The price comes with a bit of sticker shock. Also, I would rather have the Typhoon than the Tempest.
I guess action figures are not far behind?

what happened to the extra pics of the ships that were posted about in the news upon login?
I was expecting at LEAST all 4 sides and the top, or better yet, some sort of 3d viewing app to rotate around a pic of the ships.
I'm lined up to buy, but won't till I see the actual ships in a LOT higher detail.
CCP. PLEASE don't use images that are 700x700. we want DETAIL. Warn folks it's a large image, and put up 4k x 4k pics. Please..

Paintjob on the Navy Mega and the Navy Apoc is simply wrong.
The Navy Mega got the same paintjob like the Navy Exequeror or Navy Vexor, while it is black/white ingame(actualy I liked the black Version in Clasic more).
Navy Apoc got black side panels(they are golden/yellow ingame).
Also I canŠt understand why the Faction BS are only avaidably as package. 500 $ are quite a heavy pricetag, even 125$ is...

Been drooling over these all day at work :)
Definitely getting 4 (1 of each)
Still undecided atm cause of the differnce with the colors on the mega and apoc.
Even the premium client the navy mega is black, I can see it eventually getting changed.. If they make the faction Vindicator.. why make 2 black megas? (always wondered about that ingame)
So I can go with that.. but the faction Apoc is reddish if I recall correctly.. and the Amarr are all about being bright and shiny with their Holiness and all. (think theres something about that in the navy apoc disc) So I cant see where the navy apoc would ever be dark :/ Then theres all the detail lines on the regular mega.. Which puts me on the fence getting the Navy set vs 4 reg ones.
That being said.. I cant wait to get a set at my front door .. no matter the differnces they friggen ROCK. These babies are going next to my limited edition pewter Dragons :)

Is it just me or does the standard apocalypse look a bit... well:
Looks like some sick blotchy camel that fell in some oil, with a bent back.
Standard Apoc
Whereas not a 10/10 for my level of fussyness the Navy Apoc somehow looks a lot more accurate and respectable in it's picture. Definetely more buyable for me.

Good thing nobody uses the Fleet Tempest ingame so noone notices the model has the wrong wings...
Otherwise, nice. Expected price for such big models.

Yea, although a camo'd out Raven is all well and good, can we get a Rattlesnake model plz? It seems to me that CCP decided to just slap some different paint on the existing models of the non-faction ships and call them faction. Also, yeah the Fleet Tempest sails are wrong

also pretty fail that they are selling a camo'd out version of a megathron and trying to pass it off as a "Navy Mega"...

TBH, Gallente Navy faction ships have had a borked up colour scheme in-game anyway. The Vex and Exequror are coloured as I think the whole range should be, but the Comet and Mega are still Black/White, and the Deimos has the same fricking colour scheme as the Navy Issue cruisers.
1) Give the Comet and Mega camo schemes
2) Give the Deimos Duvolle Labs' golden/silver colour scheme and not a Navy scheme.
Without changing it in-game, those models are technically not Navy Megas. IMHO it needed to be changed in-game anyway, so why not do it and not get in trouble for false advertising?
Also, your Fleet Tempest needs fixing.
Will still get the regular Mega though.

It really, really, really sucks that it's going to be based in North America. Sure, might be better for the residents of the US, Canada and Mexico who have a lovely free trade agreement, but customs charges and delivery to the UK is just going to mount up and suck - hard.
Still going to get that Mega though.
Ahh, yeah. No. You'll still get custom'ed if it goes across the border to Canada. I doubt there'll be any -duty- (extra taxes that the free trade agreememnt works agains) but if Canada Customs and Border Services (yeah. that's their real name) decides to look at it you'll get tagged with any applicable sales taxes in your province. So you'll pay the GST and whatever PST is still owed.
EU/UK people: that's teh same thing with you guys getting assessed VAT. Us canucks don't get a break, despite what you may think. I for one will request it be sent by normal USPS, as I have no desire to deal with FedEx and their obscene handling fees.

I know it's painfully obvious with the other three, but even the "Faction Raven" seems to have a wrong color scheme for a CNR... are they even supposed to be the Navy/Fleet versions?

Anyone else thinking of buying one just to have a great base resin model to go to town on with the paints? I know I am.
I wanna more windows and more true to game colours. I'm confident I might be able to do a decent job of it.
Proportion wise they are all very accurate apart from the tempest as far as I can see which came off a looking a lot shorter and fatter due to the pertruding beams at the front being pretty noticably shorter and smaller.
What to the people with experience say? Is it ok to apply an overcoat on these things when they're already painted?

As long as you know what type of paint the original is done, it's not hard to do a repaint. Would have to test different thinners to see what reacts with it, then I'd just spray over with a good sealing base coat. Though the original paintjobs do look to be pretty well done, so most people here will end up with a lesser quality result. I wonder though if these are production pieces? or prototypes?
Honestly, when I saw "Models", I was thinknig of something in a kit form or something like that. Not what I was hoping for, I'll be passing on these and just building my own like originally planned. They look well sculpted and all...
And solid cast resin, no wonder they are so pricey. 3 pounds for the Raven, yikes! And given the shaping, I can see the Raven and Tempest suffering from a good number of short-casts. I just hope they are getting them molded properly, I'd hate to see these things full of pinholes.

Actually, if you read my post above that you quoted I DID see the pics on the web site, and they are NOT high res. They are 700x700 pixels. And they only have one angle shot of each ship.
Asking for 5 images in a HIGH resolution is NOT too much to ask for an item I am buying. Normally I'd just search the net and find some. For any other retail item, there would be hundreds, if not thousands of pics. But seeing as this is a brand new item that is hitting a very niche segment of members who play a very niche game, it's not too much to ask.
I mean really. All they have to do, is grab a drop cloth( a white sheet), put it on a pedestal of some sort(a large fileing cabinet works) and use another drop cloth held up by someone else to take some shots of it with a decent high res camera(Something 6 megapixels or higher would work fine, and are easy to find). Post those in the "more Images" part for each ship that's in the EVE Store that has other photo's of each item. I mean hell. It says "More Images".. Plural..
I mean, they're just pictures. They're easy to get, and easy to upload. You can't even see the Raven/CNR well from the angle they show it. It's probobly take 30 mins, and it'd be done.
I don't think it was asking for much. Personally, when buying something that is a "sculpture/art" I'd rather be able to see it in greater detail. Hell, I was even polite and said Please at the end of my post. This is something I've been waiting for for a long time. But the Devil is in the Details.

Just ordered my set, went with the t1. Really liked the navy raven and apoc.. even if the apoc is darker it looks really cool. But being Ive flown the t1 versions more, they bring back memories .. and I couldnt get past the sails on the fleet tempest :/ Now I just have to wait, wife is still going to wrap them up for anniversary/xmas. If these are as nice as they look I cant wait for other ships to follow :)

I think that EVE should have a cheaper variant of battleship that you can build alone with glue and to paint alone model ?

great idea, for models are fun to have. but for the size that they are and detail amount and such, for that price its not worth it to me.i would pay say, 40 USD or 60 USD for it, somewhere in there, but not 130 USD. thats just a rip off.
same goes for the empyrean age book. i wont in my right mind pay for a novel 24 USD. not in my right mind.
a good novel of any kind only gose for anything less then 10 USD.
anyway, thats my rant.
the only cool thing i may pay for on the eve store, may be the keychain, as thats just nice.

50-58 usd for shipping to sweden/denmark?..
Guess i'm not getting one then, becuase paying basically half the ship price in shipping feels a ripoff. I could have lived with the ship model cost itself, but then another "half ship" in shipping? That just turned into a matter of principal :( |
