I have no conscience.....aaahhhh......shoot me
Actually the parts I have orderee from R-M were genuine, the one time the kit DID come missing the oil-pump belt, the next time the kit did have badly molded wheels, the third time the body was warped to hell, I even phoned the factory and sent the body back for them to see how BAD it was.....so is that ripping them off?
After those 3 incidents I have never bought another R-M kit.....I refuse to pay for scrap plastic.....

the cheapest i can get a R-M kit for is 20 bucks canadian, the god damn revell ITR costed me over 30 bucks...and by paying "shipping" we are paying for the part............and you think r-m cannot afford a few cheap spare part's? a multi-billion dollar company?............if they didnt want people to order parts even if they already had them, they would NOT offer the service!.......but i dont care what you do, because you will have no impact on my life or what i do within my life........nor will i........
Another Canadian loser Revell offers this as a service to promote good customer relations and help modelers. Your exploiting this might come back to bite you!
And yes, they are cheap! You should shop better or drop the hobby if you have to "steal" parts.
And stay out of Florida, we hate cheap Canadians!!

thanking my maker I am neither American nor Canadian :P

I think you are all taking this WAY too seriously, in the long haul, we are all as bad or as good, does it make any difference what country we live in?
You bitch at a Canadian for using the system set up to his advantage, but the guys that killed Enron and Worldcom were American, what do you have to say about them?

Wrong, I bitch about him exploiting a system that is set up for all of our advantage and one that I have legitimately used in the past and I don't want that service to disappear in the future because of abuse. That "50-cent worth of plastic" costs the company much, much more when you consider they have to set-up an entire department for it, discard the rest of the model the parts come from (models are molded complete), pay for the 800 number, track shipping, etc, etc... That 50-cent part ends up costing closer to $10.00 when you factor the other expeses involved.

As for the Worldcom, Enron, Adelphia situation, trust me when I say there are some serious scumbags in this country just like every other country. The system that allowed this to happen was created by Mr. Clinton (a scumbag that Europe loved!) and they will all pay in the end. I had invested in the stock market from 1985 until 1999 when I saw all the signals of a shrinking market (heavy inventories, no Y2K bug meltdown, slowing computer sales, over-priced stocks). I dumped most everything early and made-out quite fine, thank you. Those who got hammered where either not paying attention, made some REALLY stupid buying choices, or trusted someone to do their homework for them. If you researched Enron at it's highest point (4/01) you would have seen a problem; where did they get these reported profits?!
Never trust anyone with your family's future, your property, or your money. Educate and trust yourself in these matters. I've never had a job that paid over $35,000. a year, but I'm wealthier than anyone I graduated with in 1988.
Mentel, I shouldn't have blasted your nationality. I'll eat a maple leaf tonight for my penance.
