I'm afraid it wouldn't be worth it. The molds are jolly expensive to make. Would they be possible to laser cut? I believe they'd be too thick.

A while back i spoke to the guy that made them and i have said that if anymore come up than to contact me as LOC are always after them, that was 7-8 months ago and no news since im afraid.............and they would be to thick if laser cut, they need to be pressed from a flat sheet really!

If another member wants to loan one as a pattern temporarily re: getting more made I am sure Chris
or myself could be persuaded to loan one to another member......

If I get to buy this set, I’ll do my very best to see how much it would cost to make more of them, here in Sweden. If it’s worth it, production will start.

Ive been searching months for these baby's. I think someone is gonna have to take the leap and get them made up! I'm sure they'll sell like hotcakes! Put my name down for a set please.
DJ Wozza

I'm afraid it's not that easy. I've been searching the US and UK ebay more or less every day for the past seven months, without result.

My heart beats extra fast everytime I notice this thread has been updated, only to realize it was false alarm.

any more news yet lee

FINALLY!! After eleven months I’ve found my rings, and they have been out there all the time. I googled myself to a post on the My.is forums, dated 2005, where some Canadian guy wanted to sell his. There was no response in the thread so I thought I’d ask him if he still has them. Now they are on their way to Sweden.

When I get them I will do my best to find someone who can make new ones. Cheers

Just read this whole thread and i am suprised that these where stopped being made there where loads around a few years ago.

Has anyone managed to get these made if not i'll have ago, but if someone has already done it i'll leave it.

Let me know

Cheers
aaronabbott
