We have been asked this MANY times this month, so we thought to share with the community that we will be completing our 1/25 scale Ultimate Bruce Shark Collector's Set with both the 3D Bruce and the Revenge Bruce maybe as soon as middle of Q1 2014; dependent on the -as yet unsettled- start date for our next FX contract. Yes, the prototypes are done. As a family and work force of 6, we cannot handle the additional workload that releasing one or both of them would entail at this time.
Remember, we are not like those corporations that promise complete sets but then don’t deliver. Everything that we have promised we have fulfilled. The Ultimate Collector’s set will be completed soon. Who knew that just soon after releasing the first shark in the set that we would be contracted for providing the FX monster stars for 3 SyFy films in a row? What an incredibly busy year! We even accomplished a move to a smaller house in there somewhere too! But during those times we were still able to not only keep up on orders but we also released the 2nd shark in that collector’s set as well. Bruce 3D and the Revenge Shark are coming. Soon. We have a lot to share, but not all the time in the world. So, if you are considering collecting one of our SCO sharks then we seriously urge you to do so while we are in-between these movie contracts. Our prices are lower than anyone's, even our own since 2008; AND we offer easy interest-free Flex Pay options. Nobody else has, is or probably can release such incredible & accurate sharks, so large as these and so well constructed as these, especially for these insanely low prices. They simply would run themselves bankrupt. The profit to labor plus expense ratios is so low that you would have to have an extremely hard working and dedicated family of at least six members living on a small farm raising their own food to be able to make it work. Yep. Just imagine owning such a fine historically accurate film shark like one of ours for much less than many hero and monster collectibles half the size are sold for by those big companies. And we make it all right here in America ourselves, not imported from China nor outsourced to Mexico. Six Americans out of Missouri provide all the labor and love for each shark and each stand and all the other work involved. Small business is what made America. As it stands we have more than received the number of orders that we expected with the release of these 2 newest 1/8 scale sharks. We are confident in our goal to make sure that all paid in full sharks up to this date are delivered before Christmas. We feel that we can make many more for a Pre-Christmas ship out IF our next film contract holds off to its Q1 2014 Pre-Production start date as expected. IF you want it for Christmas, but you have not ordered or paid in full yet then we highly recommend such. We do not wish to pressure, so if having it by Christmas is NOT a goal for you then please do not overextend yourself. We are just attempting to meet the needs of those that want such. Nothing more. As it is we have a lot of work here to accomplish so I end this update with a HUGE thank you to all of you that are so kind and encouraging to us. Our whole family especially thanks you friends for sharing these sharks, photos and links on facebook, forums and in emails to other friends and fans. More publicity ALWAYS helps! And we’ll kindly take all the help that you can give! We wish you all an EXCELLENT weekend. Live it up! Mike & Cathy

As promised, we are in the process of sending out emails to everyone that has written in requesting to be notified 24 hours ahead of the rest of the world. These emails contain links to the All New 1/8 scale 3-foot Shark, the "other" All New surprise release Shark, and the various other options and accessories that compliment these creations. WOW!
Congratulations to all that have patiently waited on us for my recovery for this release date. Our goal was to amaze, surprise and stun the fan communities with both our products and with our prices. Anyone wishing to be added to this list may email us to be included. Although we are exhausted from these last few weeks of rushing around, we will check our email a few more times before we crash for the night. Enjoy, & best of luck to all on getting in on these prices and getting your low edition numbers! Thank you all for your excitement, encouragement and participation. Mike, Cathy, Stef, Jake, Sam, Rachael, Tripp & Jackie Schultz SCO Our sincere goal this week is to send out those promised email notifications for advanced Pre-Order to all those who have been writing us their requests. All pricing and questions will be answered then. Any who wish to add themselves to the early notification list may email or PM us whatever contact info they wish to provide. The early notification is a no strings alert; we are simply giving 24 hours head start. There is no pressure to order.
Currently our idea is to include within the early notification email a link into our new shark's separate sale's page[s], approximately 24 hours before we make the link live to the public. Info and purchase to be conducted normally from there. Then the next day we simply publicly open said link[s]. Due to customization options for these new sharks they will be released exclusively on our sales site only and nowhere else. Nobody else is set up to provide and track the personal customization's that we wish to offer at this time. We reserve the right to limit or end the run as needed, and to modify these plans as better solutions are found to handle these needs. Those that want early notification before we open the sales page to the public will have their chance to view and order their sharks' first. Sharks will be constructed and shipped in order of the order time/date plus Paid in Full status. This rewards those that order first with their shark's first at lower production numbers. If there is a way to make this more fair please feel free to share it with us. At this time we simply will not have the shark sale's video completed, nor as many photos as we like posted up. The sales page will be a work in progress, and as such added to along the way. We wished and have worked very hard for a glamorous reveal but in the end the real priority is simply getting people a shark if they want it. Sale's page prettiness can be improved as we go.. we hope you agree as well. Our secondary goal is to also release a second surprise shark for Pre-Order. Nobody knows about this on yet. Another of what we hope is a community wide stunner and jaw dropper. We'll just wait and see? I do apologize for our lateness in releasing these 2 Awesome New Sharks. It is just an enormous amount of work to accomplish. And my injury and inability to walk very well has slowed things down. We thank everyone for their kind encouragements and for their extreme patience[es]. We wanted and should have released about this time last month! Better late than never. Here's to hoping we can pull this off in time! Hi All!
