Cosmic Mongoose
so then, I got a package from mongoose today, wheee, could it be, could it be a mothership.... well, yes it was. An old style one. Now then, I had been lead to believe they were doing a new sculpt, so I have waiting a fracking year, to get the same somewhat blackened ugly ship they could have sent me all those months ago. I've a mind to drive to the convention in birmingham and ram it down someones throat!

yes, yes, I know I sound ungrateful, but I am ever so peeved!
 
Oh No ! :shock: :shock: :shock:
That must have been such a huge disappointment to open the box to find an old style Mothership! :evil: :evil:
 
Maybe someone just digged up your old order, found a dusty old-style MoShip and sent it to you without any connection to the new style MoShip being eventually released? Or maybe not... in any case, this sounds more like a bad joke than anything else
 
I dunno, I was so impressed with the quality of the kabrokta and thought, yay, mongoose on the up, and now they just dropped way way back down again. and It's given me a headache too :-(
 
i have been waiting for my psi judge for a very long time as well, when i enquired they sent the standard one cuse Nick was converting one for me
 
If true, Mongoose has a lot to explain for, right here, and right now. This is unacceptable business behavior; if this happened to me, I'd call my solicitor.

Matt? I think you need to address this.

Immediately.
 
Sorry to hear about this Hiff. That's a real boot in the root courtesy of Mongoose right there.
I'm amazed you haven't gone to Mongoose Towers and gone on a 'Postal' style murderous rampage. That would've been my reaction.

This is the worst business practice I've ever heard of. Hell, you'd have a better time buying a caravan from a bunch of Pikies than you've had from Mongoose.
 
I feel for you man. Maybe this is just to tie you over until the new one is finished - maybe you'll get two at the end of the day.

Agree 100% I think Hiff should go see the Office of Fair Trading about this.. I'd love to see what Mat says is the reason behide this. If Mongoose promised you a new result in an email, I hope you still have a copy of that email.

What happened to Mongoose, they used to be a real gem in the gaming world. With all the bad moves Mongoose have done recently they really can't afford any more 'damaging' bad public relations like this.
 
Legally at least, I do not believe Mongoose have actually done a thing wrong. They always offer refunds, and i was given the option all those many many moons ago, of receiving a mk 1 mo-ship and repairing the damage on it, which i declined, after all, I didn't want defective goods!
The issue alas is more to do with customer service, and the perceived belief on the forums that their was a new sculpt, heck, we have seen the idea for the new carrier, and were told the new mo-ship would appear. so to receive a mk1 style ship was a whopping kick in the crotch, I could have got one months ago and just milliputted the damned thing.
thing is, I love the game, but I am seriously now considering not buying another model again. I will make do with what I have, and tokens too.
I suppose I have been extremely unlucky, or mongoose just despise me, the way mine and morgs S+P submition was dealt with, then the continuing farce over the mo-ship. I certainly won't now be doing my next PDF (which was merely waiting for 2nd ed ships) which is unfair on Morgoth too. It kind of pains me that I have spent many hundreds on ACTA ships now, wish I had bought bloody BFG instead! forgeworlds Tau are quite nice.
 
I thought they had promised you a new resculpted ship, which you had paid for months ago?

If that's not the case, then yeah your right they haven't done anything illegal... still sucks, and it'd be nice to know why it's taken so long to get the Mothership.
 
Matt said I would get the second one off the production line. I guess it was implied it was a new design, but never officially stated, and I ain't running back through hundreds of posts to find it!
 
Mongoose is currently seeking a employee for the Mail Order/Customer relations side of things.
It badly needed.
This Mothership fiasco just seems to run and run, can it get any worse? :cry:
