please excuse my ignorance but why are these so expensive? i've seen a few of them on ebay, all for around the same price. i have no idea what the original cost was, but any more than $250 seems kinda high. hope you're able to find a buyer.

They were custom machined pieces out of actual aluminum and the process is not a cheap thing. While the canister does have a great simplicity to it, the resources needed to put something this nice together was very costly. If you look at one of the threads on here there was a run of these being done, but was canceled due to the machining cost demanding double what they normally had before.

Mine was not cheap at all. You could get one made I'm sure from plastic pieces and such, but I would consider these more serious pieces who want something as close to what it would be if it were in real life. The metal and weathering is just awesome.

ok, that makes sense. still expensive for my tastes, but i do understand why now. it should make for an awesome collectible for any fan who's into tmnt movie props. thanks for the info.

i've had a few screen/production-used TGRI canisters over the years... these replicas are actually built better AND look better than the original props. several owners of original canister props supplied the builder with measurements, so they're pretty well 100%.

I never understood why they went with TGRI instead of the original TCRI. Anyone know?

They changed it for the 2nd movie because it wasn't supposed to have anything to do with the Utroms.

Selling still, just not via Ebay anymore. Some people keep trying to offer extreme lowball amounts for this amazing piece and I'm done with that.

This is low as I go on it. $250 firm USA shipped.

Thanks!
