BSG model kits

[Slater]

Over the years, Monogram's Cylon Raider, Cylon Basestar, and Colonial Viper have seen reissues. However, the Galactica kit has not (to the best of my knowlege). Anyone know why this is?

Seems there was a 1997 Galactica kit too... must just be RARE?

For the recent 30th anniv ones... I think it is a copyright deal... I read that once I remember, but I can't find the web page/facts right now. Grrr.

BUT I'm with you, Slater, I WISH THEY WOULD MAKE ONE!

Will this help:

Regardless of that, under copyright laws, no complete image of the original Galactica can be reproduced in any way without the consent of Glenn A. Larson. Companies that sell "Upgrade" kits can do so because they are not reproducing and selling their products in a fasion that makes those pieces exclusively recognizeable as componants of a copywritten image. What I mean is that you dont look at pieces from the Revell Galactica Upgrade on their own and say HEY, That is part of Glenn A Larson's Battlestar Galactica"!

As to why Glenn A. Larson will not release the image for Revell or anyone else to make and sell a full kit from, who knows. I'm sure he has his reasons no matter how much we may think they suck or not. I know he was approached several times, including once by Richard Hatch, to buy the copyrights to the Battlestar Galactic but every approach has been denied.

Some reason Glen must think if he is ever able to get the Galactica in original form back on the big screen he might make a fortune selling models. Well I am sure Glen will have a pocket full of money in his grave for doing that......In his dreams.

Glen made Battlestar Galactica and Knight Rider that I love - obviously.
But he is quite the has-been now... he needs to sell out and let the properties live on, or just do something with them already.

I have one of those 1997 Galactica Re-issues.
