$2000 Floating Nyx a CCP Scam?

I found a thread in some other forums discussing Triforce and their lack of good consumer support, stealing from credit card without delivery of cancelled preorders and not notifying client about cancelation. It was from 2015. http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/general-collectibles-statues-props-etc-/162941-advice-collectors-project-triforce-joke.html

Seriously, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Why did CCP even agreed to let them use their IP?

oh i’d say a nice slice of the action, say 60% to CCP 40% to the scrub robbing bastard company that tri is. how the hell didn’t CCP vet these clowns. they’ve a history of shagging people over and not delivering their products on time if at all.

i really hope this doesn’t damage any chances of others producing models, i know i’d buy and build them if they where on the market, or i could just just get them 3D printed.

hell why hasn;t CCP invested in a professional 3D printer and start churning these bad boys out, sell them, give them as gifts or rewards for in game stuff.

Quality starts to be comparable to a models from injection mold at a priceranges of 3D printers that do UV resin printing.

In comparison you can find how expensive is injection molding:

You of course need parts descriptions that you would want to produce.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

Please take a look at this article by CCP regarding the Levitating Nyx.

An Ongoing investigation is underway by CCP and more information will be posted as CCP finds it out.

Something something scams are a crime irl?
If you pay for something that was advertised, and you didn’t receive it it’s a scam…

That’s what I said.

Isn’t that the original article with the news of cancelling the agreement?

It is, nothing new since then unfortunately.
Its a difficult situation now. CCP could ā€œwash their hands off thatā€. Is it their fault that Triforce left people with cancelled preorders? Really no. But its CCP decision that they went to them with this project. That is why I think that CCP legal team should help resolve that for EVE players. But maybe they can do nothing, maybe they even dont have to do anything legally…

Id think that the IP and reputation of CCP is worth the effort/cost to protect.
Certainly, I would advise that.

Anyway, they could help by giving advice, if not by some direct action against Triforce.

when you said you, did you mean me or CCP? because i’m not planning on buying one at the mo :wink:
but i would buy a model of a few ships if they where available and good quality. hell i know lots in EVE that would spend silly money getting their hands on their fav ship/ships.

I wouldnt spend silly amounts, but Id certainly be interested in reasonably affordable ship models, especially if unpainted, so I can do it myself.

Hell, plastic sprue based models I can assemble myself, and you got me right away.
Dont even need to be large. 15-30cm across and Im sold like a mofo.
