## Ace of Spades Miniature Replica

 — Banshee-44

The **Bungie Rewards Ace of Spades Miniature Replica** is a downscaled replica of Ace of Spades within the Bungie Rewards program made to commemorate the reprisal of Ace of Spades in *Destiny 2*. It was added to the Bungie Store in October 2018, shortly after the release of *Forsaken*. 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 Ace of Spades in a miniature format, at a 1:3 scale. It is made of polystone and acrylic, and its dimensions without its display stand are 5.25"L x 0.63"W x 2.25"H. (13.35cm L x 1.6cm W x 5.72cm 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 Ace of Spades on one side, and a quote from Banshee-44 regarding the weapon on the other side.

During the replica's initial run, discount codes were available to be earned and claimed until December 4, 2018 at 11:59 PM PST, which players could earn by obtaining Ace of Spades. Using a discount code, the replica could be purchased before December 31, 2018 at 11:59 PM PST.

In a hugely unprecedented manner, the replica was reissued in 2020, marking the first time ever that a Bungie Rewards item could be purchased again after being retired. It reappeared on the Bungie Store as early as September 11, 2020, listed for the usual Bungie Rewards price of $777,777.77, still requiring a discount code for checkout. However, it wouldn't be until a week later that emails would begin rolling out explaining the situation to fans. The email stated that the replica was available on the Bungie Store US to those who had qualified for the offer since its initial run. However, rather than distributing unique discount codes, there was a new static discount code, "COLONEL". This code could be used by anyone, however it would expire on October 31, 2020 at 11:59 PM PDT. After which it was explicitly stated that the replica would never be rereleased again. With the code the replica could be purchased for its original discounted price of $54.99 USD. The replica would sell out extremely fast, only lasting later into the day the code was sent out on September 18, 2020.

## Scale

This replica was listed as being representative of the Ace of Spades at a 1:4 scale. However, past the Luna's Howl miniature replica, the scale of all future Bungie Rewards replicas made by Level52 Studios would be unmarked, with the exception of the Helm of Saint-14 replica, which is described as being 1:3 scale. It was also stated that the Helm of Saint-14 replica is in-scale with the previous replicas in the series, suggesting that they are all 1:3 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 BGA18030100. 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.
