machine Shop so Im locking the run list.

Thanks to everyone for your prompt payments.

12/10/09 Update

Ok Dudes, I’ve got the final cost for these Canisters.

First, a recap of what you're getting.

These Canisters will have 2 Machined Aluminum End Caps. The machine shop will start off with getting the outside diameter of the solid stock down to the correct size, then hallow out the inside to the dimension of the acrylic tube. The Caps are then going to have the 6 slots machined into them.

The main body of the Canister will be made of a Clear Acrylic tube, cut to the proper length, minus the thickness of the end cap so the overall completed length will be 14 inches long.

Then the part that has caused the most grief- the Rolled Aluminum Spacer plates.
Each Canister will have 2 rolled Aluminum plates that fit perfectly between the two end caps. They will be glued onto opposites sides of the acrylic tube.
When I say rolled plate, it means that the shop will take flat stock aluminum and roll it so it matches the diameter of the acrylic tube perfectly.
Here is a quote from the machine shop explaining why it is a difficult part to manufacture:

Charles

On the rolled part, that is right at the minimum for our roller so it gets to be a little tricky.
we will need to roll the part much longer than it needs to be and then we will have to cut it down to size so that make it a little expensive to do.

And Finally, The TGRI logo decals.
Pretty straight forward, black vinyl decals.
I traced TGRI letters from multiple screen shots of the film to get the “font” just right, and the size/spacing perfect.
Also, I've had a few requests for Comic style TCRI decals on their canisters, so that’s an available option if you prefer the comic version of the company name.

Ok, now the purchase details.

The lead time for the shop is roughly 6 weeks, add a week assembly time, and we’re looking at about a 50 day turnaround time.

This will be a pre-order run.

Also, I was hoping to have a prototype to show, but since Im trying to keep the cost as low as possible, I was unable to do so.
Again, a message from the shop:

Charles, to make two of these [end caps]would take us the better part of a day, the
cost to set up each operation would have to be divided into two parts, I
don't think you would be willing to pay what it would cost. This is why you
are seeing such a nice reduction from one quantity to another.

Just know that I have used this shop before and they do great work, and I’m not going to accept anything then perfection from any of my vendors on this project.

So, those interested please shoot me a PM to get on the list and I’ll send you payment instructions.

The shop lead time starts when I place the order, so try to get the payment in as soon as possible.

Thanks,
-Charles

Not that I want to burst your bubble man, but historically, the only canisters the fanbase has shown interest in are the actual props from the film.

cklinejr

12-01-2009, 03:18 PM

Thanks for your input, but to my knowledge no one has built/done a run of screen accurate replicas of the canisters.

Archon_Turtle

12-01-2009, 03:19 PM

there have been some on ebay over the years, which didn't sell.

But who knows! Maybe everyone on the board will want one of yours. I'm just saying that it hasn't ended well in the past, and I would hate for you to end up making a bunch of expensive props you can't sell. Just my 2 cents.

Maybe if you make it into a desk lamp or something other than just a prop it might sell.***

I got a quote back for the metal logo/spacer plate that was way too high, so Im waiting to hear back from some other machine shops. I hope to have a firm end price by the first part of next week.

No one from The Technodrome Forums wants a TGRI Canister? I thought you guys would be the most interested in them...

If I had the money, I'd be buying one. So far it looks like he has people working on this project that know what they're doing.

Thanks for the compliment thou! :D

Yeah, the majority of this run is happening on the Replica Prop Forum, where pre-order runs are common and unusually happen without incident.

Exactly, I mean, Not hating but Like Archon said, unless they are actual movie props,not alot of people will pay. Not a high price anyway. Anything over $50 really is overkill. Just out of curiosity, how much do these cost to make? Labor? But on top of that, gotta see a fully finished one first before any talk of a purchase.

***First of Two Latin Kings***

12-19-2009, 03:55 PM

I wish I had the money to splurge on one; I think these will be really cool. I have a lot of confidence in this guy's work.

Just out of curiosity, how much do these cost to make? Labor? But on top of that, gotta see a fully finished one first before any talk of a purchase.

Seriously? :-?

People who actually understand what it takes to make something like this (custom machined metal) know that this is an awesome price.

Someone who does a lot of customed machined parts said it best on the replica prop forum: That's going to take a good bit of stock to machine those end-caps.

