Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device
Chell’s weapon of choice, accurately named Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, should start to appear in your favorite toy stores around April. We’re only making 5000 replicas, so this is a very limited run. You can expect them to sell out very quickly.
Here are some more details:
Dimensions: 30″ in length
Support: the replica rests fine on flat surfaces and does not ship with a base or stand.
Features: both orange and blue LED lights and unique sounds that correspond to each color.
Sounds: The lovely “portal-creating” sound we’ve become used to
A 3 way switch allows you to select blue, orange or off and when you pull the trigger you activate the ”firing” and sound. It requires 3 “C” batteries, not included.

Wow never heard of this, £99 from play doesn't seem that expensive either, not like the $650 for the Mass Effect M8 avenger replica....Admittedly that has a limited run of 500 not 5000 like the portal gun.

Play.com doesn't ship outside of Europe.
These were available for pre-order for about a month now @Gametraders.
If you can call your local store they may still have some allocations left??!

Where in Aus are you? any chance you want to split shipping?

Letrico
03-07-2012, 01:22 PM
Actually I already ordered one. the shipping for one is 66 USD and shipping for 2 is 95.05 USD. Saved around 15 USD for 2 person =D

1 Portal Gun = 66 USD shipping
2 Portal Gun = 95.05 USD -----> 47.56 per person
3 Portal Gun = 128.25 USD -----> 42.75 per person

I chose the option to pay only 20% unrefundable deposit and their system forces us to pay the shipping in advance so it will only charge us the remainder after the item is released.

I paid 88.73 USD to place the order.

I live near Melbourne CBD so if anyone is interested in combining postage I could email them to add a few more to my order.

EDIT:

I also contacted them regarding the packaging and they assure me it will be sufficiently bubble wrapped and filled with bubble packets and it will be packaged using a very sturdy box to prevent damage for international orders. They also claimed that they never had any overseas customer complaining about damaged goods too =D

03-13-2012, 12:46 AM
On NECA FB some peeps reporting they received an email from EntertainmentEarth (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/) telling them it's totally cancelled!?

I'm befuddled! It is completely cancelled or just some orders being cancelled due to over allocations?? :???:

Wheeks
03-13-2012, 12:50 AM
It looks like some retailers have misunderstood the communication from NECA and think it's never coming.

Either that or they have now realised that they oversubscribed.

I imagine any cancelled orders can be replaced once the situation is clarified.

E: Is play.com the only pre-order site in the UK for this?

Cosmic_Link

Official statement from NECA;

http://necaonline.com/33583/blog/press-releases/aperture-science-handheld-portal-device-clarification/

There has been much confusion around the details and release of our highly anticipated Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (ASHPD). We wanted to clarify a few things and put your minds at ease. First and foremost this item is not cancelled, it is very much on schedule, looking great and it will ship on time.

Last week it came to our attention that many retailers were pre-selling the ASHPD without knowing the final pricing, availability, and if they would even have inventory on this item. In some instances certain retailers that are not current NECA customers were pre-selling the ASPHD on eBay. We decided to remove our initial listing and story on our official website so that we could take the time to negotiate with a select group of reputable retailers that we will work with to pre-sell and retail this item at a fair price and in an organized fashion so that most importantly you, the customer, has the best possible chance to obtain this highly desirable collectible.

We anticipate shipping the ASHPD in early May and in the coming weeks we will list approved retailers on our website and facebook so you will know where and who you can purchase from without worry. In the meantime please enjoy this first look at the packaging design.

Apparently ThinkGeek had the Portal Guns on their site today for only US$139 w/free shipping to Oz. I'm guessing they only have a few to offer as it's all eaten now...no cake!

@V...'that's what she said' says they're very huge!!! Having all variants will take up so much room, and you wouldn't want to display them around your joint...very dangerous! You'd want to them really up high and secure or behind a perspex glass.

Never had a failed payment account :o

It is just a current account from my early teens that I can use to pay for stuff/put my subscriptions on so if I know I don't want to be paying out there is no overdraft for it to dip into.

