comments to new BB, JDE 2(sweet) - Page 2

Shawn Moynihan · 05-10-2002, 01:20 PM

Suichai,
1st of all: I was JOKING.
2nd: I said," Someone NEEDS," I did not say that I will FORCE anyone.

( why do I feel like I am talking to a adolescent? Is it because they take an easy offense to anything said ?)

Feel free to comment on ANYTHING you wish, AND I never said you cannot, YET I will be free with my speach as long as it is not offensive as well.

Why NOt use exaggerated words ? I thought that I got the point across quite well.

As for the technology in tamp printing goes, I do know for a fact that BigBird is using the most advanced technology on the market today, bar none.

It is ludricous to think that Herpa's printing exceeds BigBird's when they are using the same tamp printing machines.
From what I have seen of what I have in my hands and what I have seen in photo's, I will have to say that YOUR OPINION is an odd perspective.
I DO NOT HAVE A BLURRY PRINTED BIGBIRD, NOR WILL I EVER.

The owner of BigBird is a very close friend of mine and he desires to blow everyone out of the water. He wants to be the BEST diecast airplane company in the world.
And I think he is definitely there.
And if he is not, he will do what ever it takes to get there.

PS: I warmly invite you to come to Seattle,Washington to visit the Boeing factory and be my guest. I love this hobby and would love to make more friends. what I say on this site should be taken with a grain of salt.

To be honest, the quality of BB JDE#2 is not as good as the JDE#3. I've seen several JDE#2 and they all have small defects.

I'm not saying whether BB or Herpa is better on this one. Just that this JDE#2 is not as good as the previous BB releases.

Yea !! Herpa has invested thousands of dollars in technology that know else can get. Right !! The tamp printing of all of my BB's are better than StarJets and Herpa, and I will argue that until I am blue in the face.

do you mean i am "someone". i am just expressing my opinion, sharing my opinion. i think every wings900 have this right, does it make sense?

i doubt that you have the right to FORCE me TO CHANGE my prescription on my gl*****?

in my stand point, JDE 2 of BB is worse than herpa's one.

please don't use exaggerated word.

Hey suichai, don't get angry, Shawn only meant it as a friendly joke

Here are the Bigbird models

I totally agree that the quality of BB is much much better than Herpa. And if BB can print the upper deck windows at their correct position (relative to the cockpit windows), and print the upper deck door with correct size, then the model will be perfect. Hope BB can rectify these problems in their future releases! I don't buy Herpa's B747 as their upper deck windows are always printed too high and the doors are too small. These problems have been complained by many collectors for years but Herpa didn't want to rectify.

I didn't buy BB one cos I have Herpa. I check this out one day in AC, the painting is OK, I don't see any problem. Both of them are great.

totally agree. The JDE 2 is not as god as the previous BB.
IMO, the pokemon jet is the best job for BB.

aa928 · 05-11-2002, 01:12 AM

Actually the Ansett blue is quite nice!

I guess you are probably right, seeing the big success the JAL 3 was they got it out as quickly as possible, The THAI royal barge is anounced since a while back and the Sweet model was rumoured one day, confirmed the other, and for sale the next. Very fast and still no THAI royal barge.
