Oooohh... I think I see what you're talking about. He does the Pit Crews as replicas, but also does the white/tan Galactic Marine/Light Infantry style, and the all-leather "Mandalorian" style. I had forgotten about that last.
The whole mess was that he drastically underestimated demand/interest. That, combined with a bunch of bad stuff at his end (health problems that got sorted, ongoing PayPal issues vis-a-vis his country's relationship with PP -- he can't link his PP to a bank account, and is limited to how much PP will let him withdraw as a prepaid card every month)... he just got overwhelmed and a lot of people started hating on him. I know he's a good guy and would never leave anone hanging, even if it took him a while. I even got my Royal Guard and Republic Commando boots from him during the time I was waiting for my Pit Crews. Since he already had them in my size on hand, there was no waiting and I got them a week later. He even did the right thing and stopped taking new orders for a while so he could catch up somewhat.
As for the rocketpack... What are you running into? Which version of the pack do you want, and what are your constraints? There are templates and pepakura patterns out ther eif you're up for scratch-building your own. And I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple vendors around here who sell them...
