    THIS IS NOT A SALES THREAD



    The ORIGINAL sales thread is located here :


    THIS thread has been established for the sole purpose of fulfilling and finalizing
    business with regard to the original GMH run. This is for members who participated
    between Oct. 2010 through July of 2011.

    All other business related to the GMH helmet after these dates, are not part of THIS
    thread and are either already fulfilled, being fulfilled or will soon be fulfilled outside
    of this thread by way of normal means of communications through either private
    messaging or email.

    Once the members listed here are fulfilled, this thread will have served it's purpose
    and will be archived.

    The following helmets are those remaining AFTER the "Original Run" (Through July 2011)
    From this point forward, the plaque numbering system stops.

    53. Skyminer - USPS Customs Label #LC659268986US
    54. Gotmaul - (Paid 8/2011 - ship 9/7/2012)


    As stated in the first paragraph, remaining helmets into 2012 are already
    filled or will be filled (about 7)outside of this thread as they were taken
    in regular business. There were only so few because sales dwindled after
    so much time passed in non-fulfillment's. And, I stopped taking orders for
    the most part in March. So if your pay date is after August of 2011, please
    be patient, they're almost done and I will message you directly when shipped.
    A good number of those have already been shipped and received and you
    know who you are. No one else has been been forgotten.

    Those "few" that had armor on order at the same time as their GMH will be
    fulfilled separately and in timely fashion. I'm doubling up shipping
    this way (at my expense) , but it fills the long waited GMH void and is very
    necessary to tame the growls of dissatisfaction. Thank you for understanding.

    No. 30 helmets remaining from the original run. You, are in the next 5 after that.

    This time, I will post a list with every member's name that each helmet in the pic
    is spoken for, so there is no further guessing as to who's is still left outstanding
    from the original run. As they are shipped this coming week, there will be delivery
    confirmation numbers added respectively.


    Thanks,

    Chris

    I would like to be added to whatever list, where ever it may be to get one of these. I've been waiting and watching for the entire time. I'm hoping to get one still. Thanks Chris

Get this beast put behind you and move on! You have my apology as well for causing you any unwarranted grief. Can we shake hands and move on?

    John, Amen. That's all I've been trying to say. Let's keep it clean, and get this off the bench.
    I'm not going to argue the addition to your post. You made some valid points. And I too apologize
    for my sensitivity.

    I will edit my posts. I would ask the same of you. As well as Bactawork. I just want to be able to finish
    this without further negativity. With a clean thread, there's nothing but positive to focus on.

    PM sent to Bactawork

    All the comments aside, the list mentioned above would be helpful for me. I'm sure others, patient or not, understand the relivence of such a tool. With less focus on the one-on-ones posts, and more focus on overall group information, I believe things can stay positive.

    I think when Chris gets agitation here, it takes the focus off the Big Picture, and reduces things to a smaller less productive focus. Do I agree with the way everything has unfolded to date? No, and there are unforseen circumstances that no one had allowed time for. A return to a copascetic working environment is best to get things moving forward for everyone.

    Just a thought: If a downloadable PDF, of the prior thread, can be made available in a link. This will allow those that want a copy to have one. Thus, no one has to make this an issue. I believe this will be helpful to all.

    Empower those to solve their own issues, and adult actions and conversations will hopefully prevail.

    I can certainly understand the desire to have a fresh thread for the next run once the first run is wrapped up. 35+ pages is a lot to follow!

    The original thread has been restored to the cargo hold, but remains locked so that those parties involved can reference it as needed. As a rule we don't remove threads from the cargo hold when a run is still ongoing, so that needs to stay at least for now.

    Chris, could you PM me the tracking number when you get it, and confirm the address where you sent the helmet? Just want to make sure it's not going to my previous house. Thanks

    I did the exact same thing, I'm expecting mine to be in batch 2 or 3, but what ever batch I'm in, it'll be worth the wait.

    Wow, thought I was in the first wave. I guess I'll be in wave 2?

    Are there lists for the next waves so we can at least know what to expect? Not trying to make an issue, just hoping to understand expectation of time for those that have already paid. would be helpful... Thanks

    Re: GMH - "THE" definitive Boba Fett Helmet - UPDATE March 3rd 2012

    Still here guys. It's only been a few days since my update picture post. Please relax. I stated
    that I would be getting these shipped as swift as possible over the course of a week or so. At
    the time of positing, I was still awaiting my additional materials and boxes shipments.
    Shipping is commencing. And this is moving and not stagnating.

