Master Replicas Studio Scale X-Wing Canceled

[pixletwin]

From RS:

As most of you know, Master Replicas has been working hard to try to get you the replicas you want before our Star Wars license expires at the end of the year. One of the replicas we have been trying to produce is the X-Wing Studio Scale. Unfortunately, due to our time limitations, we are not going to be able to complete this product by the end of the year therefore; we are not going to be able to release it.

We know a lot of you were really looking forward to owning this replica so to make it up to you, we are offering you a $500 off code for our last studio scale we have in stock, the Millennium Falcon. That’s right $500 off! This is the last Star Wars studio scale that Master Replicas will be offering so if you don’t own this awesome replica now is your chance.

Just enter discount code: XWFCN in the promotion code box when you place your order.

*Simply Enter XWFCN in the promotion code box at checkout. This offer is valid through September 7, 2007. Cannot be combined with any other offer. All prior purchases are ineligible for discount. While supplies last.

If only I had $1,500

 

[Batty]

I'm not surprised about the X-Wing.

 

[pixletwin]

Me neither. But I thought the $500 off coupon was pretty cool for anyone who has wanted this.

 

[dunedain]

Bit off a shame, would have loved to see the X-Wing.

I'd like a Falcon. Would you buy me one? You can use that coupon. Thanks.

 

[El Roranous]

I am very sad about this. I really wanted an X-Wing but I will settle for that coupon.

 

[MaulFan]

If I had the space and $1500, I'd go for this. In this scenario, this a very generous offer they're making, bout the best they could do really.

PM sent.

 

[Rook]

Well, I'm heartbroken. This was the only studio scale that I was interested in, besides the cost- and space-prohibitive Falcon.

 

[Sir Tristram]

I'm not surprised about the X-Wing.

I am.
The prototype looked to be very far into development.
Shame. Sad. I really wanted this piece too.

Perhaps somebody else will pick up the molds and continue development...

 

[Eagle]

^ It would be nice but I can't see anyone else being able to pick up from where MR left us high and dry.

I was looking forward to the Star Destroyer and more from the Aliens line. Oh well.

Yeah, a Pulse-Rifle would have been KILLER. I was holding off on grabbing the MR Motion Tracker because I wanted to see if they'd release a Pulse-Rifle too. Ah well. The only MR piece I ever got was the Han Solo ESB Blaster replica because I was able to score it for like $150. I would have maybe grabbed the X-Wing...The Falcon would be sweet...but it's just TOO big and TOO expensive for me to get at this time.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

the Star Destroyer Oh well.

the only thing from master replicas that i was looking forward to. IMO leaving people high and dry is something they have no problem doing when it comes to their products.

From what I understand, They tried VERY hard to have the X-wing done in time, but I bet they couldn't guarantee it would be delivered by the end of the year.

And leaving fans 'high and dry' is all they can do when they lose the license. At least they didn't take peoples money and fail to deliver (Which I understand happened to Icon)

 

[LOTRFan]

So the milked variants were only the lead up to this eh?

 

[KitFisto]

Well, here is to hoping the value of the Code 3 X-Wing goes up

 

[Vader AL]

$1,500 PLUS shipping, right?

 

[FelMar]

what a bummer...

was looking forward on getting this x-wing...

so that only leaves the ICONS version if you want a studio scale model huh ?
