Prince of Styrene II 07-04-2008, 02:19 PM I picked mine up for an even $30 in Warwick, RI. Paulbo 07-04-2008, 03:44 PM I picked mine up for an even $30 in Warwick, RI. Where in Warwick? The only LHS near me is on Darlington Hobbies in EP - they don't have a great supply of SF kits so another source would be great. Scorpitat 07-04-2008, 05:08 PM Got mine ordered and on it's way from CultTVmans' site. It was under 30 bucks. Can't wait to have my grubby paws on it......woohoo! Hurry up, and release the Chariot already! Sincerely, Scorp. "Boldly GO!" :woohoo::woohoo: Paulbo 07-04-2008, 05:18 PM Where in Warwick? The only LHS near me is on Darlington Hobbies in EP - they don't have a great supply of SF kits so another source would be great. Never mind ... just saw the image you linked at SM with the huge banner of their web address. Only a couple of miles from where my wife works (the Bertucci's next to the airport)! gaetan 07-04-2008, 07:44 PM Hey guys I just got mine this afternoon, I had to shed a enormous........21$ for it in Montréal......... Oh! The pain! :p I dry fitted the outer shell parts, it looks fantastic :) For the price and compared to what was released before, I am amazed.... Great and successful work from Moebius, thanks Frank. And now for the lightning kit...... Gaétan Opus Penguin 07-04-2008, 07:52 PM Got mine ordered and on it's way from CultTVmans' site. It was under 30 bucks. Can't wait to have my grubby paws on it......woohoo! Hurry up, and release the Chariot already! Sincerely, Scorp. "Boldly GO!" :woohoo::woohoo: Still waiting to hear from Cultman that mine shipped. I pre-ordered two and have not heard anything yet. I am assuming he has a lot to send out. Scheisseler 07-04-2008, 08:18 PM That noun-gender thing always threw me in French class! No worries. The Pod's a vessel...so it is probably a she. Prince of Styrene II 07-04-2008, 11:39 PM Never mind ... just saw the image you linked at SM with the huge banner of their web address. Only a couple of miles from where my wife works (the Bertucci's next to the airport)! Yea, I know where that is. I was there a few weeks ago for a plane with landing problems. But it's right next to town hall & even closer to that new bank at the stop light. Capt. Krik 07-05-2008, 12:24 PM Still waiting to hear from Cultman that mine shipped. I pre-ordered two and have not heard anything yet. I am assuming he has a lot to send out. Yeah! Steve has a ton to ship out. Not to mention that he's also shipping out his glow in the dark Voyagers this week. He's certainly got a full plate for the next week or so. I've got both kits ordered from him. I expect we'll get some kind of shipping notice this week. He is only human after all, at least that's the rumor! :p gareee 07-05-2008, 01:31 PM I'm also waiting for both of mine from Steve as well... it's a holiday weekend, so I don;t really need them NOW. Plus later this month, that Hasbro BIG Millenium Falcon is also released, and I want to repaint that as well. It looks like the pod can fit the smaller gi-joe figures, and it thats actually the case, then the space pod might actually be in reasonable scale with the new millennium falcon as well.. ;) John P 07-05-2008, 10:27 PM Ran to the Hobby House and bought one. Gotta finish the Seaview first, though. Paulbo 07-06-2008, 12:57 PM Plus later this month, that Hasbro BIG Millenium Falcon is also released Link please! gareee 07-06-2008, 01:25 PM http://www.rebelscum.com/toys2008/BMF-1.jpg Here's a picture of the prototype next to the old star wars millenium falcon toy.. as you can see, it's pretty much in scale with the action figures, and is HUGE! Here's a image of the back of the box with features listed: http://www.galactichunter.com/gallery/albums/2008/bmf_falcon_boxed_back.jpg And finally, a link to the official release info, where there's info on it as well... looks to be $150 at Toys R Us later this month. http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/BMF_The_Official_Press_Release_115770.asp Prince of Styrene II 07-06-2008, 01:35 PM Woah! Now that is huge!!! :eek: But a mini-fighter?! WTF??? :confused: gareee 07-06-2008, 10:14 PM Yeah.. the mini figuter could have been left out, and some