Evolution props: the great experiment

i do understand your anger...i have been there...and a wise man told me when i was ranting about being wronged that if i overstep boundaries as well, i would be given the boot as well...its not worth you getting busted...we know you are angry, and agree with you...just watch what you say, and rant all you like...we support people stepping up and expressing their disgust with certain vendors, but we also expect you to keep it respectful for others as well...(y)
 
As i warned, plastic products were withdrawn from sale ... your order was ready to send, but due to problems with paypal account and following the negative comments (some made completely free and others totally concerned by some members) i decided that the best is send a refund of your purchase, so we avoid future due to poor probelmas that gender predisposition towards such products

Were is my refund Gabe ????? O ya I shut down your PP down and even the NEW one under another name on it and I will with everyone you open up . My mission right now is to STOP YOU GABE and I will .
 
I decided to do a quick video mainly out of boredom. It was shot and edited in HD on the new iPhone but the compression going into YouTube is terrible. I've heard they'll fix the problem with the next update. If they do I'll repost it.
The music has no relevance, I've just liked the song since Job's first magic show on Arrested Development.
There's also some other videos from when I was in school and a few jobs I've worked around Texas. I can't post them all (some political videos for a campaign I helped out with is the big one).
Also I didn't narrate the video cause every time I hear myself it feels like a have a slight lisp and my P's and S's are really annoying, so I'll just let the video speak for itself.

I mean no disrespect to any of you in the fett world . The fett world is new to me and right off the bat I get riped off . I did ask him over 40 ?'s about his stuff and I got the right answers from him . I did not find this trends about him until after I did my order with him and I did ask 2 x's on here about him w/o a response . It was a BIG price to pay for me to learn my lesson with this . I'm sorry to you all about me going off about this OK but $2100 is allot of money for me to lose with me being disabled and on SSD . I did save my funds for this and now its all gone . I know I have spoken sometimes out of anger but I do hope you all understand were im coming from with this . I do want to get the parts I need to be a Boba fett but I hope I have not burned any bridges with any of you . I would like all of your help to do this . I don't have much time in this world so yes this is on my bucket list as me being a TK that I am now .I'm 40 soon and I may have @ max 10 more years if that in this life for me so I hope the this gives some of you the reason why im sooooo pissed right now . Like I said I don't mean any disrespect to any of you .
 
cheers man...we do understand your anger, alot of us have been there...i hope the best for you, and this situation...:cheers
 
Snoopy trooper you have taken all the right legal action and yes you got ripped off and yes you have every right to be mad and i hope he rights his wrong with you just be carefull with what you say and if some of your problems are just with the paint id hit fett 4 real up he can help you out ive seen his work in person
 
I got the same evo knees, only mine I had to hot glue the snaps back on the knees, and upon putting them on, they broke into pieces by the darts, I was able to troop by hot gluing for s few weeks, but I'm now back to using my ****** SFP knees. The photos look just as thin as the set I had, so if that's the "new" set it'll be broke and useless within a month. And Gabe, publicly denouncing claims that your product is horrible doesn't work when pictures are posted to prove it and there are entire threads form people who's money you've kept. You keep whining about how PP is worst for seller because you're out money, it seems with you it's the other way around that everyone who's purchased your trash is out money and in some cases product as well. Keep denying it all you want , this many people can't be lying about the quality of your product and services rendered. As stated it does seems this guy is protected somehow when by all rights he should be booted as a exceptionally horrible vendor on level with SFP.
 
Snoopy - count me into your fight. I exhausted all angles on this guy. Ebay and Paypal said they could not help me since it was outside their complaint window (if I am not mistaken you have 60 days after you purchase to complain....but how can you do that when he intentionally delays it. I literally got it a couple days outside the window). Bank of America said they couldn't help me and neither could Visa cause it was not a direct Visa or bank purchase.

I was screwed out of my $350 on a technicality. Had Gabe been an honest vendor, when I opened the box and was dissatisfied, he would have refunded me. But since he is a crook, I am still stuck with a pile of trash and $350 less in the bank.
 
I"m new to this forum and I'm glad I saw this thread. I was gonna buy some vader items from him on ebay. Thanks a ton!!
 
