Round2 Acquires Star Wars License

[edge10]

My local shops must not have ordered enough.

Officially, the Revell kit is a European only release.

Well, that's why my local shops don't have them! I ordered my 2009 Enterprise from Fish Pond, I'll look there for this too. Thanks!

Not a lot new here, but Round2 has a video for the virtual toy show(?):

This video has photos of the Razor Crest at 10:40.

Based on that video, I'm cautiously optimistic that R2's RC will be slightly better than the Revell. The main hatch and boarding ramp look a little less toy-like, the engine exhaust cone appears more accurate, and the cockpit seems to be an improvement.

 

[Jaitea]

Yep, looks better than the Revell

I wonder how it will look beside the Revell, both being 1/72

Any word of an interior for the cargo hold, the video seem to almost avoid making any statement.

I've noticed that omission as well.

Here is the box art for the Razor Crest

They also confirmed that the only interior, is the cockpit.

Do you have a link for that Edge?

Well that's super disappointing. You have a nice sized kit with two big doors and you don't do an interior??? Or are they going to Galileo it and promise to maybe possibly release an updated kit with an interior at some point in the future?

It is actually in the comments, on Round2's Crap Book page.

How much interior is there?

Just the cockpit.

How much interior is there?

Well, there's the entire cargo area that fits about 2/3rds of the ship...

 

[Hunk a Junk]

Unless the level of detail on the outside of the ship is noticeably superior to the Revell kit, the lack of an interior other than the cockpit kills the deal for me. I don't want to spend the equivalent of the kit's price for more to get an aftermarket set and I have too many other projects to spend the time scratching one. I have a relative in Germany. I'll have them pick up the Revell and stuff it in their luggage when they visit in the summer.

That's what it looks like round 2 has adapted as a model offering strategy, sell the main kit first, than charge some crazy price for an interior that should be included with the kit in the first place, nice work round 2..... Glad I got the Revell kit first, I will use it as a guide for my AMT kit....

That was actually the question to R2. I redacted the questioner's name, but you knew that already

I honestly think Round2 just blew it, and has not intention of adding an interior.

They were just caught flat-footed by Revell's inclusion of the cargo bay. Just my $0.02.

 

[Hunk a Junk]

Ah. I see. I thought you were throwing a rhetorical question out to us.

I think you're right, but how do you offer a kit with doors that open to nothing and think it's complete, amateur mistake.... I think it's too late for me to cancel my preorder at Culttvman, so sad....

I don't think it is too late to cancel, if you really want to. We don't even have a firm release date yet.

I don't know? I never studied rhetoricals.
