I initially posted this over here but some kind folks advised I commute the thread over to this section.

I'm a maker and builder of things. I like to tinker and play with stuff and occasionally come up with fun stuff. I made a Bioshock Belt Buckle as an experiment and the internet went incredibly crazy for it.
I was wondering how I could go about purchasing a license to make more. I'd really love to make a whole bunch but don't want to step on Irrational's IP. What would be the official route? Who should I speak with?

	If you were able to get the licensing do you have any ideas of how much one would cost?

	@drewjamics It's actually made from a printed digital model and then foundry cast in bronze. @rapture That depends pretty heavily on retailers. If places like Geekologie, Jinx, Splitreason and the like order batches, the price could be as low as $35. It's cheaper to produce metal castings if a whole lot get produced at once. But if they are each made more or less one off, that bumps up the cost of manufacture quite a bit.

	I just thought I'd bump this because that is a very cool belt-buckle and it'd be great to hear from Irrational about whether you can produce and sell them.
