New V2 Jango fett boots sign up thread.

Lads, its not the time of year to expect updates on this project.
There are many Star Wars quotes on the subject of patience....pick one.

Happy New Year!
 
I think that when you start a project this big and have taken money there should be guide lines setup. Here are some thoughts
1) weekly updates.
2) access upon request to the actual maker to work out problems.
3) Money in escrow, written agreement on big jobs.

I say these this not to complain about this thread just to help people. what if somehting happens to the person working the deal, If they turn up missing you are stuck. If the actual maker doesn't follow thru anybody should be able to contact to clear up problems.

Maybe there should be a discussin thread about some kind of guide line.
 
I was always under the impression that folks can not collect funds until the product is actually in hand, and available. Of course, it takes funds to get these very specific projects off the ground, especially one of this nature. I originally signed up for this run (under my old screen name) and I have not sent funds in, until I at a minimum see images of the completed prototype of the Galactic Marine variant. I will say I had the pleasure of owning a pair of the first run Reinone Jango's I bought off Cruzer (since sold to another member here) The wait will be totally worth it, and hopefully a January update will get us up to speed! :)
 
I remember the run of Jango boots he did last time. It took quite a bit of time but they eventually got done. It doesn't help that practically half the people that said "I want a pair" have not paid. Same thing happened last time. It might take awhile but I am sure he will come through.
 
I'm very sorry to say it, but if I don't see a post from reinone before valentine's day, I'm going to have to go to paypal and file a claim. That will be about 6 months since I paid, and over 2.5 months since a post from him. Doesn't even need to say that they're done, or when they'll be here, just reassurance that the bootmaker hasn't screwed us all.

Sorry man.

I wouldn't let this be any kind of excuse! And as a matter of fact, I had asked to be put on the interested list for a "SIZE 10" long before any prototype pictures were shown, he puts me down for a "SIZE 13"? OoooK! I contact him a few times asking to have the size he has me down for to be changed to a "SIZE 10", well he puts me down for another pair, "SIZE 10"! Now after seeing the prototypes, I was like yes, nice boots, but not enough of a difference from the V1 Jango boots I currently have of his. So with that said, I sent him a p.m. very shortly after the prototype pictures were posted stating that I wouldn't be interested anymore since I didn't see the need to spend additional dollars on new boots that weren't all that different from the V1 versions. He still has me as one of the members who haven't contacted him, when I contacted him many months ago, I have the pm's to prove it! So with that said, with the way the thread and the project is being handled, members who have paid should definitely have reasons for concern!

What's the time limit on a claim? I have low top Kennth coles, but I want these boots. That's my last resort, and I'm not to that point yet. Porgress updates would help, good or bad.
 
if i remember right, paypal is 90 days with a 20 day resolution.

it would have to be done in small claims court.

why wait till valentines day? if reinone doesnt post a response by the end of the week, and thats being generous, i will file with the state of california. this is ridiculous. so either show us product or give me my money back. plain and simple.

i dont care what he has done before or that he is a great guy. over a month with no response with $5k in payments, post christmas, wont even man up and post a reply, deems action.

dont get me wrong, i would like to have the boots but his actions make me wonder. i am not going to be out $600.

i totally agree with everyone here. these were supposed to be two week behind schedule back in november. it's january now so there has been an additional month added to the delivery date so fr with no explanation.

the fact that he is avoiding this forum and has been seen posting on others does concern me and to be honest i am not holding on to too much hope tht these will see delivery.

as far as the time of year...don't care...doesnt take much to pop in and tell us whats up, so thats not an excuse imo.

i would like the boots but i wasn't expecting to wait this long after sending payment and now having second thoughts. i hope his family had a good christmas and it wasn't thanks to us.

i am not one to say much, and i give plenty of time, knowing the difficulty and work involved. i mad my experience in making the girth belt as well as zam parts, but i always gave good updates and contact so i only expect the same. if i don't hear something convincing by the end of th week...i'll be looking for money back as well, no matter what i need to do to collect it!
 
Paypal dispute limit is 45 days.

I have, however, sent him a payment request via paypal, asking for a refund. I let him know if I don't get a refund, or the boots, within 2 weeks, I'll be taking him to small claims court.

I've officially gone into "I think I've been robbed" mode.
 
I think I might end up joining you in doing that. ill give him the week. let us know what he says to you

In the past when these disruptions occur there's usually someone who knows the vendor (in this case Reinone) personally and can drop by his/her house. Has anyone done this, or does he live in the middle of Alaska somewhere?
 
It's ok if he lives in Alaska...that's where I live. I'll hop on my dog sled and grab my whaling spear and go threaten to steal all of his muk-tuk.
 
I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt, he probably has no idea the storm that has been brewing here, its only been 2 weeks since his last post.
I am confident I will eventually receive either the boots or my Payment back from Reinone.
Yes he should post an up-date, but lets wait to see what he has to say & if peoples attitudes are justified.

Stay positive people.
 
only two weeks?

i see 11/25 as his last post...thats a bit more than two weeks capt! i think closer to 6 if my math is right?