Metal is crazy high right now. I don't think some people can appreciate how costly it's gonna be to make this thing.

And not thats its any of your business, but the metal ends caps ALONE cost more then $35 to make, EACH! -Then add to that the cost of the 2 rolled metal TGRI plates, the custom cutout vinyl Decals (2 sets per can) and the Acrylic tube, and you might start to understand where the cost of these are coming from.

And if you read the first post on this thread, you'll see that this is a pre-order run of parts.
There is no way Im going to get just 1 made, just so I can show you what its going to look like.
Its going to look EXACTLY like the ones in the movie.

And besides the cost to make that 1 to show would have been $250+ and that cost would have had to be spilt into the total cost of each canister, thereby raising the end cost even more!

12-19-2009, 05:13 PM

Well, like I said, NOT HATING, just saying. I dont know if anyone here knows or cares how much metal costs right now. I dont know how many of us are actually buying metal. lmao. I see you have lots of buyers. Great, good luck to you and them. I wouldnt even think of spending $140+ on something I havent seen first. But maybe thats just me. However, usually there is atleast 1 finshed product just to see exactly what you would be getting. And for $250 you could almost get an actual prop from the movie,if that. Just my opinion, not trying to fight or anything. Heck I think its great that someone is taking the time to even do this kind of thing.

You did read this thread right?? These have real metal ends.
Anyone who would want to get a canister would care how much metal costs.

And for $250 you could almost get an actual prop from the movie,if that.

Where?

12-19-2009, 07:28 PM

Yes I did read the thread and I understand they have real metal ends. Your point? Why would anyone who wants one of these care how much metal costs? I dont get it.

And there have been a few Ebay listings over the years,like Archon said. Those even had trouble selling.

cklinejr

12-19-2009, 07:53 PM

Nevermind, if you don't understand Im not going to waste anymore time explaining it.

turkishproverb

12-19-2009, 11:36 PM

cklinejr, don't take it too hard. Turtles fandom is odd. One of the many examples of that is they're relativelly low interest in reproduction props compared to similar groups (TF fandom, Who fandom, and Ghostbusters fandom.)

BoggleKng

12-20-2009, 01:01 PM

It all depends on how authentic the finished product is. I think you could sell it on Ebay, maybe not so much here...

Spitfire

12-20-2009, 04:19 PM

The thing is for less then 250 bucks I can get a statue of one of the turtles and I know what to expect. Granted it might be expensive to make we're in a recession right now. If you think people are willing to dump that much on a product they've yet to see even a prototype of you're in for disappointment. You'd also probably have gotten further on here making it TCRI, as more of us are into the comics then the movies.

It's a great idea. I'm sure when you're finished they will look awesome but we're all on tight budgets right now and I'm personally saving my extra cash for the officially licensed statue releases.

Consider this a dead thread.
No one here signed up, so posting this on The Technodrome Forums has just been a waste of my time.
I have only been updating it for the few that have had positive input and who I know would be interested in seeing how it turns out.

I decided to do this for the benefit of fellow Turtles Fans, not to make a huge profit.

***First of Two Latin Kings***

12-21-2009, 11:22 AM

Not dead yet. If you're still here, you have realize that that's just how it goes sometimes. You win some, you lose some...but most of the time you just lose. That's been my experience on these forums for the most part, but I'm not going to leave because that has been my experience.

I can't wait to get mine. Real or replica, still would look awesome at my house. You can even fill it up with anything you want. at the very least, you would be getting a really fancy canister for your pringles. its a win win!!

Ha, that actually sounds pretty sweet. I can just imagine serving guests pringles out of one of these.

I for one can't see myself spending that kind of money, but I would love to see the final product. If I had money to spare, I'd be more interested :D

Hey Charles I just saw this post over hear as well! I'm TheRealVenkman over @GBFans.

Just to let everyone know I'm getting 2 and I'll post pics as soon as I get mine. I got one from the first run (painted green) which should be coming Tuesday and another one from the second run unpainted aka 'DISPOSED'

Original canisters or not these things look fantastic. I've been looking all over the place for original props and cant seem to find much if anything. These are the second best thing and are going to look great on display. I recommend if anyone can spare the money to get one.

Also I've seen many of the ones that have hit eBay and I've never been impressed with them as compared to these. You're doing GREAT Charles!

