Good news Guys! Looks like Deag is coming through for us.
Dear members of this forum,
After receiving feedback from the manufacturer and experts, we have come to the conclusion that most (not all) of the parts highlighted as missing, are indeed omissions from the original prop. As such, we will be replacing them in due course, although as they will need to be designed and manufactured, the specifics of how they will be dispatched have yet to be clarified. In the coming weeks we hope to have a bit more clarity.
Of the parts highlighted in the original post relating to this topic, we will be providing all parts with the exception of the ‘KGV’ ones highlighted in the final image, which have been deemed by the consultant to be inconclusive as to whether they were part of the original prop. It seems there may have been pieces there but they were never included on the Master Replicas version and as such, there is no accurate reference to model the parts on. Further information on when the parts will be ready will be forthcoming in the near future.
We hope that the replacements of these parts will be welcome news to all subscribers, and we appreciate your patience in having waited for a response.
Regards,
DeAgostini Admin
Based on the continual failure to Deagostini to even maintain proper and timely stock in the shipping dept., they bill like an insurance company and then ship when it is convenient or when they finally get around to confirming production quantities. The number of subscriptions grow each month and they wait to the very last minute to confirm production quantities, thus delaying shipping.
I hope you guys find it in your hearts to continue with the casting project on the missing parts, most of us don't want to wait six months for Deagostini to follow through with their "agreement" to produce the missing parts in a supplemental issue.
Put me on the list to purchase if you decide to make castings available, if anything price them so you can recover your "investment" in all the donor kits.
Thanks for all your dedicated efforts.
