    Anyone here remember the Arcade Aid Flynn Lives ARG that was used to promote Tron: Legacy? They gave away some very nice pins, badges, token, posters, postcards, etc. and it was a lot of fun that I felt helped to build excitement for the film. Is there anything similar ongoing for the Tron: Ares film? I'm guessing no or I think I would have seen something about it by now but maybe I've missed it as I'm not on-line near as much as I was 15 years ago.

    Please add me to the interested list. Thanks, Carl

    I'm going to guess that the MLV Series is the Delta Wing Tread/TLEAD and the EZ Series is the forward swept version or the Bulldog.

    WOW!!! I just stumbled across this thread and I'm blow away. Amazing work. Carl

    Do you mind if I ask where you put your preorders in? I see almost a dozen sites offering preorders for the Pose+ Legioss and I'm not familiar with most of them so was looking for some recommendations. Thanks, Carl

    Anyone know where to get a good high res image of this poster? This may just be me seeing what I want to see, but I think there are some interesting designs in the background that I'd LOVE to see made into toys/models.

    Thanks! I found the issue on Hobby Link Japan but the shipping alone is 3 to 4x the cost of the magazine. What is the best way to pick up a single issue these days? Also I just found this tool: https://translate.yandex.com/ocr It can take something like this: And turn it into this: I'm curious if this means Sentinel is planning on producing the Bulldog too. I suspect they could reuse the majority of the molds needed from the Tread. Or is this image connected to the Genesis Breaker story? Or another project? Thanks again, Carl

    Does anyone know what magazine and issue this image is from? I'm tempted to pick up a copy. Thanks, Carl

    Does this answer the question? https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/USS_Goddard Not the best font choice if you ask me. Carl

    Hello, I recently just watched the first 2 seasons of the Mandalorian and really enjoyed it. However I have one question that has been bugging me. What is known about the group that was housing Grogu before the Mandalorian took custody of him? I'm wondering if these were "good" guys that were protecting Grogu from the bounty hunters knowing fragments of the Empire were after him. If these were "bad" guys, why hadn't they simply sold Grogu to the highest bidder. He appeared heathy when we first see him so I assume he was getting fed and taken care of while there and the impression given is that he had been there for years. Seeing as the Mandelorian killed most if not all of those in that encampment in the process of recovering Grogu I'm not certain what I am supposed to be thinking about this group. Starting your story by having the main character killing a bunch of good guys doesn't sound like a smart move but in hindsight their motives appear to have been to protect Grogu. Thoughts? Has this been discussed elsewhere? I know I'm slow to the game here. Thanks, Carl

    Hello, I saw where you pointed someone to this thread for proposed model kit projects. Here is a subject that might be fun. Granted there isn't much reference material but this may be an opportunity to flesh out the details by "Moscatofication" and may be fun, and I'm curious what you'd do with it. I'm thinking of the 2007 Legioss with or without the Dread2. The Dread2 appears to be a reimagined Tread. Not certain what to make of the Dread1 in the below image as it appears to show it connected to the 1984 Legioss but doesn't look anything like the Tread (Anyone able to translate the text on this page?) A set of the P-51 Mustang, the F-18 Hornet, the 1984 Legioss, and the 2007 Legioss all in the same scale would also make for a very interesting display piece. Just throwing out some ideas. Carl

    I'm in for 2. And a small fleet of Alpha/Beta combos. Just sent payment. Thanks Shawn for the heads up. Carl P.S. Will the Alpha/Beta combo be separable? Available in any other modes than fighter? The combo gerwalk mode would be nice and may be the only other mode doable at this scale. Not sure... Can it be attached to the Horizont like this with the box over the cockpit?

