Have Hachette sold out of Alien Chris?
Not long to wait for ET though, also know that Darth Vader is being trialed over here, so that could also be another in the pipeline, I would def go for scale 1/2 Darth Vader.👍🍻
Cheers.
Vader 1/2 scale😃 now that would be an announcement lol

Sorry Chris, is it because it Alien takes too long to do on Hachette, because I got kit one thru Hachette.
Hey Phil
it's not so much it takes too long for Alien build through hatchette,I'm just interested to know if agora had anything else up its sleeve for 2024 instead of 007.
I know there is a lot of bond cars going on but who knows they might drop this for you lol👇 gen 1 😃

Apologies if this is in the wrong section..wasn't sure if the thread should be in general chat?

Hey everyone
Just had a thought and wondered if 2024 will be 007 car models for the year?do you think there could be anything else planned for 2024?
Don't get me wrong, it's kool that agora got the rights to do the 007 franchise. Some of the cars coming are great for bond fans new and old. Good stuff.👍
It was really kool to get optimus this year (looking fantastic so far btw,everyone building him seems very pleased😊)which made a nice change from vehicles (for me) and being im UK based we can't get the alien through Agora...😕.
Whats everyones thoughts?

bon après-midi pas de problème, profitez de la construction et postez quelques photos quand vous commencerez 🤓 cordialement Christophe -
Hey Gustavo
I would love to do this for you,would be fun to put a model together for someone. A little nerve racking being a perfectiontist myself and wanting it to be the best it can be!
but being in the UK,I'm the other side of the pond🇬🇧
Maybe a fellow Canadian can come to the rescue.🫡🇨🇦
Kind regards
Chris

Bonjour
à nouveau si vous avez commandé l'édition collector vous auriez payé 744 euros pour recevoir les packs 1 à 3 et vous aurez tous les éléments supplémentaires, la vitrine arrivera au cours de la construction
Ensuite vous paierez 152 euros par mois pour les packs 4-12
J'espère que cela t'aides désolé, je suis anglais, alors j'utilise Google Translate cordialement
Chris

Bonne soirée
J'utilise Google Translate ici, donc désolé pour les erreurs.
si vous avez acheté l'édition collector à 152 euros par mois vous recevrez la voiture entière.
ne vous inquiétez pas, chaque pack arrivera une fois par mois jusqu'à ce que vous ayez terminé la construction.
cordialement
Chris

It has a good weight to it and it feels nice and solid. Certainly not weightless and hollow.
The magnets do not need to be glued in with too much superglue. They serve to hold the skin in place during assembly, but are pretty much superfluous once the skin is finally fixed. However, it does need a fair bit of superglue to glue the skin sections to each other.
Thankyou for clarifying Mark,interesting to know what I'm in for if signing up for this build.
Kind regards

It is a good, solid build. The body parts are ABS, while details parts like the chest exoskeleton are metal.
HTH,
Mark
Thankyou Mark, it's nice to hear the chest has metal.thats good to know!

It's interesting it's 1:6 scale. Would be quite a display peice to say the least!that's huge😆

Personally I think the sounds from all manufacturers are poor. It would be so much better if they use a half decent speaker. I come as a model train collector and this is something that manufacturers have improved upon over the years. Given the price of these kits, I would have thought they would spend a little more on giving us a better speaker.
Hey 37401
Awesome your into model train collector😀my uncle was really Into it in the 90s and I always loved seeing the whole train set moving with steam and horn sounds rolling around some nice scenery.
I agree they could improve the sounds on these models,they do seem A lot of the time to be slightly distorted,or overly loud which drowns out the clarity.
-
Late to the party here but I had the same problem. I contacted agora and apparently this gets rectified with pack 8.
Did you get the same?
-
Hey guys
Anyone who's doing the alien build can give me an insight into how solid the model feels?
From what I can see online,YouTube ect it seems quite weightless and very hollow.
Was Interested in it as would look great next to the t2 but feel I would like to hear from other people who are actually building it to come to a decision.
Looks like you need a shed ton of glue on top of the magnets just to keep it together...

'77 Bandit Trans Am?
Where do I send my money?Agreed!😄

I like it quite a lot especially the colour,but I don't think it has the sounds of the engine which I really like from the agora shelby model.
I think it's lacking in a few features compared to the agora shelby so might be a pass from me....
-
Hey guys, just seen this on the deagostini website. It's the mustang shelby gt500 1967 in the beautiful green!
https://www.deagostini.com/uk/scale-models/mustang-shelby-gt500
Looks very nice!!
World of wayne has a code to use if subscribing I believe. Also the first pack build wayne has on YouTube now.
Check it out

I have asked Agora several times and always get the same answer, "We expect soon" or the last answer "
Hello Robert, we are sorry for the longer than anticipated wait. It is looking like the by the end of July/ early August we will finally have stock available again. An email and social posts will be sent out when the stock is 100% available in our warehouse."
Thank you,
Customer Service Team"Well we are a third through September. I subscribed, completed last May, and did what was asked. Still no real answer, just "SOON".
Giving up hope.
Sorry Bob, don't know how active you are on the agora forum but the plasma rifle i sent the link is now sold...😕
Keep an eye on ebay though you might get lucky..

Hey Phil
I feel your dissapointment with the T72,it's just a shame there is no contact with them and you spend money (which they take without fail every month) and no product being delivered.
Makes me slightly wary on whether fanhome will deliver on all these new models they released..🤔
I never really experienced any issues with hatchette with the warhammer mortal realms subscription.they always delivered on time and everything went smooth from start to finish. I'm assuming the batmobile has been plain sailing so far?
Hahaha yea maybe I will take it very slow with r2d2 with them around😄 might end up with a broken r2 after all this hard work putting him together!
Ah awesome, when your happy with what you have weathered so far send some pics😃
Cheers Phil
Chris

Nice stuff,those plastic airfix models are tough to do,you have to be so careful with cutting small parts out of the sprue and also very careful with glue I believe?
Agora db7 looks really well built, with all those different gadgets too I'm sure it will be a fun build.
Keep us updated on what you think when you recieve your first pack😊
-
Thankyou notsram!😊
Appreciate your feedback, I also weathered my terminator but that was done with nuln oil (warhammer oil for minis) so slightly different technique.
What you building at the mo?
Had a look at your profile but I cant see what's in your portfolio.
Cheers

Hi, I might be a bit late to the table, but has anyone suggested the 1968 Ford Mustang GT fastback from Bullitt?
Surely it has to be right up there with Bond's DB5 as an all time classic film car.
I agree,my dad actually had one in the 90s.the gt fastback is just a classic car with a lot of love from car enthusiasts. Agora should consider it for the future

Good thread Phil!
I'm a massive horror fan myself,always been Into it whether it be films,gaming even the music resonates with me.😈
Such a hard choice to narrow it down to one but I'll list my top 3 not in any order
1) leatherface
The chainsaw and the fact its based on a true story really is a frightening story.
1/2 scale model yes please!!
2) terrifier
This dude is more recent but when I saw the film for the first time It was just so gruesome and Art is a unique take on horror figures in general.
3) ghostface (scream)
I know its been turned into a joke now but when I was a kid in the mid 90s when I first saw scream.it was SCARY!! Scream 2 also petrified me!It still brings back memories and the first horror icon I was fascinated with.
Of course I like that Freddie kruger is yours Phil, he is a legend and nightmare on elm Street was truly terrifying. Need to watch them again,maybe this weekend 😄