additional interior sculpting could have been done instead, but just being able to get one for $150 makes me happy. It's close enough for me as a larger format scale model, and with all the lights n such already in it, it's well worth the bucks to me.. heck, the Moebius seaview unbuilt was $100! Jodet 07-07-2008, 11:12 AM It's 5" tall and thirty-five dollars? Hmmm... gareee 07-07-2008, 01:00 PM It's 5" tall and thirty-five dollars? Hmmm... What are you talking about? The BMF is huge, and is supposed to be $150. The Space pod is about $26 online, and is larger then 5" tall. Prince of Styrene II 07-08-2008, 09:13 AM Never mind ... just saw the image you linked at SM with the huge banner of their web address. Only a couple of miles from where my wife works (the Bertucci's next to the airport)! Just thought to throw this at you if you're ever in the area- There's another LHS in Smithfield called Apple Valley Hobbies in the Apple Valley Mall at Rt. 44 & Rt. 5. It's to the left behind the McDonald's. A small shop, "comfortably crowded" I like to say. The owner, John, is a very nice guy. He's usually open around noon till about 8 during the week. Where is darlington Hobbies in EP? I can only find ones located in "the Bucket". Dave Hussey 07-08-2008, 09:30 AM Its $199 at Toys R Us in Canada. Do we have "screw-me" written on us up here or what? Huzz The Great Canadian Rip-Off is alive and well. gareee 07-08-2008, 12:20 PM Isn't the canadian dollar stronger now then the American dollar? That kinda makes sense, since Hasbro is still American owned and operated. Dave Hussey 07-08-2008, 06:01 PM If the Canadian dollar is the same value as the American dollar, things here should cost no more than they do in the US. But - they actually cost around 20% more - at least. Proof that many (not all) Canadian retailers are hosing us Canadians. Just go to Honda.ca and Honda.com to see how much Honda is ripping us Canucks on each Honda. Try for example an Accord EX - a whopping six grand more up here! Huzz gareee 07-08-2008, 09:55 PM So just order it from a US company and have it shipped? Want to talk about getting hosed, order some stuff from England, look at the inflated cost, and then look at the shipping costs. $40 to ship a $10 figure here is just a TAD too pricey for me. Opus Penguin 07-09-2008, 11:43 AM Just heard my pod shipped. I should have mine any day now. PerfesserCoffee 07-10-2008, 12:51 PM Just heard my pod shipped. I should have mine any day now. I got mine a few days ago. Strange thing happened, though. I put it next to my bed and the next morning I felt great but the pod was deflated and dried out.:confused: John P 07-10-2008, 01:15 PM The pod is coming for you... and you... and YOU!!! Admiral Nelson 07-10-2008, 01:31 PM They're here already! You're next! You're next, You're next...! Dave Hussey 07-10-2008, 02:32 PM We should all get baseball caps with a "Pod Person" logo, featuring a pic of the LIS pod and the Moebius logo. Huzz Opus Penguin 07-10-2008, 06:09 PM I got mine a few days ago. Strange thing happened, though. I put it next to my bed and the next morning I felt great but the pod was deflated and dried out.:confused: I hope you weren't like Donald Southerland and feeling "beside" yourself. Prince of Styrene II 07-10-2008, 10:23 PM We should all get baseball caps with a "Pod Person" logo, featuring a pic of the LIS pod and the Moebius logo. Or at least t-shirts! Frak, that's a funny & great idea, Huzz! :thumbsup: deadmanincfan 07-11-2008, 12:00 AM Geez, Dave...that truly sucks... Dave Hussey 07-11-2008, 09:23 AM Ah look - someone to add to my "ignore" list. Huzz deadmanincfan 07-11-2008, 12:57 PM ...I meant the inflated prices for y'all in Canada, Dave...the "Pod Person" cap idea I like a lot! :thumbsup: PerfesserCoffee 07-11-2008, 01:40 PM I hope you weren't like Donald Southerland and feeling "beside" yourself. :lol: GKvfx 07-11-2008, 01:53 PM Is this the truck that dropped off the (Moebius) Pods? :rolleyes: Dave Hussey 07-11-2008, 02:04 PM ...I meant the inflated prices for y'all in Canada, Dave...the "Pod Person" cap idea I like a lot! :thumbsup: Awesome! Now I can un-ignore ya! In my best Don Adams voice: "Sorry about that, Chief!"