IM SAD NOW

anime-island orders are cancelled

Dear customers, today we again spoke with N.E.C.A. and they told us that we will not be receiving the Portal Device as planned/ordered, We were told they have already chosen a 4 select retailers (see below for very short list) that will carry the item. The items price will be raised to a standard $139.99 thru these dealers and there will be no discounts we were told. Also NECA did say that there is a limit of 1 per customer for anyone who ordered/wanted two from these retailers. We are not affiliated with any of these companies but do know from experience that ThinkGeek is the most reliable compared to the rest of the list. We know also that brick and mortar stores will be getting a few, as this is one thing NECA wanted to make sure of. We are cancelling all the pre-orders and refunding them completely, all orders will be refunded by the end of today. Once again we apologize for this inconvenience and expected the list to be larger and we would be able to supply them to fill your orders. If there are any questions please let us know. Yuan.

Well shipping from Play.com to the UK is free so it would just cost getting it from the UK to Australia - given its size (from pics etc) it wouldn't be cheap - now this is a complete wild stab in the dark but it could cost around £30-40 again - that is a wild guess

I think it's more than that. shipping the SWTOR CE already cost around 68pound. Maybe the portal gun will cost 100 pound?

Hey its not your fault man!

My two old republics only cost 70 pounds to ship, maybe this would be similar?

Letrico

Dreamcazman
03-22-2012, 10:50 PM
i knew someone would ask.

ThinkGeek.com

ToyNK

Anime Corner Store

Anime Wild

this is the 4

lol, Thinkgeek have sold out so I checked the shipping costs with ToyNK - $150! :nosleep:

Couldn't find the gun on the other two sites.

Dreamcazman
03-22-2012, 11:02 PM
I just found this (http://necaonline.com/33642/blog/press-releases/approved-pre-orders-for-portal-replica-device-start-today/) on Neca's website.

I checked Rocking Robot and Corner Store Comics. Both have the guns available, shipping to Australia is around $100. Still expensive, brings the gun up to $240 or thereabouts. Not sure if it's still worth it or not. :shrug:

What are you guys (fellow Aussies) planning to do?

Letrico
03-22-2012, 11:10 PM
does rocking robot do international shipping?

I have no idea what to do man. I wanted to wait for some other forum member to check if there are any more stock in their nearby gametraders. I'm more scared of it being sold out before I could make a decision The price is almost 100 more than what I initially pay in anime-island lol

RR will post internationally for $99, the comic store is $103 but it's express international (probably the best to use).

I feel the same, don't know what to do. Even though Neca put their price up $20, postage from these other stores is roughly $40 more so $60 total than Anime-Island :(

I doubt you will find anymore here from any Gametraders, I suspect we got bugger all units, maybe 2-3 per store if we're lucky.

Matrix6
03-23-2012, 12:33 AM
I can't say Neca can be blamed for these cancellations. Those retailers were probably not authorized to start making preorders anyway?? Neca needed to make allocatiassumptions they were permitted to take allocations/deals, but some companies made the assumption they were getting it. As far as I was told, only Gametraders were permitted to take orders in Oz and limited to 300 units for the country.

Jadezfire
03-23-2012, 02:03 AM
Im wondering if its limited to 1 per person but it allows you to preorder more and you pay for it will you only get 1 and a refund for the other?

Jadezfire
03-23-2012, 02:56 AM
Ok I guess they will cancel your order? I want to order 2 of these one for myself and one for a friends birthday. I wonder if I could order 1 from 2 seperate companies..

is anyone else worried about the quality of the sounds - now before anyone jumps on me i know it is a youtube video so the audio quality might not be the best also you'd need to have it in your hands before you make an opinion but i'm just saying - i hope they spend a little more and make the sounds realistic - not like one of those figures from the 90's that made sounds etc that really just sounded like white noise

vhal_x
03-27-2012, 12:26 PM
Yeah the sound does sound kinda shitty - but the music in the video doesn't help, nor does the fact it's a video - here's hoping the sound is better, and if not - hey, at least it'll look good on display :) xx

themidlandmaster

davidw
04-02-2012, 12:57 PM
Yes. yes they are but.... like vhal_x said it could be the quality of the video etc but at the end of the day i don't think many people will be buying on the basis of the sounds alone - that is just an extra in my opinion - it is the portal gun after all :)