    To those members that are inquiring about their slots since my picture post, there are a couple
    that were re-arranged accidentally and mixed with regular orders (by my own mistake) and will
    be rectified. However, there are a couple that are not a part of the final stages of the original
    run. There will be another short list added to those members listed as "currently in production"
    to make sure we have this final part of the original run finished. But I need to reiterate, that there
    is no wave 2 or wave 3 TBA publicly, because there aren't that many left beyond what is posted.
    The regular order members will be taken care of swiftly, but not as a part of this thread. I've posted
    A LOT of members here, we need to get through this final stage so we can move forward with current
    orders and all things pretty and shiny new.

    Thanks again guys,

    Chris

    I keep meaning to get one of those natural gas powered generators. They are expensive, but it seems like the power goes out when the wind blows (which is every day in Oklahoma) so it would be worth it in the long run. It stinks being without power.

    Wow... having never lived outside of a major metro area, I can't imagine what that's like.

    If we lose power for 10 minutes the city is ready to string up the power company. My complaints are usually more about how none of the 3 cable providers in my town offer Cartoon Network in HD and how the local Reynolds Advanced Materials store isn't open on weekends!

    You country folk just confound me

    That's awesome Joe

    And this is where they all start to roll in. More numbers to post, not many more to ship. With
    the Mojo ear cap run, this is al coming to fruition at last.

    Best,

    Chris

    Did you forget about those who paid 2012 for a GMH?
    I'm sure that you did not, I just felt left out because I was not on the list.

    Craig
    You're not on this list, because your order was taken as part of normal business
    and will be be fulfilled outside of this thread. Your order is also a multiple item
    order. I've not forgotten you by any means.

    The helmets listed above are the remainder of those members of the original run.
    When I started this new thread to cut down on the mess of having to read through
    1000+ posts for folks, I copied the original first post from the original sales thread
    to make a connection to the original sales thread. Unfortunately, my not editing
    the first post after copying it over to distinguish it from a sales thread is giving the
    impression that it's an open sales thread for everyone to check on their orders even
    through present. There needs to be a distinction here folks. At some point, this thread
    has to end. And it will end with those remaining members listed above. Beyond that,
    any normal business should be conducted with me, through normal means (messaging/emails).

    I've edited the first post to reflect this so that there is no more confusion. My apologies
    for not considering this sooner.

    Chris

    Thanks for the clarification. I thought that you would know what you meant better than anyone else on the forum.
    pm will be on its way in a few weeks to see if you have an eta yet for my order.

    No problem at all, Craig

    Just FYI, I did a little cleaning up and moved everything up to the first post.
    From this point forward to make it easy for you folks, the remaining updates
    will be in Post #1 as they're ready


    I am SO elated to see this concluding for you guys and gals. I can't wait to get
    get a set of Gavin's ears on one of these things !

    Chris-
    Unfortunately, Gav needs a minimum order for the ears. So far, only ten people have sent payment. Not sure if people are just not aware of it our what, but he has said off he doesn't get a minimum order, he may not be able to do the run....
    Keeping my fingers crossed!

    Re: GMH - "THE" definitive Boba Fett Helmet - UPDATE March 25 2012

    Well, I think it may be too soon to count it out. I can't help but feeling
    partially responsible considering the delay in getting the rest of
    these helmets out. Though it did take quite a while to get the ear project
    off the ground ! It's entirely possible that folks might be a little reluctant
    at first because they're still waiting to see if they'll ever get a helmet to go
    with them lol

    Hopefully, folks seeing that we're nearly done (1st Post!) and seeing that
    helmets are now arriving practically everyday, it will allay concerns
    and ease hesitations. I really believe that there won't be a cooler, more
    accurate combination than the GMH and MJF Ear sets. One's obviously
    made for the other too !

    Chris

    I totally agree Chris. The GMH and MJF combo is going to be epic. I just hope more people jump on board with the ears. The helmet truly deserves them!

    On another note, thanks for holding my helmet until I get moved into my new place. Cheers!

