Star Fortress Pro. Question...

I guess my question wasn't fully answered. aren't there licensing issues with people who recast official products and use them as their own? I dont know if it's not an issue because everything we do is somewhat of a copywrite issue but I cant believe he's copying stuff from don post and nothing has happened?

LFL will probably sue SFP next... considering what happened with Shepperton Design Studios in the U.K.
 
Wow do I wish I ever saw this before ordering a Clone Trooper helmet off of ebay from Star Fortress. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT BUY FROM THAT SITE!!!! I received my helmet today and it isn't the helmet I ordered, and the quality is just terrible!!! I definitely got burned on this sale. Do not trust the rating they have on ebay, it has to be false. Dont make the same mistake I made
 
you people are going to seriously make me go into a nervous ticks of convulsions. I will tell you like I tell everyone who is thinking of buying from SFP.....

RUN AWAY! Nothing good will come of it. you want mando armor, even to paint in custom style, buy from people here, you will NOT be disappointed, read my posts look at my photos of my unaltered SFP Boba armor, if you only listen to one thing I say in my life, let it be this,DO NOT BUY FROM SFP!
You will be out a very large amount of money, IF you get anything, it will be one or all of the following

A: Wrong color
B: Badly Made
C: Easily Breakable
D: Ill-fitting (they use phillepean men for models, so their Large is an american small to medium

They took 6 months to get my stuff to me, they offered to replace the broken parts IF i paid the shipping of the stuff to them, and the shiiping of th enew garbag to me, which would end up being almost double what it would cost to just order another one and play for 1 way shipping.

Oh yeah, here's one of his replies to my e-mails

Dear sithlord6507,

Oh, stuff it! You were the only guy that complained out of several hundred we sold. If it were possible that some scheme were reversed as you'd claimed, accidents happen, don't act as if you never made them. The FACT is that you were offered a corrected replacement and declined, I still have the email train in my files. The buyers post their own comments and that includes complete Boba's. I remember also that you griped that you got the standard issue version and wanted the deluxe edition, but the order showed you bought the cheap one. No one told you to "shove off" or the like before, but since you said it, here it it: Shove off dude!!!


FYI: I declined due to said shipping arrangements.
 
Wow....just wow.... but hey Whos Mandalorian_70? Your in my town??!!! Finally another one here..lol

ok whoa, i thought the name sounded familiar! I sold a sandtrooper mp-40 pouch to him a few months back on ebay. I recognized the ID. Wow if only I had known.

there is no sitting on the fence with SFP, yeesh. I know theres no stoppin anyone from buying from SFP, but there are just so many reasons not to.

Search this board, in fact any reputable prop board - SFP is often listed as a buyer beware.

Reasons not to buy form SFP:

Known fugitive from justice for alleged paedophiliic infringements.

the guy from SFP - is not in Singpaore (it has extredition polices with both US and UK), he is in Phillipines.Known recaster - heard SGB, EVO3 amongst those who have been hit

Other stuff is inaccurate - eg Biker lid

Poor quality material, ill fitting

Poor post sale service - often abusive and I heard of at least one case of threatening nature of correspondance

expensive - better quality, better price, better QA from a known armourer

Once told that u might as well give money away than buy from SFP - or better yet; donate it here

If u have bought stuff from him before knowing all this - fine. But with this knowledge AND u still go ahead.... well... all I can say is = bad form (personal opinion ofc)

I bought recast stuff once - before I got into TDH, FISD, clone empires and other such boards. Bite me once, shame on you, bite me twice, shame on me! I learnt my lesson - always source original maker.

my 2 cents

I thought this got trolled up but everyone has been posting on here for a few months....
looks like post #18 is where the year and a half gap appears.

We all know star fortress is terrible. Didn't know the whole Singapore/rape story though.

I guess the guy in charge is terrible in all aspects of his life
 
I don't think there is much worse that you can be... Recaster /rapist / pedophile

I suppose he could add murder, but personaly I would think pedophile is worst already...

This guy is the scum of the scum. Stay away. Giving him money, only lets him continue.
 
I almost got sucked in to that path. But I e-mailed some of the addresses I got from his feedback page. As it turns out, they hate his stuff too.
 
Can we please have a sticky with links to all the Star Fortress Threads? Cuz, seriously, this is like... the fifth or sixth time in about half as many months that this topic has come up. We could divert a lot of time and effort if we just had a running sticky at the top of the forum...?