Cosmic_Link
04-02-2012, 01:05 PM
As said above, could just be the quality of the video. Chances are, like my 2 lancers, it won't see a set batteries throughout it's life anyway so I'm not all that arsed about the sounds tbh! lol

Sold out now - don't know if they are going to get more since they say 'initial allocation' but i doubt as it is meant to 5000 worldwide if i remember correctly...

vhal_x
04-03-2012, 11:55 AM
Woot! Got the email too, they probably mean that it's the allocation they were given to begin with, they might get a tiny bit more depending on whether or not NECA have allocated them all out, but chances are they won't.

Wonder if anybody's orders were cancelled?

So glad that mine is confirmed though :banana: xx

Slightly disappointed with Play I have to say!

Packaging was alright - a bit scuffed and dented, but I'm never one for packaging anyway.

But the gun itself has a small dark scuff mark on the white plastic at the back, and a small scratch on the see through element of the barrel.

It's not bad but it's certainly not pristine - but of course, Play don't keep extras for potential returns so it's the age old collectors dilemma - keep it non-pristine or not have it at all!? :)

I opted to keep it and Play gave me a £20 discount - thought that was a little on the low side, but oh well, what can you do!

Raasclark
05-24-2012, 11:26 AM
Got mine today too. Packaging wasn't too bad for me. Could have been slightly better though I guess...

Problem though if anyone here has got advice. Bought a second one for a buddy in Canada. Took it to Royal Mail and they said I needed a courier. So took it to DHL and they quoted £205!!! : (

davidw
05-24-2012, 11:33 AM
Also just got mine before - packaging was actually very good from Play.com - large box, bubble wrap around the packaging etc - the actual gun does have a few scuffs/marks on it but nothing too much - would have been nice to get a stand with it? unless it can stand on its own but nonetheless an awesome piece to have in the collection - it is a 1:1 scale replica of the portal gun at the end of the day - how is that not cool :)

Use parcel2go and send via fedex. I got a quote for a GoW lancer to Oz and was only about £90. It's still quite expensive, but better than £200... :S

Use this site to export

Used them more than 50 times and are excellent service, using the dimenssions of mine, it should cost you around £40-50 depending on the size of box you use.

Bear in mind though they use both DHL and UPS - DHL may not carry it as they are very strict against anything resembling a weapon of any kind - i shipped GOW lancer with them and they refused saying it was 'dangerous goods' :rotf:

but then again UPS will charge a brokerage fee to those in canada so contact them and ask if ok with this

Couple of teeny marks but nothing major.

However, I do think I'll cancel my P-Body one as I don't really think the quality of plastic and that is really £100 worth tbh, even taking into account the limited run of 5000 worldwide.

Couple of teeny marks but nothing major.

However, I do think I'll cancel my P-Body one as I don't really think the quality of plastic and that is really £100 worth tbh, even taking into account the limited run of 5000 worldwide.

Kinda with you on that - for the price tag it could've been higher quality.

yeah i wouldn't see the point of having the p-Body one as well as this one either - it's a tough one as i'm not sure it's worth £100 but then what else could they have made it from - plastic seems more accurate to the real thing, metal would have been too heavy and would have just seemed weird anyway i do think it is well made but i know what you mean it is a little too plasticky - not to worry but this is the same thing that makes me wary of these sort of props like the GoW Lancer or M8 Avengers they cost so much money and at the end of the day they are just plastic...

Got mine today too!
However mine seems to be in perfect condition :)

P.s chasing the dog around the house with it was well worth £100!

I can safely say that my Portal gun was also flawless! :D Just need to get some batteries for it to test it... >.< Still intend on getting the P-Body gun too! :D

It's not so much being made out of plastic that bothers me - I think both of my Lancers are great things, got them rather crudely mounted on the wall with some chain from B&Q - it's the quality of plastic that is my issue.

For £100 I can't help but think that it feels, well, more like a Nerf gun does than either of my Lancers do because it's that smooth and slippery, almost cheap plastic. Also with this the one bit I was disappointed about was that the prongs on the front are plastic rather than metal, don't know why I just expected metal as it would look better and be more durable for such a delicate piece.