    I suspect this money isn't coming from Chronicle Collectibles. Partial.ly was acting as a middle man via collecting these payments. I suspect they have some insurance that covers situations like this. So this is likely them distributing an insurance payout. If people didn't get their money back people would likely be trying to sue them because suing Chronicle Collectibles wouldn't have likely been very fruitful. At least that is what I think is happening here. Carl

    I contacted my CC company and was informed I needed to contest each transaction separately. From my login account I could only see 5 statements so could only see a fraction of the transactions I needed to context. In my case there were a total of 14 transactions so I needed to follow a procedure of requesting they upload the older statements first. I did that Tuesday and they have just now shown up. However, even better news, just 20 minutes ago I got 14 emails from Partial.ly just like this one: So it looks like I'm getting 100% of my money back without even contesting via my credit card. I hope this is true for those that didn't use PP or a CC as well. Carl

    Looks like I was wrong... Chronicle Collectibles may very well be in the business of screwing over their customers. http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171649&page=47

    I did. But I'm not in panic mode yet. Chronicle Collectibles I don't believe is in the business of screwing over their customers. I'm rather sure this will get sorted out. It is just right now I have no idea what is going on. I'm guessing the entire project was cancelled but if so I'd expect some sort of announcement.

    Did anyone here order the Chronicle Collectibles Enterprise-D? I did back when they reduced the price to $1701. https://chroniclecollectibles.com/products/enterprise-d I've been making monthly payments to a Partial.ly Payment Plan since. The 13th of 16 payments was just pulled successfully back on 9/11/2020. And yesterday I got an email from noreply@partial.ly that simply stated: I immediately called Chronicle Collectibles and left a voice mail. I also emailed them. So far no reply. Today I emailed Partial.ly. No idea what is going on at the moment. Did they cancel their Enterprise-D? If so I cannot find anything that announces that. There have been zero issue with the 13 payments to date so not sure if its just my payment plan that was cancelled or everyone's. If the project was cancelled, I've seen no mention of how I get the funds back that have already been collected. Anyone here know anything? Thanks, Carl

    Based on what you say above about Star Trek: New Voyages and Star Trek Continues, it must have been something to do with the fundraising specifically. Walter Koenig, George Takei, Grace Lee Whintey, Denise Crosby, John de Lancie, Michael Dorn, Jason Isaacs, and Marina Sirtis are all professional actors and I fail to see how this doesn't really blur the distinction between fan-film and professional production, especially so when you have the same actor playing the same part. I don't know how Star Trek: New Voyages or Star Trek Continues is funded, I haven't looked into it. Maybe these actors and actresses freely volunteered their time, I'm not sure. Just looked here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_New_Voyages and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_Continues and I see Star Trek Continues also used crowdfunding to pay for production. Still not sure how Star Trek: New Voyages was funded or exactly what the line was that Axanar crossed. Digging a bit further I see Star Trek Continues raised $539,661 across 3 crowdfunding campaigns and from what I can see Anaxar raised $1,785,181 across 4 crowdfunding campaigns. I'm tempted to guess that the "line" Anaxar crossed was this transition from 6 to 7 digits in Star Trek fan capital. Carl

    I watched this yesterday and missed the SDF-1 so I was just about to ask if this was a joke. But I thought I better give it a second view before potentially making myself look too stupid and I spotted it. I love the way he sneaks it in. Carl

    Is it safe to assume we crossed the 30 kit threshold back on the 26th? Just curious if there was an official announcement that this project was a "go". Carl

    Is that an FDM print?

    I'm in for one. For the in-scale fighter are we talking about the Legioss/Tread combo? Three of those I guess could also be considered 6 aircraft so I wasn't sure. Thanks, Carl

    Is this the image you are looking at? If so the head-fin appears to be completely blocked by the front landing gear, so I'm not sure how you can tell if the fin is dragging or not. If there is another image you are referring to, could you post it or a link? Thanks, Carl

    Ok.... just got an email from Shawn. Looks like these were the same project. This post should tell you who my source was and fills in the gap between 2007 and 2009. Carl P.S. Does this mean I should take those PDF files down? Not really intending to open an old wound.
  25. wwwmwww
    The source I got these PDF files from is NOT Roger Harkavy. Going back and checking my email, my first contact with Roger was in May 2009. The files I just posted were files I obtained in 2007, which is well before I was aware of what Roger was working on. I suppose that it is possible that the "friend" referred to by my source was Roger (I honestly don't know) but I have a collection of line art that I've received directly from Roger in 2009 and 2010 that I believe has very little overlap with these 3 pdf files. I went through that first looking for the image Akim posted and I didn't see it there. I'll check again. There is obviously a few details from 2007 to 2010 that I've forgotten myself but at least at the time I made the above post I was thinking these were separate projects. Carl