The orders for the metal parts were placed last Thursday the 11th.
The 4-6 week shop lead time (as detailed in the 1st post) starts from the point the order was placed.

I'll keep posting updates as I have them.

Crap, I can't believe I missed this topic....

If you make a third run in a couple of months I'd definitely be up for it though, but you'd have to ship internationally..

I guess I should browse this section more often.

If you make a third run, I'd love to be a part of it!

I just got a call from the Machine shop, the metal parts are done.

I'll pick them up this afternoon and get to assembling them.
They should start shipping out in a week or so.

I need to look thru my left over parts (I still haven't built MY canisters yet!:lol: )

I think I have enough parts leftover for 1 canister.

I think the fairest thing to do is stick it up on ebay, that way everyone who wants one can have a chance at it.

I'll post when the auction is up (in about a week)

Hello TMNT Fans,

I've been getting a lot of requests for TMNT Ooze Canisters lately, so I decided I need to get a run going. (Sorry for making you all wait so long) :blush

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3291/4565592435_4cd5ee6cb9_o.jpg

I know some of you remember the details from my previous run, but I'll go over them again for the new folks.

These Canisters will have 2 Machined Aluminum End Caps. The machine shop will start off with getting the outside diameter of the solid stock down to the correct size, then hollow out the inside to the dimension of the acrylic tube. The Caps are then going to have the 6 slots machined into them.

The main body of the Canister will be made of a Clear Acrylic tube, cut to the proper length.

Each Canister will have 2 rolled Aluminum plates that fit perfectly between the two end caps. The TGRI logo decals will be applied to these rolled plates.

Like before, you will have the option for 2 versions, 'Active' and 'Disposed' AKA 'filled' and empty. :lol

The color of the green ooze was color matched to a screen used canister.

The cost of these canisters is $180 plus shipping, and for this run I'm going to offer a special price break. If you order 2 canisters the cost will be $300 plus shipping.

Shipping in the US will be $15
I will ship internationally and will quote shipping price on a case by case basis.

Unlike my previous run, this will not be a pre-order run, but I will require a $40 'good faith' deposit to hold your spot on the run, since once the order is placed with the machine shops, I'm stuck with the parts.
Deposits are due at the time your name is added to the list.
Final payments will be required at the time of shipping.

Machine shop lead time on these parts is about 6 weeks after the orders are placed, which I expect to place near the end of the month (to give everyone enough time to get signed up)

To get your name on the order list, Paypal your Deposit with your username in the notes to and post in this thread. Once I've confirmed receipt of funds I'll add you to the list.

cklinejr

Sorry I haven't posted any updates, work has been insanely busy these past couple weeks.

on the Canisters, I have been negotiating back and forth with the machine shop who makes the end caps for these, it seems they want to charge double what they've charged me for the past two orders I've placed with them.
Im waiting to hear his final word in the next day or so and I let everyone know.
If we can't reach a reasonable price, Im going to have to cancel the run and refund everyone's deposit.

More to come.

Unfortunately This run is over. Raise in manufacturing costs made it impossible to proceed.

Deposits are being refunded now.

So sorry everyone.

It's truly disappointing, but it was beyond your control and completely understandable. Thanks for the attempt and thanks for the prompt refund.

Hello,

I'm going to be selling my personal Ooze Canisters.

They were the best ones from Run 1.

I have a completed 'Active' green canister and two clear 'Disposed' ones that have not had the caps or plates attached. My plan was to make a cracked version that Master Splinter had but never had the time to do it.

I'd let them go for $250 each + shipping.

For those who missed the run years ago now is your last last chance to get one.

I am giving the Technodrome forum first chance at them, I'll list publicly on FB market, RPF in a few days.

Please read back through this thread for info on what these are made out of etc.

Looking at the pictures, seeing this is pretty much movie prop looks I wonder why 180$ and then even more 250$. Yes, I have not read through all the posts ever since post 1 but wondering what makes them this high-super-priced, especially as an overseas dude who would have to pay big time shipping and big time import fees.

In any way regardless if ooze is included or not I know it is going to turn bad over time no matter what ooze is in there or might be put in there. And that is besides the genuine movie look the most important thing to look, run and feel like the real movie object. Looks like a real catch to real fans but meh, 180 bucks upwards? No, does not sound like anything called a good deal, unfortunately.

That's too bad, FB groups has ruined so many great old Forums.