Gabe,

You ripped me off too. You are dishonest and don't belong on TDH. TDH should not allow Gabe to sell anything until he resolves the issues with all the TDH members he ripped off. If they don't want to kick him off TDH, fine, but at least suspend his privilege of selling his trash on TDH.
 
Only a small replica ..... And I hope you read it honestly and I understand ... since I am completely honest in what I write ... One can really believe that I am a scammer? Evolution is my third project, I had two more in the past with other partners ... in which I never had a problem ... these two vendors are currently selling on ebay after my departure, Evo began operating in 2007 ... surely did so much good and many bad, but if someone looks at my current rating is 1700 with only 4 negative comments (which I can easily explain) .... according to some members who are writing in this post is a complete con ... someone thinks that if I am so, would continue writing? would continue to face? continue to respond emails? and had lasted more than 3 years on Ebay? ... I explained the problems with plastic and I'm looking for a quick fix ... I already decided to make an enterprise more boy Evo but with better care and quality of products (which had to be improved) ....the user as Charlie Brown, I can tell you that the only thing he did was blackmail all the time ... I am really sad about these attacks and do my best to answer them not because it is not the spirit of the forum, I always I have to lose ... because a John Doe anyone have time to publicly blackmail under the gaze of all and no one does anything about it ... as I am a respectful person trying to get off at their level to answer what he would have to answer and end this discussion .-

Hi Victor .... nice to see you again ... and just here , maybe you don't have enought memory ... but you receive all the items , you open a claim against me on Aug 2009 ... you put me a negative , and you receive a refund for $ 1405 !!! .... ohh sure .. you put on the trash all the plastic parts , aluminium parts, boots and soft parts ... come on !!!
 
Their you go Gabe more stories but no action with a thing . You are a thief and a con . You don't what to fix the probs with me and others . Wanting a refund and sending you the parts I do have back to you is not blackmail . Be a man Gabe have some pelotas here OK , Fix things with all of us and you will not have a prob its that easy Gabe. Your making your self look like a fool on here and we are not buying all of your stores . Untill the day I die I will make it my mission to stop you .
 
Strangely enough, I do not believe Gabe is a dishonest person. My experience with him as a human being was positive. Although as highlighted in my thread "good, the bad, ...", after several attempts at the flightsuit, we both gave up and I ended up spending $300 on a flightsuit that I could not wear. But then again, he did make several attempts. This doesn't seem to the behavior of a thief. Still, it is far from a quality vendor or the same high standards held by other vendors on this forum. Yeah, the armor was not good, but maybe that's improving. Metal parts were good. I don't think the E-Bay feedback is a very solid argument, because as all of us who use E-Bay know, people are reluctant to leave bad feedback for fear of receiving retaliatory feedback. Gabe doesn't leave feedback on the buyer until the buyer leaves feedback on him first. Also, once you get outside of a 45 day window, you can no longer leave feedback. I placed well over a dozen orders on E-Bay for small metal parts and left positive feedback. The items that I had problems with like the $300 flightsuit arrived after the 45 day window, others took longer than 45 days to resolve, so I could no longer leave feedback. I would summarize by saying that Evolution's quality problems are well documented. Personally, I would buy from other vendors with better quality unless it was metal parts or value shoes, but he tired to make things right for me. Of course, if I spent $2k on a full costume and received broken parts or didn't receive anything at all, I would be just as p1ssed off as snoop.....maybe more so.
 
Ive been watching this thread with some interest as Ive bought a few things from Gabe's ebay site. I bought a set of knee armour about ayear ago and wasnt impressed with the paint work, but, I like to do my own thing anyway so I repainted it myself. The knee armour snapped the first time I tried it on so I reinforced it with fibreglass and sold it on again. Lesson learned. I had a look at his soft parts and thought "no I can get better stuff elsewhere" and didnt go any further. I have since bought Boba Fett boots and several metal parts from him and have been reasonably happy with the boots and feel the metal parts are ok for what I need them for. I can indeed see why some have had bad experiences with Gabes service but I cant really complain too much here. Maybe if he put a tag on the item description to say that "This item is not designed for trooping" then we may be a bit better informed as to the item quality he sells. Not trying to diss anyone, just felt the need to share.....
 
As I say, Im not taking sides just wanted to share and to be honest, apart from the quality of the armour, cant be too harsh on the chap
