Are these cast from original props?

[EchoLeader]

The claim is that they're cast from originals.

Just wondering if people agree if they are or not from the pictures.

Considering " whom " these are coming from
I would HIGHLY doubt it..... :lol

Of course, Trek stuff has been ripped
off time and time again I'm sure some of
those pieces have a LOOOOONG history !

Again, look at the source... :unsure

 

[EchoLeader]

Very true, a very well known re-caster trying to reinvent himself yet once more.

This guy just won't give up will he?

 

[Too Much Garlic]

For those not aware... who is he?

Thank you. Yes, I remember when "studioscale" got banned.

First he tries to recast the RPF and now he tries to recast MR? That logo and name (The MR Store) are just screaming for a C&D.

 

[EchoLeader]

He should try casting an original idea. :confused

 

[Funky]

To quote from his banning:

"he has "typosquatted" the RPF by creating a nearly identical forum with a nearly identical address."

Now he tries to mislead potential customers into hinting that his products are in someway MR sanctioned?

I sure would like to show this guy my "tall finger". :angry

 

[EchoLeader]

If you notice, he doesn't accept PayPal. Reason being is that he's screwed so many people via PayPal that they won't support him.

Here's his Ebay record.

Ouch. That feedback I doubt he'll use that account again.

Nope-

SgtFang, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Almost within my budget but they do not have hollowed out models nor free shipping nor warranty stickers :lol


Actually, one look at the prices would tell you a lot that its a recast. Still, I am interested to know how he got the "Smuggler's choice" and "Defender"...

The "Smuggler's Choice" masters were purchased from Alfred Wong and is the same one that SMT was producing before they got a C&D from Lucas Film. The 1/24 "Defender" has several parts that are re-casted from the Nice-N studio scale TIE Fighter. The parts that I see that are re-casted are the wing arms that attach to the body, rear body exhaust, canopy window frame and canons.

What a tool! :rolleyes

Maybe someone should point LF in the "right" direction? :angel

 

[rollerboi]

Slippery slope. I wouldn't do it if I were you. Glass houses, and all that.

I wouldn't even worry about it... If ANYTHING, that
clown has proven over the past year or more is that
he CONSISTENTLY screws people over out there !

Just give him time, only place he posts now is
Starship Modeler only because he brokered a " deal "
to sell THRU their store...

THAT won't last, as he will fall back into his
old habits and start screwing poeple
over then he'll have to re-invent himself on some other
Board yet again !

:rolleyes :rolleyes :rolleyes
