Olympic torch replica

[VicS]

A boaty connection that I am not going to reveal at the moment.

I would like to obtain a replica / model of the 2012 Olympic torch. Say about a foot tall but not critical. Need not be particularly good quality, plastic will be fine, but preferably not too cheap and nasty looking.

Anyone any ideas where I might find such an item.

Google and ebay have failed me but surely there must be entrepreneurs ( cowboys) out there making them.

Right got your drift.

Packed full of Semtex with a remote detonator and passed to Beckham to light the flame.
Nice one, I'm with you bud.

The torch will like all olympic symbols have been design right protected and they will come down like a ton of bricks on anyone who publicly says they are making replicas.

Best bet is to get yourself a 3D printer and make your own

So they'll be on eBay Hong Kong then?

Yep! or just find someone with a 3D printer...

Since they are making 8000 of them, there must be the odd loose one.

(happen to know one of the 2 designers)

You won't want a replica of the 2012 one then.

but out of stock
