It used to be Umbrella, but we all know what happened with them Yes, it happened that even the undead refused to accept a cat with such fat hips, hence Umbrella Corp decided to nuke the whole city and go after the underachieving distributor for retaliation.

'Must be submitted to event day and event location before 11am' but 'Finished F-14D will be yours after the event"... So you'll get one before entering, and you also get to take your own build home?? Wish they'd just be straight up. It's really not that hard to be accountable... Addendum to the above: just checked Facebook. 'A date will be confirmed to public this month. Date for shipping is being sent to distributors now'. The weird business practices continues. Sending test shots to a handful of Malaysian fans. For a build contest organized by said fans. Huh? Meanwhile people pre-paid 2+ years ago. Then a guy on FB tells me that they are "working on the box art." Don't know how he knows that, but wasn't the box art already finished? They are beginning to sound like kids explaining to their teacher why they didn't finish their homework. Wonder what shipping date they are sending to distributors?

Now, when pictures of built kits will emerge, I doubt they´ll take responsibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If they have kits available for a build-off, then why are they bothering with this circle-jerk when they could be shipping kits to people who have been on the hook for a pre-order? Sio, how did you guys possibly think this would be seen as a good thing? You missed your window for showmanship, SHIP THE KITS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PouK9 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It seems like AMK waits for this tread to reach 200 pages to set the modelling hype record. Get on it, gents and ladies 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You get your very own AMK F-14D Tomcat kit (this offer void in space-time continuums with less than 14 dimensions, this offer in no way implies the existence of said Tomcat kit in this or any other continuum) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pre-orders, freebies, contests, delays, empty promises. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sierrascale Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 BTW, if you go to their FB page, The Official AMK (Avantgarde) Fan Club, be warned that the modelers who are organizing the so-called "contest" are basically attacking anyone standing in their way of getting a free Tomcat.

Wow... this AMK-soap opera has gone all the way down, rock bottom. I think there's nothing which could make it go deeper and deeper into their own scheiße. It'll go down in history as the worst manufacturer project campaign whatever... Even our kids will remember about it. What a shame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 OK I was let back in the AMK fan club. (for now anyway) that was entertaining and a little sad. there are the same white knights defending AMK's lousy business practices, and attacking this very thread. apparently using paint to illustrate the major and obvious flaws in the kit is bad somehow? I got a chuckle out of the whole thing. my favorite part: JB: shut up AV: no you shut up classic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and that 10,000 kits are going to be issued? LOL! Maybe 10, not 10,000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
