What' s on the plate at Moebius? I can't wait. :freak:

"Something wonderful". - I was David Bowman

You've got LIS x 2, VTHBOS x 2, Jekyll & Hyde (2 versions), 6 Monster Scenes, Captain Action, Conan, The Invisible Man, Gigantic Frankenstein, and now Iron Man on store shelves as I write this. Also, the best Mummy sculpt ever to see Styrene is headed our way soon.

Yes I can certainly understand your impatience :rolleyes:

I feel the same way,
I've got Randy at VoodooFX sending me a little 'tweak" for my Seaview...pics as soon as it's installed.
But my heart is empty waiting...for the next kit.

Steve

well , i'm clicking over to cultTVman's site later today to pre order the new Mummy :thumbsup:
that is one gorgeous kit and Gogos box art . it's like a double bonus .

How tough will it be to get the paint right? I want one too, but I want to do it right.

Steve

Just be patient with it, and it'll turn out every bit as beautiful as your Flying Sub, my friend! :thumbsup:

Since I don't build Jekyll & Hyde (2 versions), 6 Monster Scenes, Captain Action, Conan, The Invisible Man, Gigantic Frankenstein, and now Iron Man, thanks for your understanding. :p:rolleyes:

My LHS got their latest retailer magazine in and Moebius is advertising the Jupiter 2 in there. So now we know where they are headed with two licenses. Frankenstein next for the Universal Monsters, and The J2 for the Irwin Allen stuff. Woohoo!

Oh wow...really?..I want a J2...cool.

Frankenstein is their scheduled kit for June, and then I imagine the Jupiter for December. So what about the rest of the year? And remember when Frank cryptically said that there might not be any more figure kits after Frankenstein in 2009?

I feel like such a geek, but yeah, the suspense is a killer.

What' s on the plate at Moebius? I can't wait. :freak:

I can. I spent enough on models in the last year. :tongue:

I can. I spent enough on models in the last year. :tongue:

In these recessionary times its everyone's personal responsibility to stimulate the economy.
Buy models....its the right thing to do.:thumbsup:

I know that if the J2 is in the offering, I will be buying three at least......
So far for me money is not a issue, keep them coming.....:thumbsup:

I appreciate the enthusiasm BUT, there are seven - count them SEVEN - that would be 7 kits on the list that are not on store shelves yet,
I just looked and it's still mid-April on my callendar - that makes the second half of the year 45 days away by my calculations.
And here we are discussing what MIGHT happen between July and December! Give me a break!

As I have said many times before When the time is right there will be Official announcements of new kits..
Maybe even be something new announced at Wonderfest..(May 16 & 17).. so why don't you guys go build something for awhile!
I'm sure that you could get two or three kits built between now and then!

O.K. I will finish all the kits I've only started......:wave:

Has everyone finished building all their Moebius kits already?!?:freak:
There should be enough kits to keep you going for at least a year....

Dave

We're just having some fun and discussing things. Please don't get in a huff.

There have been NINE New kits already announced for 2009 - SEVEN of them are not even on the boat yet, and you guys want to speculate on kit #10,11 or 12 and when those kits will be released, Sorry I don't get it.
Especially when we've promised to tell everybody what's new just as soon as it makes sense for us to do that.
Trust me, we're not interested in hiding new kit information just to be spiteful. we intend to tell you what were doing as soon as we can....

Dave

Sooo-
before this thread is closed..I guess there is NO news to report..all in good time. Speculation is part of the fun of this board, I suppose demanding the news from Moebius was out of line but all in enthusiasm and spirit of anticipation. I would think we are just human ALWAYS wanting MORE...never appeased by what we have in front of us. For that we are guilty-!!
Gary:thumbsup:

It's just like a bunch of little kids in the back seat on a trip "are we there yet - huh -huh? ...... are we there yet??...mom, are we there yet?........dad when are we gonna get there??"

Dave

Well, now that you put it just so many words...YES!
THANK YOU FRANK & DAVE!!!! You guys are the BESTEST!!!!!! :D

It's just like a bunch of little kids in the back seat on a trip "are we there yet - huh -huh? ...... are we there yet??...mom, are we there yet?........dad when are we gonna get there??"

Dave

Dave, why don't you just give us a daily discussion of topics and then we can please you. Although lately that seems impossible. Sigh.......:confused: By the way, I didn't demand anything, I was just making conversation.

I meant I think I was demanding confirmation from Dave, not anyone else!
I think that truthfully, for me, The Moebius version of the Jupiter 2 is the most wanted kit I can think of since the company aquired the IA license- after seeing what they did with the Seaview, I knew we are going to get the ULTIMATE J2 kit from them when they do do it. It's automatic, no doubt it is coming. The most popular IA ship, Moebius does the chariot and Pod, demand for it is overwhelming, what could be left but the final word on the main ship itself??
Frank and Dave obviously want to get it right- they know the scrutiny will be very high on this kit. They also know it could be their biggest seller ever. The combination I am sure will be worth the wait.
I just can't wait..that is MY problem! LOL
Gary:tongue:

I just get a might irritated at someone who is part of a great company who so far has pleased a bunch of old farts. Then because we want to speculate, we get treated like we've done something wrong. It's on topic conversation which is what I thought we were suppose to do. I've had nothing but praise for Moebius, but I don't recall asking anything for which Dave even needed to respond let alone get in a twist over. If I have a question for Dave or Moebius I will take it to email or PM. If speculation or general chitchat over future kits are verboten, then so be it.

Be careful, he just might turn this thread around and go home.....:rolleyes:
I think your right, as long as we stay on topic, what harm can it do? after all,
if we didn't buy the kits, how long would this forum last? I love Moebius kits
and look forward to buying many more and if I feel like dreaming, who does it
hurt.