    Actually I'm doing my best to make sure GMH's go "with" other items if members have ordered. Especially International members to save time and money

    Pedro,

    Your order does not include a GMH my friend. Please read the first post more thoroughly.
    Your armor order has shipped. I will message you the tracking info as soon as I get the
    new slips sorted this evening.

    Re: GMH - THE definitive Boba Fett Helmet - UPDATE March 25 2012

    Brian,

    What happened here was, I had dropped your parcel with the shipper
    and apparently called in the next day to put a hold on it because I'd
    caught your note about sending it to your work and I'd already
    addressed it to your home. The shipper had already purchased
    the postage the day of drop off, which is why it shows that way on-line.
    This was a matter of my forgetting to re-address it with the shipper
    and re-issue postage. My apologies. Luckily, they've held onto it
    all this time til I took care of it lol

    Will be taken care of today, or tomorrow morning. I'll include the
    first postage sticker if they can't swap the fee's so you can see.
    It's double postage, but my bad

    I was wondering why I'd not heard boo from you about receiving it

    Chris

    You have to love that feeling of pulling the helmet at the box and looking at it for the first time.

    So I have to ask, why is it that some of us are receiving fiberglass helmets and some of us are receiving rotocast resin helmets?

    As far as Iknow they are all fibreglass, I don't think Chris does the rotocast thing. He is just very good at glass work.

    The helmet I received is rotocast resin.

    Re: GMH - THE definitive Boba Fett Helmet - UPDATE March 31st 2012

    Yes, there certainly is a mix. And, there are a couple of reasons actually.

    First and foremost, this was one hell of a task. The fact is, there was no way for me, or anyone else working alone for that matter to be able to complete a task this size without some technological assistance. Helping hands in the form of equipment, if you will.

    Secondly, I seem to have developed a sensitivity to fiberglass. Since the majority of you folks are newer here, it may not be common knowledge that I've been at it this for nearly 14 years. It's been slowly catching up with me. Whereas it's not normally a huge thing in smaller doses, fiberglass in this quantity for one man is pretty toxic, to say the least. I've been transitioning away from glass for nearly 3 years. And, I hope to transition completely away from it someday.

    If there is a concern with fiberglass vs. rotocast vs. quality … make no mistake, none of my pieces are are cheap hand slush "layered" resin. My roto items are one shot vented "machine rotocast", for starters. No cheap general purpose resins used (like Smooth-Cast for instance). In fact, composites have come so far in the last few years, I found my huckleberry. Much like the "Hyperfirm" gentleman, it's a bit of a trade secret. But the formulation is very different, and more expensive might I add. The reliability of pieces made with it, can be compared to any of my fiberglass pieces. My confidence is so much so that I include a one year written warranty on all of my machine rotocast items to help instill confidence in the newer products. No urethane foam resin helmets, like the Sgt. Fang.

    And from the pics I've seen of them, it looks to be a really smooth rotocast and high quality too.

    Thanks

    To date, nothing but happy campers Funny enough, That's been the primary complaint over the years too. More so over the recent couple of years with newer folks that have never been around glass. Chaffing cheeks on rough fiberglass textured interiors, It seems that no matter how smooth I get the glass interiors these days, it's still not enough lol

    Re: GMH - THE definitive Boba Fett Helmet - UPDATE March 31st 2012

    Thank you for the response, Chris. That's pretty much what I figured.

    I also understand and sympathize with the sensitivity issue. I've developed a similar sensitivity to solvents myself over the years.

    I guess if I have any beef with the situation it boils down to what has been the consistent issue over the past 18 months: communication. I bought what I thought was one thing and when I opened the package what I received was something else. And after 18 months of waiting it felt like a slap in the face.

    Rotocast helmets are not "better" just a different way of approaching the solution (I have other helmets that are are of high quality rotocast resin the difference is I knew what I was buying into when I started). To just assume that everyone is going to be OK with your changing the conditions of the sale without notice just confounds me. Your reasons for choosing the rotocast solution strike me as completely reasonable and valid and if I had been presented with the situation before hand I probably wouldn't have minded so much. But to do so without letting anyone know, to me, is insulting.

    If others are happy with their purchase that's fine, they have every right to be, and the smooth cheeks will no doubt benefit those that will be wearing their helmets.

    Just a heads up to other buyers who have not received their order and are expecting a Fiberglass helmet: you will most likely be receiving a very finely crafted helmet of rotocast resin. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
