Rock Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Price pending, they also have a macross booster! (link removed) Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I must own one or two of those... maybe more!! Quote
cool8or Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Wait a minute... they're using the pictures of my Launcher Vehicle!! Quote
thegunny Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Is this stuff legit? Starship Modeller lists the macross stuff as being made by misc models/mori models. Quote
505thAirborne Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Wait a minute... they're using the pictures of my Launcher Vehicle!! I thought that Launcher looked very familiar cool8or,and without asking you 1st, not cool.... Quote
PetarB Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Looking at the price, it looks too good to be true. I wonder if it's legit. Stealing images is not a good start... Quote
Major Focker Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 i was about to say that the price seemed about right for the launch truck, hence may be legit. then i realized that it was booster + pylon + launch truck, which would be at least $150 cheaper than what i paid for all 3 kits Quote
electric indigo Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 All the kits on their site are bootlegs, so shopping there will get you in hell. Quote
Spitfire_BR Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I'm worried about the quality of the launch truck because I know that the original cast is in the hands of guys from Staship Modeller and it costs the same price the whole package in Kit's Power !!! What hell is going on ? Quote
Grayson72 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah those are recasts/rippoffs, I know for a fact that John at Starship modeler owns the original master for the booster. Quote
Grayson72 Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Wait a minute... they're using the pictures of my Launcher Vehicle!! You really should contact them and protest. Contact them here. cs.order@kitspower.com Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Price pending, they also have a macross booster! http://www.kitspower.com/index_ecat.php?cPath=5 They stole "Master" WMCheng's pics too. ...no wait... I like looking at these pics. Quote
cool8or Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Well, you can see it also here: http://www.hkml.net/...stpost#lastpost Really, it doesn´t matter to me too much... after all... I have the model in my shelf!! But it serves me as a lesson: Always upload the pictures watermarked!! Edited October 7, 2011 by cool8or Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Well, you can see it also here: http://www.hkml.net/...stpost#lastpost Are those your WIP shots stolen as well, too? Quote
Ghadrack Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Pretty much Standard Operating Procedure for recasters isn't it? Obviously if there's something we don't know and the masters were sold to this outfit I'll retract my statement, but looks like like straight up recasting to me. just goes to show you, if you make something awesome, they will copy it.

cool8or Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Are those your WIP shots stolen as well, too? No, they aren't. Quote
HWR MKII Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 One of our forum members currently has the LV and the launch arm masters in his posession. These are recasts. Quote
Myersjessee Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) That launch arm was mastered by Gundamhead and the Vehicle by Captain. I'm sorry to see their work get stolen. Edited October 14, 2011 by Myersjessee Quote

ahiachris Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Wait a minute... they're using the pictures of my Launcher Vehicle!! They're recast copies. I saw them selling at Yahoo Auction Hong Kong. The ones selling at Starships were the only originals. Mine were all bought at Starship. Quote
big F Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Site is owned by Lam Man Kwun Alexander (alexkwunlam@yahoo.com.hk) I feel an old style mail box bombing coming on, Both Yahoo and Hotmail investigate these things you know Quote
Hiriyu Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I feel an old style mail box bombing coming on, Both Yahoo and Hotmail investigate these things you know Heh Quote
Jefuemon Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Hey, Cool8or, your work really gets around. http://wiki.livedoor...5%ea%a1%bc#item They're not selling anything, just describing some of the optional "add-on's" for the VF-1 series. Quote
cool8or Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Hahaha! Great! Since my kit is the only one 100% finished, It's not so strange that many people use my pictures as reference... Let's see what will happen when other genius modellers finish their kits!! Quote
Jefuemon Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r83917337 Cool8or's photo's strike again! This time, as a Yahoo Japan auction. What me to drop them a line and tell them to knock it off? Quote
cool8or Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) But are they the same guys? Edited November 19, 2011 by cool8or Quote
Viceland Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 He's on eBay now... grrrr http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1-72-VF-1-Atmospheric-Escape-Booster-Launch-Vehicle-SDF-Macross-/170745387429?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c137d9a5 Quote
Spitfire_BR Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Well, who will be the first guinea pig ? Quote
cool8or Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Damn! My Launcher is more famous than me... Quote

thegunny Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Why hasn't this topic been deleted or at least locked when it it is promoting items that are obviously ripped off from other people. Quote
cool8or Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Well, at least they will stop using my pictures. The color scheme is interesting, but I would have preferred other colors in some details Edited January 4, 2012 by cool8or Quote
EXO Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 If you guys want this deleted, I'll delete it. But I feel like it's something that's gonna keep popping up. Unless we can find a way to stop them then anyone that can type Macross on eBay will be able to find this. Maybe we should stop providing links or something. Quote
Ghadrack Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) I like the fact that the info that this is a recast house cheating our members is available. Maybe links to the legit source for these kits through the approved sellers as an option might be a good way to go? Like Don't buy from site www dot jerkysaurus d oit crom , they are available for pre-order on castings from: (insert correct ssm link here?) Edited January 6, 2012 by Ghadrack Quote