I'm still happy I got it but I'm not so pleased about the quality for, as I've mentioned a few times, such a high price.


Originally I ordered the P-Body one too since I thought it would be nice to get a whole set of them as I'm sure the Atlas one is inevitably going to be announced later but after getting this one I'll save the extra £200 for stuff coming soon like the Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot edition.

Just wondering, but anybody who got a portal gun which wasn't from play.com, did the box come with a shitload of tape keeping the end flaps closed? I think it looks really crap on the box and I'm wondering whether it came from NECA like that or whether it was something play.com were doing in the warehouse... :S

I never bough one, but is the sound as bad as it sounded on the demo stuff? By contrast, I thought the lancer was awesome!

I preordered the P-Body version but I am still debating whether or not it will be worth the money. Part of me wants all three then the other part of me cant justify the cost since I have the first model. :/

Grabbed some batteries for it today and the sounds are definitely much better than the original youtube video was showing! lol Very loud and very crisp. Scared the shit out of me because I wasn't expecting it to be quite so loud! XD

Here's some pics of it all lit up and awesome like! ^o^

Thanks a lot! Just ordered one! Just one question, is that site reliable? I know, kind of silly of me to ask after I've already ordered, but still...

I'd assume so since that's the official NECA site haha xx

I also ordered one on entertainmentearth. Do you think they'll cancel both my orders since I got one on each site? Here's the thing though, the reason I ordered one just now is because even though I ordered one on entertainmentearth, I'm pretty sure that my entertainmentearth order will not go through. I ordered it well after it went for sale; and when I confirmed my order, it said that I ordered 0 of 0 items, or something along those lines; and in the grand total field it said $0.00

It's strange I know, but that's just the way it happened.

So I ordered one just now in case my entertainmentearth order does not go through, which in all likelihood will not go through anyway.

vhal_x
06-07-2012, 09:28 AM
It is one order per person, but I don't see them being able to check you haven't ordered one on each site, so it should be fine :)

Yeah that does seem a bit odd, at least if that one fails, you'll have this one :) xx

Mine's still in the box in my basement. I don't think I realized just how big it was gonna be, and I really don't have too much space for it. The new (co-op) gun looks really cool too...I'll have to hold off though without room for my first one

Hey kitty,

Not sure where in Aus you are, however there are plenty of game traders in Vic that still have this if you want it. RRP is $200.

If anyone in US wants one (brand new unopened), I will sell it for $160 (what it cost me) + calculated shipping. PM me.

googled a bit about the P-Body cave johnson version exclusive to SDCC

am i right to say, all they did was slap on an autographed photo in the box, and pasted a sticker on the box exterior?

Yeah, that's what I've heard. No difference with that gun and the one you can buy at retail, besides what you mentioned. lol

Also, did you guys see that the Atlas guns (http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/33742083/0/Valve-Portal-Prop-Replica-Aperture-Science-Handheld-Portal-Device-Atlas-version/ListingDetails.html) are up for order on play.com?

There is also this (http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/33742108/0/Valve-Portal-Device-Prop-Replica-Display/ListingDetails.html), which I think is absolutely scandalous! >.< How can they get away with charging £65 for something which should have been included with the gun in the first place...? -_- Just a license for them to print money.

I'm very disappointed with how NECA have been with the Portal guns. Was awesome when they released the original one which they said was limited, then they made more and stuck some go faster stripes on because people were crying that they never got one and NECA saw a nice way to cash in again... -_- Terrible cpmpany... :(

07-23-2012, 09:31 AM

I'm a bit late to the party but does anyone know if it's possible to get the original replica gun for anything near the RRP? Had a quick look on eBay but it's going for double that and more, people are even paying over the odds for the P-Body version which is still available at Play.com! :uhh: Not to worry if not, I know it's a long shot :)

You're at the mercy of eBay on the original replica. It's not available anywhere else for cheaper as far as I know.

Thanks for the response. I thought as much! Bit of a shame, it does look amazing but not necessarily worth the eBay markup. Good buy for those that got it on release however!