Actually, I think I can understand where Dave is coming from. How would you feel if you bought the absolute coolest Christmas present for somebody, and wanted to keep it a surprise until Christmas morning, but somebody peeled open the wrapper and blabbed about the contents?
Yup, it's gotta be like that. Without coming across to everybody like a "teacher's pet", Dave, keep up the good work, and please be patient with your brother cantankerous old potato heads. Yes, moderating this board IS like "herding cats" sometimes. :drunk:
Guys, let's all give Dave a break and be patient with him, too! He's a GOOD man who provides us with a great service! :)

I don't think you guys read everything I posted, Maybe I didn't say it right...
Wonderfest is coming, May16 & 17 perhaps (hint hint) there will be announcements regarding new kits at that show.
So if y'all want to wait a few weeks there will probably be answers to some of the questions being raised here.

I understood hints would be before Wonderfest. Maybe I misunderstood.

No, there was this mention by Frank on the "FX in Orlando" thread of listing the rest of the 2009 schedule within the week:

http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showpost.php?p=2790900&postcount=6

So I think some crossed wires have led to some confusion and differing expectations on the part of several parties. Only thing you're guilty of Antimatter is being a good consumer customer!

I'm not questionong anyone's enthusiasm for our products. Just trying to make the point _ OBVIOUSLY not very well! - That we continue to announce details of new kits as expediciously as we can...
It is plain from Frank's own comments that we are trying our best to make announcements as soon as we can.
Personally, I have been a consumer of plastic model kits for over fiffty years now. I have worked in this industry in one capacity or another for more than thirty years.
I learned along time ago that there is no great value in worrying about kits that might be under development.

I've come to expect that a kit will most likely be seen on store shelves after there is an actual announcement from the manufacturer...
That's the reality of life in the hobby business as I've come to see it...
Sorry if this comes off as an effort to rain on somebody's parade.

Dave

Be thankful that you get as much information as you do......

Just found this funny for some reason.. not sure why. :confused:

What other kit manufacturer will take time to support a forum on any BB???
Much less, interact with the members directly???

I can't name one.......can you?


Dave

I don't think anyone here is actually criticizing you, Frank, or Moebius. I think it was explained above though that Frank said one thing, you've said another, and it created some confusion. That's all. Based on what Frank said in the other thread, there was a sense of anticipation that the rest of the 2009 line would be listed within a few days. If the official word now is that there *might* be announcements at Wonderfest, then so be it.

Beyond that, okay, you don't get that people are anticipating what unannounced items Moebius might have in store for the rest of the year. That's cool. It's odd, because most other retailers would give their right arm for there kind of enthusiasm people here are showing for Moebius product, especially in an economy that has the vast majority of consumers cutting out leisure items almost entirely. And as much as we love them, these are essentially disposable leisure items we're talking about.

I think we all appreciate this board and the amount of time you and Frank spend answering questions and generally being available. You guys go out of your way to share prototype pictures, box art, and shipping schedules. Part of that is I'm sure you appreciate us as consumers and fellow hobbyists in general. And part of it is to create a buzz and sense of expectation about upcoming releases. And it works, if the responses on the board are any indication. But it does create a certain dissonance when at the same time some board members are essentially mocked by you for wondering what's next from Moebius. I know we can be a pain in the ass sometimes and that you tire of the repetitive "Have You Ever Considered" threads. But these are your consumers, and they're just having a little fun on this thread, no harm done, even if you don't quite understand it.

Dave

Why would it being a "kit" company matter?

I can name quite a few companies that participate in forums with their customers. The type of business doesn't really factor into this.

It's great that Moebius does this, I for one truly appreciate it, but honestly Dave.. and I've been around the 'net for probably much longer than you (as you like to note about yourself and models).. and you have to have the least amount of tolerance, patience and general pleasantness towards members by any forum moderator I've seen representing a company. But, Moebius Inc. doesn't seem to mind, so it's all good I guess.

I see where this is going and I'm going to stop before someone takes his toys and goes home. :rolleyes:

I think your right, Dave just dosen't get it and I don't have the time to explain
it to him. But after spending over $400.00 on kits and close to $200.00 on all
the third party offerings, plus hunderds more on things like Video Eye viewers for the Seaview, electronics for the R/C convertion of the Chariots, coutless LEDs for the lighting of all the kits, LED backlighting assy. for the floor of my
FS, on and on and on. We must seem like little nits, getting under his skin.....
How dare us.

Everybody settle down.... Dave can't really say anything until I give him the go ahead. The problem with announcing is that I really have to announce through the distributors first. That means I have to have their sell sheets approved first. If they don't hear about it first, then they get on our sales rep about it. "How come the customer knows about this and we don't?" Then he gets on me about it. Tricky timing sometimes. Jupiter 2 ad. I have seen it, I put it in. If any of you read Scifi magazine, you saw the same ad last fall. Yes, Jupiter 2 was in one of our ads LAST year. You guys know we can't pass up a J2. With everthing else we have done IA, it is inevitable. Just give us a little time yet, and I promise you'll get new announcements soon. Just a little more approval on some things.....

I think I just wet myself.....:thumbsup:

Thanks, Frank.You are always the man to handle things in your own way.
The word is out- NEW JUPITER 2!
But alas, as you know, it's the DETAILS that will make us crazy...size, features, etc!!!!
This is THE golden age of sci-fi modeling, no doubt.

Frank, the trouble is, no one asked Dave anything. He just came in here acting like we were a room full of naughty 1st graders asking too many questions. Read my original post. Maybe you can understand that it was a tounge in cheek question asking when Moebius was coming out with something else. Lastly, I get tired of Dave saying more or less, that we should feel lucky you guys even talk to us. That really gets old.
