PhantomMajor Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 some bad news on the raptor front boys and girls.i emailed moebius regarding the raptor as they had originally said it would be released at the start of 2016, this has now been put back, their response to my email was thus; " It is still in the works and will be out later this year. the other option and far more expensive would be this raptor from Badazz http://jt-graphics.com/MK_BA.html scroll half way down the page and you will see three versions of the raptor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzio Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Wasn't this supposed to have been released a few years back?? Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one. Kind Regards, Dazz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Disciple Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Those look like resin kits & the price matches at $150 to $200+ Its a shame Moebius are putting the release back, but IMO id rather theyd delay the release & make an awesome kit than rush it & rely on aftermarket parts to correct mistakes.

PhantomMajor Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Tbh I don't think that they will make one as the raptor has been delayed for 12 months now and BSG is old news as the new star wars film takes centre stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) The following was posted on Hobbytalks Moebuis tread today and also mentioned on facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/Moebius-Models-152580141448964/ Hi allI had a brief Twitter conversation with Moebius today, when I saw a Twitter link for the Facebook post.Conversation went as follows:Moebius ModelsThanks to Doug Drexler, here's a treasure trove of images to help detail your Raptor. We had access to the ship a... http://fb.me/7eny1egu9MeQuickie! Is this an official announcement of a Raptor? '-'Moebius Modelsit was actually announced last year, all retailers should have ordering access.Me@moebiusmodels Many thx for the response. My apologies for asking further: is there an ETA on the final kit? BTW: great fan of the company..Moebius Models3-4 months, still needs packaging and a small tooling tweak.Me@moebiusmodels Excellent news.

PhantomMajor Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 interesting. at least they admit that it's almost a year late. back in September I emailed them and they said it would be released in a few months time, so they are repeating themselves again. still we can but hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look good, not bad for the first attempt. Looks like they will do a cgi version & a full interior version too. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomMajor Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 ah ok, at least now i have a start place... couldn't stay up and watch the whole video as i was due to go to bed ( i work nights). this appears to be a test bed from moebius as he mentions there are no instructions with the kit and i had heard someone was given a test subject to work with. thanks for posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I just noticed that in the 2001 Discovery video that there's a BSG Raptor in the background, so maybe it's back on the boil again? It's showing as Pre-order on their website too. Anyone know any more? I'd kind of like one to go with my other BSG kits EDIT: Just saw a dispatch date of 31/05/2017 as the release date on one shop's site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't really news as they announced that 9-12 months ago and despite some one posting a comment about a release later on this year, there hasn't been a raptor added to the moebius website never mind a "coming soon" tag. I got fed up with waiting and bought the resin bad@$$ version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I looked at a lot of sites on the subject y'day, and iirc Moebius were showing it as coming soon. I've not been keeping up with the story, so the weapons set was news to me, and it looks to be a must-have to make it look as you say, a bit more combative.

Richard Baker Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 IIRC the Raptor kit has been ready for a while but the license agreements had to be renewed and the powers that be were dragging their feet. Looks like that has finally been resolved and production is finally getting queued up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like that has finally been resolved and production is finally getting queued up. That's been said since the middle of last year and there has been no hard evidence to back this claim up. All they do say is that they hope to release the Raptor soon which is what they have said since November 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 "The much anticipated Battlestar Galactica Raptor.

Deadman Disciple Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Only problem with ordering the Raptor from Moebius direct or Culttvman, is the customs charges Parcelfarce will stamp on it. Happened to me when I ordered the old school Galactica & the new Pegasus. But I came across this just. http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_8188_8190 It only lists the extra armament set, but at least its a UK seller. Wayne.

Nocoolname Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Gave up on the Moebius kit and am also looking into the Bad Azz version. The Moebius version is the "Duke Nukem Forver" of Sci-Fi kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Quote Only problem with ordering the Raptor from Moebius direct or Culttvman, is the customs charges Parcelfarce will stamp on it. It's not Parcelfarce that imposes the customs charges HMRC impose it based on the cost which is about $18 for goods and $36 for gifts, Parcelfarce then add a handling charge for collecting the duty on behalf of HMRC, which is one of the things that bugs me, the other being the fact that you have to wait for a letter from them before you know what the duty is. Your best option is to befriend someone in the US and ask them to post it as a gift, though you will probably get stuffed by the cost of postage from the US!

Thats why im hoping that Forbidden Planet will update the page with selling the Raptor kit along with armaments set they are currently advertising. Wayne.

Deadman Disciple Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Just bored watching tele & did another search for the Raptor. Hannants are doing a future release listing. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MMK962 And for the armament set. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MMK968 Wayne Edited April 24, 2017 by Deadman Disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
