  1. its all nice but then you have to consider how much more you might have to pay for something and what more  is in the cost to do such things, prime example is the delorean by eagle moss they dropped the ball on the flux and christmas tree when they couldve  done  it the same as  what the mod community came up with and put a few moe dollars into   making us pay for it  im sure people would be happy had they done that  same for the  ecto 1 seeing what  people are modding out there already  every model has its faults and good points  agora is listening more then others  and hopefully eaglemoss  listened  on the  Enterprise but  im sure something will be off  on it too.  as well as like being accurate   like the bismark is up till you talk about the flags involved. where as a company they cant do that cause of the laws in places. 

  2. i believe that they did address this issue some place in a letter / email or on the website in another post about  they are  not going to put any added  money into the  packs as far as that went  and i would assume they would address  before changing anything as far as money is concerned

    I started on the Hachette Terminator build when it came out and was following World Of Wayne putting it together. Then it all got confusing! Not sure what I missed but he started on the Agora version? and I kind of lost the plot with it. I invested in the teeth mods, eye mods and finger joint mods. However, I just got fed up with repeating the same bits over and over and eventually lost interest. I've now got a half built model with unopened issues, three binders and all the freebies including the plasma rifle gathering dust and no idea what to do with it! Looking forward to getting my teeth into the Shelby's instead!

    waynes building the agora and hachete  terminators but they are both  one and the same model just that  Agoras is shiping it world wide where hachette is only like UK and italy i believe..  the other difference is agora is shipping 10 of the stages at once verses the hachette which is doing it weekly. so basically agora is almost caught up to hachete.   same goes for the bismarck  its the same ship just being sold by another  model company.

    They said in an e-mail on 11/20 that the Plasma Rifle is due to land in Florida in the end of December with Pack #9, so I'm assuming that in the beginning of next month they will be sending us all info on it. They seem to have gotten everyone caught up with Packs #7 & 8, so when Pack #9 ships next month we should see the Plasma rifle shipping.

    yes but were suppose to get some code to enter and buy if we wanted it thats what im looking for

    If this is rc then my question would be what makes it better then the tamiya, other then it comes pre-painted. 

    id have to say it might be more detailed  who knows what they might do with it   light up turret  Sounds  tracks and  such  it definitely be more then just  plastic 

     

  6. A TANK!

    now this  is something im looking forward to  I know  another company had one, i havent seen another. i wonder if this will be  a remote controlled or a stationary  Id like to see it  maybe up on a stand where you could  let its treads run if it was stationary.  Cant wait to see this one.  maybe well see  more of these like the Abrams   or the tiger tank.

    I see your point, and I’m sure others will be disappointed too.  
     

    I’m not.  I’m currently about halfway through collecting the DeAg Jag, and have only barely started building it.  And although I would normally go for as much variety as possible, this, to me, is different enough to warrant building alongside the coupe. And I mean, c’mon, red and green, on display next to one another!?  I think it would look great.  
     

    Honestly, I was only planning to maaaaaybe add one more part work subscription to my ongoing list this year.  Now, I’m really looking hard at the Zero and the Jag.  I think they could have done worse.  
     

    At least it’s not a little Fiat.  And then again, I’m sure there’s somebody else out there who would LOVE a little red Fiat.  At the end of the day, to each their own.
     

     

    welll  fiat or s Waynes building the pergot  i guess i need to be on that side  of the big pond  to  appreciate these  cars   unlike the others which have made to American markets  now  eddie stobert truck that looked cool even if its not  something here in America. i mean people want a A Team van  whats  visually intresting aside that it was black and  had that red stripe. vs say batman or  the other cars out there ight now being built honestly i want the Zero and the spitfire they might be  the same  but 2 different planes at some point

     

  8. its not just  australia just everyones behind  back orders and delies  i think ive started 15 subcriptions a few i got on hold some have yet to start and others are back ordered or  thy take payments then put them back.. its crazy

    Why is the Agora model $1600.00+ and the Hachette model £5.99 an issue. Some of the issues come with one peice of the hull costing 129.99 U.S. Is there a reason for the high mark up. Or am I reading the price wrong?

    because the  bismark from agora will have  at least 12   stages  per shipment  that wouldve been single stages from  hachette  also if your  comparing the  UK price to american itll be higher cause of the  money exchange

    Same here. Billed Sept. 30, no tracking info. I contacted them already & their only answer was They were having problems and I Should hear something soon. I go through this every month with them (look up earlier at my posts in this thread) This is hands down the worst company I have ever dealt with. So sorry I am in this situation with them.

     

    just remember they are just  starting up  this past year with getting into the game with the other people and trying to sort out their company logistics yet  along with making things go smother  this world poo thats going on and making sure  shipments from the manufacturing  side is handling the demand  also have to believe that every model be it  this company eaglemoss or  diagostoni  they all get the parts made in china factories  so things coming out of that  area have been effected a lot. eve regular mail  packages are thrown into a customs i am sure when it comes to the USA.   I am in a mixed feeling but i know  things dont always go the right way in any business  even farming is a day by day mess when something breaks or goes wrong. i would like them to be open and honest saying hey guys were sorry  for delys we know we promise things and  blh blah blah..  ive been waiting on a  kick statrter  product that hasnt delivered yet in 4 years now and they  keep saying its coming but they are silent too much

    Got a tracking code 7 days after billing, shipping from the UK to Canada. Since then tracking has stopped and the package is MIA.... I guess wave 2 of Covid is messing everything up again. If you haven't received a tracking by now, definitely contact Agora support.

    Wouldn’t this be close to support if they read the forums 

  12. Another plane that  hasnt been done by any is the 'memphis belle the iconic  B-17 bombers  Or even the B 24s  which  many were made  near my home  these would be massive  compared to the spitfire and Zero   but impressive no doubt memphis_belle_2_de_la_rocha_military-940x940.jpg

  13. Just wondering if pack 6 has been shipped out in the USA. Payments taken on sept 30. Yet nothing about shipping yet.  Next payments due the 31 of oct for pack 7.  8 days from now...  last time the package was here the day I got the tracking number.

  14. Your right the first completed model you get  the next model you the first packs free.  And I was saying it was a guess on 150  per pack since it’s 129 +10 for each pack of the terminator for me and that’s 10 stages.  So if this is a 140 stages at say 12ish stages per pack since each stage was about 10 dollars a stage  that’s how I was coming up with 150

    The detail is a little chunky for 1:200 scale (The Bismarck Trumpeter kit @ 1:200, blows this kit out of the water with detail and at a fraction of the price) and the deck looks like a plastic toy, all things that can be fixed by us modelers, at our expense, I'm buying into the die cast hull and all the motors with electronics..... it better not be $150 per pack otherwise it won't sell..... 

    If they do want to sell it at 150+ per pack, then they better offer a 5-6 pack discount.... like with the last model.

     

    BTW, you don't get a discount on a model until you have finished buying two whole kits and have started on your third.
