agass4u Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Hi Guys.I think Nightmare was just being sarcastic; no malicious intentions on his part. On my end, I really don't mind the questions, and I'll try to answer them as straight-forewardly as possible. I would never expect someone to plunk-down money for a product sight-unseen. That's partly why Rob never accepts payment for the models until the masters are done & properly photographed. I know, I'm just fool'en. On a side note, what ever happened to the poll about the next project? Did anything come about from it? Quote
KingNor Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 this is so rad. I used to have a robotech rpg book and i just gobbled the pics up when i thumbed through it. ( could always tell which pics were from the original and which were added as supplements from a hired artist) anyway.. this thing always caught my eye. can't wait to see it fully built! Quote
Myersjessee Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 So the darn vehichle is twice as long as the booster (*almost) by the looks at least...damn! Quote
Mechamaniac Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 Why, oh why? Can't you guys make some stuff to augment the 1/48 Yammies?? I know, cost etc.... But I'm not talking about doing the launch vehicle in 1/48...I'm talking much smaller scale stuff.... I can't think of a better person to tackle two seater conversion parts, GBP, Stampede, Elint or Super O parts etc. Quote

It would be neat but expensive as heck! Quote

He already said he wasn't talking about the booster... let's not fight about which people get's customs made for them... instead we should find a way to be more constructive... let's clone the captain!!! hehe...

Lets not get crazy...what will I fill my closet with and where would I put on the finished kits?!?!?! Nope...building isn't an option...lets just fight about them. Remember they used to have break dance wars? (See Breakin...the movie and Beat Street... "Beat street...king of the beat, cause your rockin to the sound from across the street...beat street is a lesson too 'cause you can't let the street get the best of you... " I wonder if we couldn't have model wars...bunch of geeky pail guys meeting up with their boxes of kits "dualing" it out.... Quote
EXO Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I'm game. So your place or mine. Damn Jesse... you've been served!!! I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat Quote
guncross2 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Dude that is so... so DUDE! (I'm trembling in excitement) btw. new books for ya go to sci-fi-anime.ca John Quote
guncross2 Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 BTW to all of the 1/48 collectors, If U're all serious about it, Y don't U guys just ask Cap to make what U want and pay him for his work? let's say... 1 booster for 1/48 $500 for the kit + $2000 for the molds/materials + $ xxx for his labor:) and if you guys let say... 20 of U , well it'll cheaper no?

captain america Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Hi Guys. Just wanted to let everyone know that the first set of molds are finished, and the castings are better than I was expecting. There are still 2 molds left to be done, but that should be pretty quick. The box art is also almost finished; the only difference will be that the pic will be of a properly built/painted launch pylon, not the prototype. Just FYI, if anyone is still thinking of ordering one, I urge you to do so before it sells out: the kits are limited to 50, and won't be available separately when the run is finished. Quote
Grayson72 Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 I can't wait to see the vehicle, it will mark the first new Macross kit in years that doesn't fly. Quote
flash Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 So, do we have to buy this, or will the launch vehicle come with it? Are you building/selling the launch vehicle in pieces then? Quote
captain america Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 Hi guys. What's currently available for order is the launch rail/pylon only (see For Sale section.) The treaded launch vehicle itself hasn't been started yet, and probably won't be available until early in the new year, so as to give people time to save-up for it... And to give me time to work on other stuff. The launch rail ,sold by itself, will be strictly limited to 50, no exceptions. After that, it will only be available as a set with the booster. Quote
Myersjessee Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Man..I can't wait for mine...this one is getting built damn it!!! Quote
agass4u Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 The launch rail ,sold by itself, will be strictly limited to 50, no exceptions. After that, it will only be available as a set with the booster. Ok, so I want to be 100% clear on this. If we can't manage to get one right now there is still a possablilty to get one later, but only in a set with the booster. I hope that I am right, becuase I still have to buy a booster too and this would make it so much easier, even though I imagine that the set togeather would be about $225. Quote
captain america Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 If we can't manage to get one right now there is still a possablilty to get one later, but only in a set with the booster. Correct. Quote
agass4u Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 Oh thank god. I guess I will be waiting for the sets to start being sold then. Thanks Captain. Quote
cobywan Posted October 28, 2004 Posted October 28, 2004 But to be even more clear; the treaded platform IS going to be available as a stand alone part to compliment the booster and base that I just ordered. Right? Quote
captain america Posted October 28, 2004 Author Posted October 28, 2004 But to be even more clear; the treaded platform IS going to be available as a stand alone part to compliment the booster and base that I just ordered. Right? Right. Each of the 3 components was/is/will be available as a stand-alone kit specially for MWers; basically, to break-up the ginormous cost of selling all three together. That way, you can get whichever kit you want, cheap. The combination kits will be even more limited (maybe 15 kits), and will be somewhat more expensive. Quote

How expensive will be the combo Atmospheric Booster Kit and launch rail? Darn! I'll have to save more for the combo kit bhuhuhu! Wait a minute...so...to be clear...you're still going to sell the Atmospheric Booster as a single kit in the future? (please sell the Atmospheric Booster as a single kit! The combo kits are in a way a Limited Edition run? And for those MW's that have money to burn? hehehe! Gian7675 Quote
captain america Posted October 29, 2004 Author Posted October 29, 2004 Wait a minute...so...to be clear...you're still going to sell the Atmospheric Booster as a single kit in the future? Nope. The atmospheric Booster only kit is now sold out. The only way you'll be able to get it in the future is as a set with the launch rail... At a revised price. Quote
Grayson72 Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Except for those flaky people who still haven't paid Monkey-Nugget from the first booster order. Quote
gian7675 Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Wait a minute...so...to be clear...you're still going to sell the Atmospheric Booster as a single kit in the future? Nope. The atmospheric Booster only kit is now sold out. The only way you'll be able to get it in the future is as a set with the launch rail... At a revised price. Waah! Anyway, how much will be the Atmospheric booster & Launch Rail Combo Kit? When will you start selling the combo kit? Just want to know so that I can start saving more LOL! Hmmm...some guys are not yet paid on their VF-1 Atmospheric Booster only kit eh... I hope Monkey Nugget re-lists them Gian7675 Quote
Gundamhead Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 He just has given them aweek to pay, or they get re-offered. Quote
Myersjessee Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Just a little plug...review of this kit, by me, here...hope you enjoy it. LINK Quote
Grayson72 Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Hey what happened to the progress on the vehicle or the other creations planned by John and MonkeyN? Quote
Less than Super Ostrich Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 heh heh... greedy grayson doesn't have enough in his "To Build" pile? just kiddin' G72! Quote
