## The Last Word Miniature Replica

 — Shin Malphur

The **Bungie Rewards The Last Word Miniature Replica** is a downscaled replica of The Last Word within the Bungie Rewards program made to commemorate the reprisal of The Last Word in *Destiny 2*. It was added to the Bungie Store on January 29, 2019, the same day "The Draw" quest became available in *Destiny 2*. As a Bungie Rewards exclusive offer, it could not be purchased without a unique discount code earned by completing activities or Triumphs in *Destiny 2*. With a discount code, the replica was priced at $54.99 USD.

The replica was produced by Level52 Studios in collaboration with Bungie. It depicts the Exotic Hand Cannon The Last Word in a miniature format, at a 1:3 scale. It is made of polystone and acrylic, and its dimensions without its display stand are 4.9"L x 0.55"W x 2.4"H (12.45cm L x 1.4cm W x 6.1cm H). The display stand is black in color and includes a clear holder that fits under the replica's barrel. The stand fits the replica with magnets for stability purposes, however the replica is easily removeable if desired. Also included with the replica is a small 6.3125"W x 4.1875"H collectible card displaying a blueprint-style graphic of The Last Word on one side, and a quote from Shin Malphur regarding the weapon on the other side.

During the replica's initial run, discount codes were available to be earned and claimed until March 5, 2019 at 8:59 AM PST, which players could earn by obtaining The Last Word. The same deadline also applied to ordering the replica from the Bungie Store.

The replica was also included as part of a bundle with the Bungie Rewards The Last Word Long Sleeve T-shirt, available through Bungie Rewards under the same conditions to earn and order as the individual items. In addition to saving on shipping costs, the bundle also offers a discount of $5.00 USD compared to buying the items separately, as it was priced at $79.98 USD.

Later, in 2020, on November 12 the Last Word replica was reissued to the Bungie Store in extremely limited quantities. This was the first to follow the Ace of Spades replica's reissue, making the Last Word replica the second item within the Bungie Rewards program to ever become available after its discontinuation. As with the Ace of Spades replica, only those who had previously qualified for the Last Word replica during its initial run in Season of the Forge were distributed the new discount code via email. However, this code was not unique and was shareable, like the new code distributed for the Ace of Spades replica reissue. The code was "TEX-MECHANICA", and with it applied in checkout the replica could be purchased for its original price of $54.99 USD, slated to ship in 1–2 weeks after ordering. Approximately 175 copies were available, and the replica remained on the Bungie Store into January 2021.

## Scale

The Last Word replica is not listed as being in any specific scale. And while the previous replicas in the line, the Ace of Spades and Luna's Howl replicas, were described as being 1:4 scale, the Helm of Saint-14 miniature replica was described as being 1:3 scale. Furthermore, the Helm of Saint-14 replica was stated as being in the same scale as previous Level52 Studios Bungie Rewards replicas, which suggests that previous replicas are 1:3 scale, rather than 1:4 scale.

## Packaging

The replica arrives in a 7.875"L x 4.75"W x 3.75"H covered box. The black cover encases the box, and displays Bungie Rewards branding, as well as the title of the replica and its SKU ID, which is BGA19001100. Upon lifting the cover away, the blue box is revealed. It features a description of the Bungie Rewards program, also thanking the reader for playing the game and earning the item. Inside is found the aforementioned collectible card, under which is a foam rectangle layer 5/16th inches in thickness. Upon removing which the replica and its stand are presented, both wrapped in plastic and nested into fitted foam cutouts.
