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.

I can make it upon request; it's homemade, actually. I haven't determined the cost yet, but if I get a few orders, I might.

Please add me to the interested list.

Thanks, Carl

So, on that website, they are teasing MLV Series, EZ series and AB-01 series (which is the Tread).

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.

Bit the bullet and put a deposit down on the Pose+ Legioss.

I know I'll regret it if I don't.

Just did the same. You are not alone.

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

i think there are hints in this poster

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.  

Shawn just pointed me to this.  I'd be interested in getting an unfinished kit if it isn't too late.

Hobby Japan May 2023 Issue.

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

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'm shocked and pleased. When companies break up and go under they generally don't have any money.

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.

I predict no one is getting a penny back unless it's through PP or a CC company.

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:

Hello Carl

Unfortunately, the merchant, Chronicle Collectibles, will be unable to fulfill your order.

A refund of ***.** was successfully processed to payment method MasterCard credit card ending in ****. Please allow 5-10 business days for the refund to clear your bank account.

If you had more payments on your plan, you will receive a notifcation for each payment refunded. You can also confirm all refunds in your Partial.ly customer account at partial.ly/login. Your refunds can be found under Other Payment Plans > Details > Refunds

Refunds can only be returned to the card that made the payment. However, if the card has since been canceled or expired, the refund will still return to the bank account associated with that card within 5-10 business days.

If you have any questions, please email support@partial.ly

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.

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.   

Looks like I was wrong... Chronicle Collectibles may very well be in the business of screwing over their customers.

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:

Hello Carl!,

Your payment plan with Chronicle, LLC has been canceled.

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

I may be misremembering, but I seem to recall it had something to do with Axanar's fundraising to hire professional actors and looking for actual film work, essentially using their work on Axanar as a resume and blurring the distinction between fan-film and professional production.

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.

P.S. Watch for the SDF-1 in part three.

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.

-a compliment of three in-scale fighter aircraft

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

There's a picture of it sitting on the landing gear straight forward and it doesn't appear to be an issue.

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.

P.S. Does this mean I should take those PDF files down?  Not really intending to open an old wound.
