....everyone seems of the opinion that I, or someone else is getting at Dave.

As i've stated clearly before, that's not the case.

I blame Jeff Parks. He made a bulk order with Dave on our behalf. We are all grateful for the discount and equally grateful to Dave for shouldering the burden of logistics for this project.

Sporak....I complained about the frequency of updates because Dave told us he would update us regularly via his website. I appreciate that he has had problems with his home life....and i also agree that home life always takes priority over whinging arsed twats wondering whats happening with our coveted bits of metal and plastic.

As stated before by me, i bet Dave wishes he hadn't taken on this project.

Don't be so defensive people....all i asked for was an update.....

no rich, from what i'm reading in this thread, noone is claiming you're getting at dave. peacemaker took a stab at dave's character. it was the following post that got people chiming in to defend dave...

well from what i keep reading on these forums is that parks or anyone assosiated with parks are bad.

....asking for an update is cool, don't be so defensive.

B)

...and, i agree with doc.... you guys want to do anything, file a claim and/or call jeff telling him you're doing so.

-pat.

 

[clancampbell]

Sorry for being touchy....

Going on Mr. Parks' attitude and responses to us proppers lately, i don't think calling him or filing a claim would do much good. just look at how he responded to the guy who loaned him a nice MPP.....

i just want what i paid for....and to play with my toys.

[DrStranglove]

It would if you actually did it. People get very open when cops and DA'a start calling them. Just ask Jedi 135...

 

[clancampbell]

In which case i guess we'd have to get a petition together....

Rich

 

[DrStranglove]

That will not do anything.

You have to complain to your local law enforcement agency.

well i wasnt really trying to start anything, i just read theres a bunch of people like boycotting him or something like that. i read a while that parks lied to ghost host and replaced one of his parts or something. i wasnt trying to start anything.

peacemaker... for someone with a screen name such as that, i found your post contradicting, nothing in your post was what i'd consider making peace.

are you stating that you've read somewhere that 'anyone', including itbedave, is a "bad" person? if so, i'd like to see that evidence proving.

i've known dave for over 4 yrs now and can say on MANY levels he's an upright man and genuine lover of this prop hobby. insinuating he's a bad person because of another persons' delays is completely unfair.

yes, he prob. does regret getting involved but, he stands by jeff parks. from what i know of dave, he has NEVER screwed anyone on anything.

for the record, since some are asking, his wife is on the mends now and dave's personal life is getting back on track. i'll not defend the project, jeff parks' or the delays regarding but, seeing someone attack another person's reputation and/or character... i will defend that person if i disagree.... and i do here.

also i didnt "take a stab at dave". he sounds like an ok guy, parks was who i mainly meant in my original post. hope no harm has been done.

 

[danvader]

Did someone succeed in contacting Dave or Jeff Parks ?
I sent e-mail to Dave....but no answer....Is he OK ?

The kit was retailing for $250, and no, nobody has gotten a full kit from all I've read about it.

I seriously was tempted to get it because I want to build my own sabers and the cost sounded good but obviously it was too good to be true.

You have to feel sympathy for the people who have been waiting over a year for a full kit. This leaves egg on their faces and it's completely ruined Parks' reputation.

There's no question there's a lot of bad blood over this fiasco. A few months delay is one thing, a year or more wait is another.

Actually, for those of us who chose to go through Dave, we got a group discount price of $185. That's a price that couldn't be beat considering a replica MPP goes for at least $150. For another $35, you get the parts to build an Obi ANH, a Vader and a droid caller.

[PeaceMaker]

btw, what is exactly in this kit?

250....

that is to good to be true...

i hope they do come through on theyre end... kinda looks like they are not.

everyday i keep hoping as i see this thread at the top... maybe there is good news...

no dice.

 

[danvader]

Dave didn't post here since the 7 aug
He doesn't reply his e-mail
Is he OK ?
I seriously worry about this.

 

[Darth Lars]

A short update today

 

[landofmilkandhoney]

Hey, can we get a post from someone who has received part of the kit? Didn't some of the Kenobi ANH's go out at some point? Didn't I see some being sold on ebay?

Or am I just in left field, and no one had received part of a kit?


Thanks

Those (or some) who have received the OWK and MPP are listen on the shipping update site.
Don't know if those people have received all the pieces for the MPP though.

 

[clancampbell]

Well, here we are....a year has gone by since we were supposed to receive the kits....anyone want to place hypothetical bets on when we will actually get these kits?
