On the table this year.. to form!

This is just down-right weird. Guy comes here, solicits interest, sets up the molds and tooling to do a decent sized run, takes money from some folks and never ships the product out? What's up? Did he have an emergency, leave the country, file bankruptcy? Oh shit, Fritz is visiting the West Coast right now, never mind.

PayPal gives you 45 days to file a dispute, just as a heads-up to anyone who may have paid but not received anything.

I honestly don't think he is trying to rip anyone off, but communication would be nice. These things tend to snowball if people hear nothing for more than a week.
 
Oh, I thought maybe I read wrong and he was still working on these, hence why they haven't shown up yet, but the last PM I got from him was January 23rd, when he told me these were done and shipping out. Here is the PM:

Monitor bubble is done!
Go and check out the pics and get me your address so you can show this bad boy off!

That's why I am wondering if something happened to him in the meantime. If anyone knows what's up, LMK.
 
I have meet him and he seems like a good guy. he made me a set of Stormtrooper armor.

Last I knew he had jut got a new Job with Nike and has been swamped but that was about 3 weeks ago
 
Yeah, he lives in my town and I've gotten together with him a few times. Can't claim to know what the deal is but I sent him an email last night to let him know people are wondering what's up. It's been about a week and a half since I talked to him last. I know he works long hours during the week so I don't think he usually gets on klov during the week, and most of this kind of work is probably done on the weekend.
 
I will vouch for him as well. I know he works the long hours in a row, so it seems as if he disappears for a few days at a time.

He always held up his end of any deal we have done together. He is a video game nut as well, so he wont be leaving this place anytime.
 
Hey guys! I am so sorry I am behind and not able to get a message out. I am finishing bubbles fri and out fri. I will post here that they are shipped out. In addition to working my crazy hours I was asked to create a stormtrooper suit, last minute like always, for an upcoming commercial that is shooting today at 830 in Portland.

Thanks to all that vouch for me! I will not leave a man behind and I wont cheat you all! Had I known this crazy crap was going to happen I would have let you all know a better timeframe! Arrggghhh!

I will post tonight with some pics of the shoot and then tomorrow afternoon when the parts ship!

Phineas, how much would it cost me for you to form me some carbon fiber BattleZone joysticks shells? :)
 
They were going to do a metal one and I most certainly would have purchased 2 of those.

Looks like it's off the table now, unfortunately.
 
Is Phineas Foo really Dave from RAM Controls? Or maybe his Poker Partner? What's the deal with these things? Anyone ever get anything?
 
I know he was working a lot of hours leading up to the end of his job and I'm guessing he has been ramping back up on a lucrative yet very time consuming product he has made in the past to compensate, leaving no time for this. Not trying to justify anything and I have no stake in this other than that I know a little bit and wanted to share what I know. I've gotten the sense that he's a little frazzled at the moment. But now that his job is over I'd bet this stuff will get handled fairly quickly. I'm actually going over to his house tonight so I'll try to remember to mention this.
 
He PM'd me Sunday and said he still plans on getting this done but he understands if anyone wants a refund... something to that effect. I said I could wait a little longer but please don't make, and then break, promises... and don't go silent. I believe he's sincere because I haven't been dogging him at all. Just want to know if I am going to have to keep looking for a bubble or not.
 
I am on my way to mail the boxes out right now! I am finally all caught up and done with the assignment I had. I am mailing the bubbles and also pinball ramps too. Next is to fix the mold for the lunar lander control cover and then get those on the boards to buy. Those are being formed and ready to ship immediately.. no waititng on those..
 
yay! I am so glad it came! Cant wait to see it installed on the cabinet! WOO HOO!
