Hello :)

I have a little free time at work so I can make these Space Invader wall sets if anyone is interested. These are CNC cut from high quality professional painted composite aluminium. The material cost is around $6 per square foot but my boss lets me use the left over scrap from jobs for personal projects so I can offer them at a very low price of $40 shipped per set! The material thickness is 4mm (although I have a few 3mm and 6mm options, just ask if interested) and one of the pics shows them next to a VCR tape so you can see the size of them. I attached them to my ceiling using a strong outdoor double stick tape made my 3M (price was reasonable, around $7) but they can also be hung on the wall using hooks/screws or whatever method you prefer. Here are the colors I have currently but all are limited to the scrap I have on hand so pick a back up option if possible :)

*added some pics of material in post #5
Bright Metallic Silver - near sold out, maybe 1 or 2 left (shown in pics post #5)
Anodic Bronze - kind of a light Gold metallic (shown in pics post #5), decent amount left
Copper penny metallic - like a bright new shiny penny with metallic undertones, decent amount left
Xbox green (very thick 6mm material) (shown in pics post #5), decent amount left
Colonial Red - custom color, enough for one set only
Honda sky Blue (shown in pics post#5) I have a lot of this, just came in a few days ago

Sold out colors...some can be reserved if you are interested, just let me know, Thanks!
Brushed aluminium (we get this occasionally, lmk if you would like to reserve)
Gun Metal pearl metallic (custom color, probably will not be in stock again)
Forest Green (very rare color, lmk if you would like to reserve but could be awhile)
Chevy Blue (I have a ton of Honda sky blue right now, very similar only a little lighter)
Gloss Black (3mm) (we get this occasionally, lmk if you would like to reserve)
Bone white (we get this pretty often, lmk if you would like to reserve)
Bright Red (we get this occasionally, lmk if you would like to reserve)


It is easiest for me to make the entire set all one color but I can make multi-colored sets for an additional $5 per color since a lot of additional set up/cutting/etc time is added for additional colors.

Each set includes the following pieces...
Three of each Invader shape (6 different invader shapes) for a total of 18 Invaders!
4 shields
1 laser base
1 U.F.O.
2 Lazer shots
You get a total of 26 pieces shipped in a priority flat rate box all for $40 shipped, thats around a buck an Invader! I am all set up and ready to make these so you should get your orders within a weeks time.

I can also do smaller or larger orders but I just ask you give me a 2-3 weeks turn around time on custom orders since they take a little more time to program/etc..but if you don't mind a little extra waiting time NO order is too big or small, I am just happy to make these for anyone that wants them :)

Let me know if you have any questions, due to the very heavy weight of these I can only offer this price in the USA but if you live out of the country and are willing to pay shipping costs I will make them for you! Oh, and for any newer members that do not know me I have 4+ pages of positive feedback here and can also provide Ebay/etc references so buy with confidence :)

Thanks guys, let me know if you have any questions! - Brian

Damn, if I had the cash I'd totally snag these... I don't think you can beat that price with a stick!

I bought a set of these back in December, and I'd recommend them to anyone. Crazy Climber does nice work, and the price is fantastic :)
