Moebius Models Replacement Parts

[fseva]

Just thought I would relate my experience with replacing the front bumper on my 1965 Satellite. I emailed Moebius and they replied saying that if I wanted a replacement, it would cost $2.95 and that I could Paypal it to them. This is for a part failure that technically was more their fault than mine - all I had tried to do was remove some fingerprints, and the chrome was so thin, it took only a few seconds with a shop towel to start removing it! Regardless of whose fault it was, I was glad to spend $2.95 instead of having to pay for a new kit!

Frank told us a couple of weeks ago that they supply free replacement parts.  Was the $2,95 for the part or postage?

Which Frank are you talking about - not me?! The $2.95 was what they quoted... I have no idea if that's the parts fee or the postage...

My guess is, that's postage.

I'm sure it would cost all of that to ship it across the street.

Frank as in the president of Mobieus.

So, do you think "Frank" meant 100% free, like Revell does?

That's certainly the impression he gave at the meeting.

But I still doubt very much that Mobius will pony up shipping for every part they send out.

At least I know I wouldn't.
