Originally saw this thread and WANTED to place an order but, since I see how many times our guys fall for these 'Prop runs' I thought "Let's see if THIS one gets off the ground" and, as I anticipated...Once again, honest guys are drawn into these runs only to be let down due to delays and my dog ate my homework excuses so as to give others time to get into the run and gather more money.
Personally, whenever I do a run of new props, I let others know what I'll be offering and keep a list of who wants in. I don't collect money up front because IT'S NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DOI!
I understand it cost money to produce all these wonderful toys we desire but, if the seller can't afford to fund the project - then don't offer it!
If it's such a great item (as this would have been) you'll get your initial investment back.
I can't believe how many times people fall for this time and time and time again and, willingly, throw their money away then have to fight for months while the seller (even if he bothers to response) gives one excuse or another.
C'mon, guys....stop falling for these 'send money and I'll get back to you' scams.
