comments to new BB, JDE 2(sweet):

the print is worse than herpa. very blur.

the only advantage is the "no step" on the wing.

Well,
thats a little discouraging. I was really looking forward to this one. I wonder why the printing would be worse than the first Disney release ?

Mr Butterscotch Baggins · 05-09-2002, 02:13 PM

Suichai,

Since I've already ordered one of these, to the tune of nearly seventy dollars, I'd be interested in how many of these you've seen in order to make that judgment.

Cheers,

BB

as you know that, hongkong collectors can go to the shop and check the model carefully before purchase.

i checked 3 models, but they were the same.
i think the printing machine of herpa is better than BB. cos herpa can handle such small print.

Well, that sounds strange to me...

As far as those BB JDE#3s that I've seen, the quality of imprints is up to par with that of Herpa's. So why then the BB JDE#2 appeared worse than a former release?

IMO the JDE#2 wouldn't be more difficult to be produced as of printing work. Any hint on this?

Cheers.

Well pink isn´t really my color but my collection of the JAL´s would not be complete without it, so good or awful I´m buying it.

By the way did you know they are already sold out in aviation center hk?

Cheers

Mr Butterscotch Baggins · 05-09-2002, 06:36 PM

Yow! You're right. SOLD OUT with emphatic large letters. It will be interesting to see the actual plane I've ordered.

Now you have me worried, I have a Blue and a Pink on the way to me now. I will post my verdict when I get them and compare them to my Herpa ones.
Regards
John

hi john

how much is your transport charge for the 2 models? because i've ordered my JAL 'Blue' also, but i'am waiting when the 'sea' will gonna be released, so i can shipped at one time. i asked to aviation center hk, but no answer.the shipping cost still the same?

John Williams · 05-10-2002, 12:42 AM

Hi Highflyer,
I was charged HK150 each for shipping to New Zealand.

I think someone needs to change the prescription on their gl*****. That looks WAY BETTER than a piece of dung Herpie !! LOL

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.
