The bullshit excuses they're using don't fly under EU or Australian consumer law (or anywhere else that has half decent consumer protections, sorry Americans).

In the EU you have a right to request a refund until they've delivered (and some period after - perhaps 14 days?). They'll almost certainly try to argue the point but the law is on your side. There was a guy from Australia who posted in the thread ages ago and successfully claimed a refund, though iirc they worded it like they were doing him a favour and didn't actually have to.

Will have to look through the thread, thankyou.

Alrighty, tried the whole CS refund thing, citing the fact that I haven't agreed to TOS (only downloaded the original "demo" software). Also that the TOS doesn't even come close to complying with Australian law, the best they could do is to keep copy/pasting the usual bullshit then ignoring me..ACCC complaint coming.

I have an idea...

I have in my possession a "Constellation" model, that I am willing to smash with a sledge hammer and film it. I would just need help with video editing and graphics etc. After which I would allow anybody (on SA) to use the clip for any nefarious purpose. It will take some time to organise as said object is in storage and I'd need to drive somewhere to retrieve from a storage unit..


Thoughts?

Melting it seems the popular choice, then smash the remains up and mail it to CIG perhaps?

To be honest I'd sell it on ebay and buy something fun or useful. Trashing it just seems like a waste that will be funny for about 5 seconds.

Also it was made in China, melting it or whatever will probably release toxic gasses that kills your whole street.

Indeed, it's probably releasing toxic gas now PAARRRRRP, i'll dig it out over the weekend and revisit the idea, but you do have a point.

Melting it will also provide better footage than smashing it unless you have a high speed camera.

If you burn it, have a test run on something else first to make sure your camera is going to do it justice - unlike CIG.

p.s. stick it to a stick and run around with it with the camera behind it making space whooshing sounds - the SC nerds will love that then cry when you burn/melt it.

p.s.s. dose it have LTI?

p.s.s.s Also, you should wait until you have finish your claim with the ACCC and Robert Space Industry

Yep have a Canon 7D bought for motorsport pics, spits out 10fps.

p.s. - Interesting may have to draft a story board

p.s.s - No LTI, just a cardboard box and foam

At first I was going to just reiterate what AP said -sell that poo poo and buy something useful if you don't want it because melting it is not only impractical, downright toxic, not to mention it comes off a little like one of those isis guys burning an effigy or something, and acetone wouldn't do poo poo to that thing other than strip paint and frost the canopies, maybe make the plastic bits softer.

However upon further reflection, I think you should send it to the 'Hydraulic Press Channel' guy... it would not only get a proper death of most satisfactory destruction, it would be filmed with a high speed camera and likely wind up posted to the front page of reddit
with hundreds of thousands of views and a huge discussion, they loving love that guy.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No fan mail from goons I see.

Open your eyes,
Look up to Der-ek and see,
I'm think I'm a model, I get no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
My wage is very high, not so low,
Anyway the backers should sue me....I mean not me

Mama, just sacked a man,
Had the phone against his head,
Screamed your fired, your fired your fired, now he's dead.
Mama, the scheme had just begun,
But now the backers want to run away.

Mama, ooh,
I'm really mean. i'll make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.

Too late, FBI has come,
Sent shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the lawsuit.

Mama, ooh (anyway the wind blows),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish we'd never crowd funded at all.

We use student software that is the plan,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, can anyone do the coding?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening..please
Its a stretch goal, it's a stretch goal
It's a stretch goal, it's a stretch goal
gently caress it...backers will never know
It's so Magnifico.

I'm just a poor girl, nobody loves me.
She's just a poor girl with a money grabbing fantasy,
Spare us this fake education mock-ery...

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let her go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never, never let you go
Never let me go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.)
Derek Smart has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.

Would you like stone me and spit in my eye?
Please can you just wait till I get LTI?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.

(Oh, yeah, oh yeah)

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
CIG is really run by ...me.

Anyway the wind blows.
