Isn't it illegal to make money off of someone else's intelectual property?

These models are very hard to come by. I know because I''ve looked EVERYWHERE.

 :confused: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,40807.msg832154.html

Anyway, I wouldn't pay $61 for that. For $61, I want it actually look like a Shivan, be fully jointed, and have a beam cannon and a top hat.

Ya I saw that a few weeks ago when I was trying to put together that scene for the FS Paint moments, that I quickly deleted.

Morally, no.  Legally, yes.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's not the same model.  Nico/Venom's model is noticeably different in shape and color.

I don't think I would pay $61 even for Volition's original Shivan model.

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

If only those poor commandos in Hallfight.mve had used REAL TIME WEAPON CHANGE, they might still be alive.
