Quoted from Aurich:Someone asked me to paint him a custom Sparky, and I told him the same thing I've told other people: I'll charge you a ridiculous amount of money, you don't want me to really do that. That's my defense to guard my free time. That tactic failed, he called my bluff, and ended up agreeing to help him.
Thing is, it looks like you can't get Sparkys anymore. They weren't always the easiest to find, but people like Terry would manage sometimes. Now he says Stern won't sell him any more.
So I'm thinking, Stern must have seen the aftermarket potential for this, they hooked up with Donny to offer this new Premium, and shut down the flow of extra ones to keep this the way to go custom. Or maybe they've just run out of spares and there's no conspiracy.
Either way, unless something changes it may be that if you want a custom job you're going to have to sacrifice the one out of your game. Anyone hear anything different?
I should rip the Sparky off my Metallica Launch Party Grand Champion Trophy and sell it.
