I can not control Alex, also he is bound by approvals that he has to get before he can officially release anything. If anyone needs to read up on how licensing agreements work I can post links as per Foley and Hoag.
Oh look, here is another "update" from 6 days ago.
UPDATE 04/04/2022:
"Upper Saucer and Nacelle Botton and Caps Master Molds Created"
I wonder where those pics are??
Well instead of 3 weekly updates, regarding the Master and it's Molds EAD felt completing all parts and Molds with the higher detail, and quality was appropriate.
Mr. fett perhaps you can send me a dm with your order number and I could get whatever questions or concerns answered more immediately.

Oh Anthony Crews, I have been told not to respond to any of your comments due to the aforementioned statements so I'm going to take myself out of this equation and I apologize to any other interested parties or customers but this person is known to stir the pot and is not telling you the full story....
So there will be no more posts on the RPF sorry! Unless the aforementioned harassment stops. It literally is every single day friends and family and it's nonstop and it's threatening and it's demoralizing.
[takes a deep breath]................
Well, all things considered, I feel like EAD/Alex could have saved themselves a lot of stress and headache had they just posted progress pics on the kits landing page on their website as they worked on this, not on an only members FB page. I hope that they learn from their mistakes and after all the dust clears they consider continuing what hey planed.
I still stand to the belief that if they had not even put this up for pre-order before showing us a test kit, this would have gone a completely different way. It wouldn't have to be the final design/details, just a proof of concept. I mean look at how Round2 is handling their 1/72 Razorcrest from The Mando show. They showed us a test mockup, it all its HD glory before you could even pre-order it, I believe.
I hope that this kit does get released and it's more awesome than we could have ever imagined, but the lack of current, finished kit parts photo so late in the game is very unprofessional and inexcusable.
With that said, the 2 most recent photos that have appeared (mind you not official EAD released pics) of the upper saucer azteced and laser cut alum dorsal are the silver lining in the VERY dark cloud that has appeared.
In case people missed or are refusing to read carefully....
THE KIT is going to be released as previously stated within weeks! But only in the numbers that were previously mentioned and nothing more. They are currently casting parts to fulfill all orders that are existing, writing the instructions, finalizing the collectors book, the only thing that can stop the kit from shipping within the next few weeks which is unlikely is any snag at microscale.
Or if Paul Peacock does not provide EAD with an invoice for the number of kit electronics, which to my awareness he has not. But if he has pulled out of the arrangement they had he still needs to contact EAD is they had an agreement and at least give the courtesy so that a replacement could be put into place in time.
If the manufacturer of the boards or the decals for whatever reason don't deliver that isn't on Alex he will only find a substitute and update customers but at this time there is no issue.
