NG CRP Requests

honestly I wonder if the wish list will ever be used again... if you wait enough time (like 100 years) eventually everything will be made but that invadilates the purpose of the wish list

they really should have been more clear. X amount of votes gets you “approved”. should regularly go through and clear away random slop and multiple of the same thing, and also have a clear rough timeline for each model. there’s just too much “in the air” on everything.

exactly. The important thing for me is that we do spend actual points to create these wishes, points that could have been used to exchange free models, so theyve got to do something. I spend over 50 points now creating all sorts of wishes and joining in which none of the ones I made have been made so far...
 
I've been spending a lot of points on this now, in hopes that down the line I can get a good ROI if and when they do the subjects I wished for and the ones I've joined. It's a big gamble in terms of my points, but at the end of the day I'm not losing out on too much. I wish there was clarity on a lot of questions we have for the wishlist, but NG hasn't brought light to any of that...
 
I was thinking over how a clear fair wish system should work and what I came up with:

1. they should have set certain threshold after what a model will be produced. this threshold could be reset in some time if they want to control amount of wished models they produce
2. wishes should have worked as crowdfunding. A wish would have a certain timeframe, I would say 3 or 6 month to reach the threshold after what it is removed and all votes are refunded in case it gets less then the threshold.
3. an airline and aircraft type should have cooldown for adding again to wishes so it doesnt end up producing 20 Frontier in a row and other models would have a chance to be produced
4. in case a model that reaches the threshold does not much their vision or not considered economically viable to produce they clearly state it and refund all votes

I see your point but to be honest, I think that’s not very fair for the collectors making such wishes. I might be biased as I have a few wishes which don’t have a lot of votes but the wish centre is probably the only way to suggest models NG wouldn’t even consider making by themselves, and that includes less popular airlines. And that’s the point of a wish centre, wishing for models, even less popular subject matters. I don’t think that removing wishes just because that they aren’t popular enough to gather votes really quickly should be removed. And I think it’s only fair that approved models get released, in a reasonable amount of time, no matter what it is. If it doesn’t make enough economic sense for NG to release it, then that’s a different matter and they should state so indeed but with the approved label comes with the expectation of a release. There are a lot of approved models that have not even reached the NG future releases status yet, including some of the very first models to be approved.

All my wishes are the same, and they get no attention at all because there are over 1,800 wish records. After a week, your wish is so low on the list that almost no one sees it. In my opinion, if a wish had a limited time, it would reduce the number of wish records what exists simultaneously and make it more likely that someone notices your wish and votes for it.
 
When did the CRP program begin?
As in, when did we start having the redemption cards in the box for the first time?
I recall the CRP on the website was inaugurated much later?

The cards first came on models released from January 2022 and onwards, although some delayed models from the October 2021 release sets and onwards ended up getting CRP cards included with them. A good rule of thumb would be any model that left the factory towards the end of December 2021 seems to have been included with the CRP cards

One way I suggest combating this is using multiple platforms to push your wish onto other interested collectors. I’ve seen you post them here and on social media, but if you have other platforms like Facebook/Instagram, I would suggest making some posts there to get the attention of more collectors. I haven’t had success all the time when it comes to some of my wishes using these tactics, but it can draw in a few votes here and there as seen with the Frontier tails. It’s very much like a marketing campaign in a way.

I only do this because, sometimes, you gotta take matters into your own hands.
