Model Orbiter partwork

model_orbiter.JPGThe Model Orbiter partwork launched today. Actually, launched is not the right word.  We received stock but no collateral.  You can’t promote new partworks without collateral.  I am sure there will be an excuse.  It is not good enough.  Collateral should arrive with the stock as this is when we allocate space and have resources for creating displays.

    This looks like another con/scam with the cheap first edition at $4.95 but the subsequent issues $30.00 to $50.00 each. You end up paying $100’s for the whole item.
    If they were honest they would TELL you how much subsequent issues will cost. But then of course very few people would buy the first issue.
    I have seen dozens of this type of sales promotions, because I don’t know the subsequent issue costs I have NEVER purchased one, and was thankful when the price of subsequent issues became available.

    Ora, you should be able to back order these from your local newsagency. They will be able to tell you how far back you can go and how much it may be.

    Brian, most tell you the cost of the subsequent issues but its in REALLY small print. On TV ads its generally at the bottom of the screen. Your newsagent should be able to tell you what the cost of the subsequent issues will be.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Ora and Shaun I will take a closer look at the Model Orbiter douments an check with the news agent. When you have been bitten many times before you get supicious. Going on what you are saying I will be getting the Model Orbiter each time they are released. Devices like this go beyond artwork they are effectively the 4th dimension because it they diferent everytime you look at it. OK I’m weid at my age (nearly 70) I don’t care
    Thanks again Ora and Shaun
    Regards

    Try as I might I still cannot find a complete
    price for the ORBITER kit/s. Many prices ?Many Issues? Many Stages?
    My Newsagent just scratches her head and says she can’t work it out either. Please spell it out for me. It can’t be that hard for you. How much altogether?
