At least he has a sense of humor about it...

According to the Forum Rules, I don't think that I'm in violation by posting this eBay link:

Poorly Made Boba Fett Armor Prop A Complete Set of Expensive Junk | eBay

I got a chuckle.

Poor guy. Funny though! Many points for style!!!

That's a great way to get a rant across

Man that armor is terrible. I feel bad for him, but like I try to tell every new member, stay away from eBay unless the seller is MOW.

I know some people will disagree about public criticism but I find this helpful. This saves someone from making the same mistake he did. I laughed. Way to spread the word and saves someone's hard earned money.

Hey guys. Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm not a noob, though I should have known better. I have bought stuff from Cucblack, (swprops) a few times over the years and haven't had any problems. He's known on this board and has a decent rep. What pissed me off so bad was that his package got damaged when it was shipped... I understand that. But when I emailed him he basically told me it wasn't his problem. Then... he just flat out ignored me. It's true that I have no recourse because by the time I received the product the time had expired for me to file a claim, but the least he could have done was work with me... not ignore me. I struggled with that, but decided the best way to handle it was to post my listing so others who might purchase the product would see my story. He may have an overall good rep - even on TDH, but ignoring problems doesn't make them go away; especially if I'm the problem!

And I plan to leave this posting up indefinitely. It's worth the $1.50 a month to me. I'm sure ebay will pull it down when they catch wind of it, but who knows. Anyhow, thanks guys!

Well, it was an entertaining read, and, like the title states, it's nice that you can laugh it off.

But if I recall the timeline correctly, you sold your RKD armor to purchase this set?

Sort of. The RKD is nice, no doubt. It just seems a little big to me. I'm 6'0" and 200 lbs and to me it just looked big. Anyhow, I thought I'd try the fiberglass stuff from Cucblack and... what can I say. I didn't want to wait all that time for Boba Maker or FP, that's what happens when you let impatience get the better of you.

And there are some good reviews on Cucblack's armor on here. I don't see how since even undamaged the stuff isn't really that accurate.

ignorance....i blame ignorance

Well aren't you superior

I think you misinterpret my directness...I was responding to your previous statement about the good reviews of the armor here. People can unknowingly get this stuff and use it get "approval" from the 501st and think theyre walking around in what is an accurate Boba Fett suit. And write good comments about it. So I blame their ignorance.

I can appreciate people being direct; and I agree with what you said. You should be clear up front tho- I hate misunderstandings.

Rubio95: I appreciate it. I have an almost complete set of BM armor, I just need to contact him about getting a new back plate. I should be good, thanks for the offer tho.

I was pretty clear in my mind, only when you said something did I think otherwise.

I think trashing culcbacks Rep is wrong you didn't buy the armor without seeing it first so you knew in advance what you were getting as for the shipping carrier damaging the stuff yes he should have found a way to satisfy you on that issue.

That's really surprising to hear. I have people all the time who are your size that have purchased my armor and have told me it fits them perfectly. I myself wear my own armor and I'm 5'10" at 160lbs and I can make it work for me.



Either way, I'm sorry to hear about this and I wish you the best in getting it all figured out

RKD, nice looking armor.

Aw I'm sorry bro, I didn't take offense at all and I value your feedback as a peer and customer! I think you did a great job on the paint on it, sorry it didn't work out for you.
I know that my armor isn't for everybody and I try to be up front and honest with them about the sizing before they buy

Thanks Jc!

Anyway, sorry for the derail, back on track now!!

What about this seller who clearly hates America! And look at the dimensions.

If you paid by credit card, see if you dispute the charge.

That's an odd one

America is a hole? I've only been a couple of times but I thought the parts I went to were okay and not worthy of such an unkind description.

As for the original post about the other eBay sale; I thought it was quite funny and a novel way to get back at someone who he feels has wronged him. Don't mess with that guy!

I think the guy's english is lacking. I'll bet ge meant to say "no shipping to the whole U.S.A.". At least I hope so anyhow...

I am sure that is what he meant. I still find is amusing.

Since I'm looking for armor parts, I had seen these guys on eBay.

I know this can be a sensitive question, but any feedback on the supplier rjscustomfiberglass who I am considering getting piecemeal armor from? I'm still looking for active runs.

Thanks.

I can't find that seller, but if you're looking for great armor, than Will (redkraytdragon) is your man. He also do gauntlets and knee pads, but other greeblies too. More here ==> IOA ROTJ Fett Armor kits Version 2 - Now available.

I asked the seller if he had references from the Dented Helmet and he said he didn't think so.... Here is a link...

I've always been partial to fiberglass but it sounds like red krayt is the way to go....

I definitely recommend RKD, who has far superior armor than the one from that auction. You won't regret it.

Thanks for the props Rafal! Appreciate that my man!

i'm getting rkd parts to finish my budget fett once i get funds

I'm sorry that it's over so. I always try to solve the problem the best way for shipping damage or if you are not happy with the products. But when a person is aggressive, rude and make threats. There is nothing else to do.

*** he speaks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, I can't believe it! I've been trying to get a hold of you for months and months! Well hey, that's great. I don't really want to get into a whole thing with you here, but seriously... are you going to send my replacement piece of armor like you promised? I mean really, do I need to post all of your emails where you said you would send it to me?

And what threats? I live in California... you live in Bolivia? How could I threaten you? I just want what I paid for. If it got damaged during shipping, well then you should pack it better. I paid for something that I didn't receive. You can either man-up and send me what you owe me or I'll continue to spread the word on how dishonorable you are. What really gets me upset is that I actually told a lot of people on this forum that I recommend you. See this thread if you need proof of that. I was a customer of yours for a few years, I bought a jumpsuit, a flak vest, a full set of armor among other odds & ends... and for a single piece of damaged armor, you sacrificed that and showed yourself to have no integrity at all. Do the right thing and send me what you owe me. Not being threatening or rude... just angry; and I have a right to be.

Apparently we have different point of views of the situation and how the events occurred. I sent the replacement of the damaged part and I notified you.
I think this is not the place to discuss the problem.
I'll send a PM.

Uh, ok... Still waiting for that PM.

But I suspect your PM's are like the "replacement" you sent me. You and I both know you never sent me anything. Had you, none of this would be happening. It's frustrating that I once supported you and now you are blatantly lying about the situation.

PM sent again...

I think this is just the place to discuss sellers such as yourself, Cucblack! I have to thank TD-4608 for the caveat, as I was thinking of buying from you-obviously not any longer.
