[CAIN MKII]

It will be mine :)

[Morgul Steve]

Jeeze dude don't you even want to know the price?

[Chronicle CS]

Steve you obviously have some axe to grind, if you want to pm me personally I'll help you work through whatever problem you have with me or our company.

Paul

[CAIN MKII]

Jeeze dude don't you even want to know the price?

The price?
I don't mind, this beauty will be mine and I'm confident CC will charge the best price for a high quality collectible :)
Child dream coming true is priceless

[Morgul Steve]

Sorry but I don't have an endless pile of money. Also I am in the process of buying a new house so I have to watch what I spend. I would just like to know the price so I can decide if this is a go or no go.

[Viper245]

If the price is right, I'll most likely place an order for this piece. I love the scale and detail on it. It just doesn't get much better than Buck's good ol' trusty Starfighter.

[CallMe_Snake]

This piece looks awesome. Love the paint and details.
I honestly don't know much about Buck Rogers... yet I want this replica. Haha

Good job Chronicle!

The look and the presentation of this...
It just makes me drool over the thought of other studio scale sci-fi crafts I'd love to see Chronicle tackle.

[Chronicle CS]

Retail is $750, this is a big ship with lights in the engines and logo base.

This is a lot less than other companies offering ships of similar size and pedigree.

[Viper245]

That's a good price considering the scale, light up features, and detail on this piece. Thanks for posting it here early, Paul.

Is the ES still planned to be 250?

[Morgul Steve]

$750 is a good price. I really like these types of collectibles. I wanted to order the Qmx Star Trek models but at $5k a pop they were too rich for my blood.

I have a Star Destroyer Anigrand kit that was built for me. Cost around $3k and lights up. Yeah that's a lot but hey it's Star Wars.

[Chronicle CS]

I agree that Star Was can command a higher price. Our original masters came from John Eaves of Star Trek fame and we know it's as close to the original as possible.

The ES is 200 pieces, 100 US and 100 International.

This one was a passion project.....

Paul

[pacino]

Love it Paul.. I'm in :thumbs2:

This will be my 4th item from Chronicle

[Chronicle CS]

I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone that buys our products, by buying direct you support our company and that means a lot.

I may get frustrated by some comments, but you guys are the best and it's been fun getting to know some of you personally.

That seals it for me. I'm in. This will be a really special piece to add to my collection. Thank you for making it, Paul. Passion projects are a good thing to mix in with high demand pieces every once in a while as long as they don't break the bank.

[Morgul Steve]

Yeah it's a great looking ship and so big. I remember watching the show with my dad when I was a teenager. Great memories. I will be ordering this but definitely taking advantage of the payment plan.

[Chronicle CS]

Up to 10 Months applies to all of our products...

Paul

[xforce]

I may actually be in for this one.

My favorite stuff
Battle Star Galatica original viper, or battlestar
and buck rodgers

We need to support you otherwise how are we gonna get all these incredible passion products no other companies will do!

[xforce]

Any chance we will see something from star trek like enterprise or Battle star Galatica?

[xforce]

Last question any chance we would be getting a draconian raider in the future to display with it?

Paul made mention of the raider early on but I am not sure if that piece is still a go.

[Viper245]

I would definitely be down for a highly detailed replica of a BSG Viper.

[Chronicle CS]

eFX has the Galactica license, we'd have already made the ships if the license were available. Who knows if they don't produce before their license is up we may be able to make a Viper and Raider.

I'd love to make the Draconian fighter if this piece sells well.

Let's get the word out!

Please like and share our Facebook and post to any forum where you think guys will want a cool 70's spaceship.

Hopefully one day you guys can get the BSG license, Paul.

I would definitely be interested in a Draconian fighter so I hope it happens.

[zadmax]

Ok, it's up. (pre) Purchased!
:buttrock:

[CAIN MKII]

Purchased :)

[xforce]

Still mulling this one over I assume I have a few weeks before this sells out. I am leaning heavy on the buy side

[Choopie]

This one is on the list. I haven't preordered yet as I'm still figuring out my collectibles budget for 2016.

[built2shred]

Being I grew up on this series I couldn't pass it up.... lots of Nostalgia.. Props to Chronicle for making this awesome piece.... I went with the 3 payment plan... that way it won't hurt as much :)

Paul.. What material is the Buck Rogers Starfighter made of?

Looks great

[Chronicle CS]

It will be all resin.

[pacino]

It will be all resin.

Music to my ears.. Gonna PO right now!

