thegunny Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Is this stuff legit? Starship Modeller lists the macross stuff as being made by misc models/mori models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505thAirborne Posted October 5, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetarB Posted October 5, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Focker Posted October 5, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electric indigo Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 All the kits on their site are bootlegs, so shopping there will get you in hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire_BR Posted October 5, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted October 5, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool8or Posted October 7, 2011 Share 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...

Ghadrack Posted October 7, 2011 Share 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.

HWR MKII Posted October 8, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myersjessee Posted October 14, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool8or Posted October 23, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegunny Posted January 4, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool8or Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Well, at least they will stop using my pictures.

EXO Posted January 6, 2012 Share 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.

Ghadrack Posted January 6, 2012 Share 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?)
