Unlimited Run Those last few Y-Wing Greeblies

[Studio Kitbash]

Now cast, available for purchase.

Price is $35, plus $10 shipping domestic, or $15 for shipping internationally. FREE for previous customers of my complete Y-Wing greeblie set, but shipping still required. If you are an existing customer, send PM with previous Paypal transaction date to confirm. This set "almost completes" your Y-Wing with greeblies that have been sought for years by the purists, including a 5-year search by myself for the included seven as-yet-previously-un-ID'ed pieces that have all been found in the last two months. I say "almost complete" because we are still missing the ID of one "bar" sidewall piece and one still-un-IDed "caliper" top-side greeblie. But this is, as of July 2021, the current state of the art in terms of completeness.

New orders of complete Y-Wing greeblie sets do NOT need to order this separately, as it is already included. This casting is for those who a.) ordered a previously incomplete set sometime in the past four years and/or b.) have a Y-Wing either built or in kit form that would benefit from being retrofitted with these greeblies for maximum accuracy.

PM me for Paypal details if you don't already have them. Will also consider barter or trade for either an original of Part #59 (the crane piece) of the Aurora Sealab in original orange styrene (not a casting), OR for the ID of the missing sidewall piece or the caliper piece greeblie if you're in the gnostic-hoarder-of-secret-greeblie-knowledge group.

Are you willing to sell castings of just the Nitto Bismark parts?

 

[Studio Kitbash]

Well, it's from the same mold, so it's the mold you're paying for, either way -- but sure, if you just want the Bismark parts, $20 including shipping (if you're in the States)

 

[swgeek]

Got it understood. Thank you.

All Y-Wing greeblies, including those above, still available thru May 2023.

Anyone still waiting on Y-Wing greeblies from the last casting run that closed in May, these are being produced and the current status is that about half of the orders are shipped out, with the other half of the orders still to go. Thanks for your patience. Meanwhile, I did have to make new molds, so if you still need some of the last few pieces, let me know as I'm in the basement casting until at least Thanksgiving.

Not that I have a hull yet to put them on anyway, but any update?

Jay,

I'll be in Jacksonville for the Jaxcon 2024 show, so will bring your greeblies in person.

In the same boat. Paid full price at $750 in October 2024 and still waiting after multiple promises. I didn’t say a word when you put these on sale at half price 2 months after I’d paid but I’d either like my parts shipped or a refund please. I think I’ve been patient enough with the waiting.

Thanks,
Bruce

Please provide an update on my order.

Producing now. All coming. Basement clear of mold (last month), pressure pot repaired (last week), progress being made (this very weekend). Hang tight. If any of you get too impatient, just ask for a refund, and it's yours. Six months is a long time to wait, so you do have my apologies, but as (most of) you know, 2 years + is also a normal time to wait for some of these things, so I get it if you're frustrated or worried about being scammed. You are not, of that you have my absolute word and -- as most of you know -- I deliver more, not less, than what you paid for.

I'm not making excuses, but in case the context would help: I am also raising ten children and eleven grandchildren, supplying original parts for various clients, and in general trying to keep my day job, so a lot of the delay is simply not enough hours in the week. One further caveat in my "slow down" in production speed lately is simply that three of my children have all moved back to the town I live in, and so I am called on for "grandpa's free babysitting service" a lot more frequently than ever, and so a lot of your delay is not that I don't have the free hours, but that a lot of them get eaten by the necessary good work of being pater familias.

Your public complaints, however, do make me realize the necessity of implementing DaveG's wisdom that he offered years ago: only offer for sale that which has already been produced, something I will henceforth implement once the backlog is cleared. If you are a backlogee, please don't hesitate to reach out with more details or specifics. You should have both my work phone number and my home phone number and if not, and you would like the chance to yell at me personally over the phone, I'm happy to provide that service as well... ; )

Package received Saturday and appreciate the extras in the box.

Take care,
Bruce

"Appreciate the extras in the box" = 2 Y-Wing greeblie sets sent, despite only 1 being ordered. $1500 of original greeblies also included, at no charge.

THAT'S customer service... ; )