[xforce]

I remember reading the price would be cheaper during the first 30 days of the PO. Is the price going to go up in a month?

Really leaning towards buying this but will eat up most of my 2016 collectible budget

[clutch]

Does the canopy come off? Why does it look like it is floating?

[Chronicle CS]

The canopy doesn't come off and I'm not sure I get the floating comment. This one does come off of our prototype and it could be a slight shadow casting from the sides. Honestly I didn't notice anything until you posted.

Paul

[Chronicle CS]

The price is set, we don't have a pre-order price on this. I kept it as affordable as possible and it's strictly limited to 100 Pieces US.

Paul

[Choopie]

So are you closing to PO out in 30 days?

[Chronicle CS]

Sales are sluggish, maybe old space ships don't have a big following...?

[Viper245]

I think this piece will be slow burn but will definetly sell out. Just give it time. It's a fantastic replica of the Starfighter. I haven't placed an order yet but plan to within the next week or so.

Paul, I hope you consider making more replicas like this one.

Hopefully the Draconian Raider is still in the cards.

[dao2]

Sales are sluggish, maybe old space ships don't have a big following...?

Serenity sure would :P

[Viper245]

Serenity sure would :P

Agreed

I also think Farscape has some great candidates for ship replicas. Moya and Talyn come to mind.

[CAIN MKII]

Sales are sluggish, maybe old space ships don't have a big following...?

What a shame :(
This is a classic, a beautiful one.
I'm confident it will sell well as soon as the words spread.

[pacino]

My PO is in.. Hoping sales pickup for you.

[xforce]

I will be POing within the week also so sales should pick up a little

[clutch]

Yes, the shadow makes it look like a gap there. I seem to remember some kits having the option to do a two seater by swapping out the canopies, but I don't know how practical that would be here.

[Enforcer]

Sales are sluggish, maybe old space ships don't have a big following...?I don't think many of your current customer base cares much for Buck Rogers....frankly, I didn't know the show existed until recently. You'll need word to spread to people that have watched the show :x

I can name several old space ships that have plenty of people following them from the 70s and 80s....

[Chronicle CS]

We have the two seater canopy and thought about offering that as a club exclusive. Probably won't happen at this point, but you never know.

Paul

[Viper245]

Paul

I'd be interested in the double canopy. The club option is a good idea or maybe as a bonus for those that order direct.

A thought just crossed my mind. If the single canopy isn't removable on the production replicas then how would you change canopies?

[xforce]

Paul

will the club cost money to join? when is the club going live? If I order the starfighter and later join the club would the benefits of the club be retroactive?

Thanks

[gagaliya]

More to do with source material than old ships.

get star war prop license and see how sluggish xwing will be :rolleyes:

[MK Ultra]

Agreed.

[BLADES OF STEAL]

Just found out this was available through the newsletter and ordered it. 100 is a pretty low ES although I was hoping it would be a little cheaper. $450-$550 would have been nice.

[CAIN MKII]

Two seater canopy all the way for me :)

[built2shred]

70's Battlestar Galactica Viper and Cylon ship would be awesome. But yeah with Buck Rogers, unless you grew up on it, it's probably a tough sell although I would be surprised if you don't sell out the 100 pretty soon...

I pre-ordered mine last week so I'm set...

[BLADES OF STEAL]

Are there any pictures of the light up features anywhere?

[El Diablo]

Sales are sluggish, maybe old space ships don't have a big following... ?

:peoples: seriously?

[Dirt Torpedo]

Sorry to say I never liked Buck Rogers. That irratating phallic headed robot got on my nerves.

[El Diablo]

Biddi.. Biddi.... Biddi... What's up buck!?

[CAIN MKII]

Never saw the show but it was my favourite space ship toy when I was a kid :)
Now I can have a BIG one.

[xforce]

Paul is there any way to pay part by money order?

[Chronicle CS]

Yes you can send a money order.

Please contact Amy: agarrett@chroniclecollectibles.com

So excited you went ahead and made the starfigher it is truly a dream of mine to own one, my only issue was getting the funding together. Diverted some sideshow money to this instead!!

[xforce]

Not sure of Turn around time on emails, I emailed her yesterday morning and have not heard back

Amy will get back to you xforce. Just give it a couple of days.

[xforce]

Thanks Viper. I have waited 37 years for this I can wait a few more days

:cool:

[xforce]

Paul how are sales going on the star fighter, last time you said slow hoping slow but steady?

Have you thought about doing a signature edition and seeing if you could get Gil Gerard or Erin grey to sign the bases?
