These prop boards don't need to be so stressful!

not to mention there is always someone with a torch ready for a witchhunt....

agreed. I know I felt the heat...and how dare I mention alternatives to waiting 7 months for paid-for items that may fit or may be even correct.

It is not really about the issue of the tardy delivery, errors in handling (or fault of 3rd party distributors) any longer, but the odd acceptance of these circumstances by so many, and the protective behaviors towards those at fault...and ridicule to the ones (or one) who question this...situation.

Here are some possible remarks after I am tired of remarking about this..."Hey thanks for the update, the suit is only half a year late after I bought it - thanks for doing me that favor, and you saved me $9.00, I am not sore that I missed Halloween in 2004...but I can't wait to get it...do you need my address again? My size? Celebration 3 is 7 days away. I am glad I was strategic."

Yep...I feel stressed, and I did not even pay for one of these.

Thanks for the update and goodnight.

No kidding!!!

sorry to burst your bubble bigmouthfett but the order didnt go in til the very end of january. so in reality this is not a long time to wait for handmade items. 2 1/2 months to make all these is a nice quick time.

now where were you when i bought two expensive pieces of crap jet packs from someone on here that is suppose to be very good at making stuff. now talk about waiting and waiting and waiting and finally recieve crap in the mail.

All right...this is nuts guys! Our order is coming in...we'll get them before C3 as promised...it's water under the bridge. Can we all just drop it?

All of this negative banter and the back'anforth is really not necessary.

"Can't we all just get along?"

Agreed. Water under the bridge. Prymer13, you have a calming effect. Thanks.

Hmm...bigmouth, has nice ring to it.

Later,

And if it isn't dropped, then I WILL put an end to it.

Woohoo! Mirax!!! We love you!

You know I think some of these "boys" just want to get spanked by Mirax.

GEO! You are so correct! As for the spank from Mirax...I am expecting it...don't you know that is why all this happened!

I think Austin is going to spank me harder though.

For all those concerned (and for those who aren't) I agree with Bigmouthfett 100%.

He has a valid point ,perhaps not vented in the right forum, but still valid.

I was in on the first order, Got the wrong size. Anton said to resell It & re-order a new one.I did that. That was Nov 15.
I received a few emails (after SEVERAL attempts to contact Anton)stating that it was "in progress" & would be shipped soon.
I finally received an email stating that it was shipped on March 20th. It was accompanied with a tracking number that was invaild.
I emailed SFP to see if there was an error with the number. (this was Mar 30.)
Here is his response 3 days later
"Your item left MANILA, PHILIPPINES at 9:43 am on March 31, 2005. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.
I don't know why it took this long to get past manila, but a lot of packages got delayed lately. It should be there in a few days."

I recheck the number (as lately as today) & this is what it says
"The EMS item number was not found. Please check the item number once again. (11) "

Needless to say, my jumpsuit is still not here.today is April 8.



So when "Bigmouth" vents & tries to shake people into reality, let's not be so quick to condemn him. Perhaps if we opened our eyes, we would see that he does make sense.
And for you Predatormy, I too only wanted a SFP jumpsuit. I do appreciate you going the extra mile to try & help us all out. As i am doing a bulk run of ammo pouches right now, I realize what a pain it is to coordinate.

Also, Identifying a problem doesn't always necessitate a coming up with a solution. Just because YOU see a problem does not mean that YOU have to fix it, but letting all involved know about it may lead to SOMEONE coming up with a solution.

So if I upset the mods & get busted with Bigmouth, then at least I'll not be alone , nor amongst the lemmings.
After all, I still have the RPF if I really need to contact my fellow nerds.

Oh yeah, you can call me "slave1piehole" if it makes you feel better.

... the jumpsuits arrived to me today and I will be shipping them out over the next 2 days. Everyone will have them in time.

*off topic section*

So back to the good news, the jumpsuits came in today, I got them from the post man on my way out to work, I have not opened the box yet but I will tonight and get them packed up to ship out. I will start shipping tomorrow and finnish on Saturday.

Did you get them all shipped by Saturday?

No I went to the post office after they closed (did anyone know they close at noon on saturdays?) The last went out today. All went priority mail and should be there in 2 days. Canada guys should have them by the end of the week.

Yea, the post offices and the banks are on some other kind of universal timeframe.

Right on! I'll keep an eye out for the mailman!8)

Awesome - looking forward to it

I finally received my jumpsuit (re-issue from a botched first run)Monday April 11.
I was very excited, as I had just about lost hope in ever getting it.
My excitement soon faded as I pulled it out of the well-taped box (that included some very nice Filipino newspaper comics as packing material.)
There in my hands, was a very nice grayish-purple jumpsuit.
Was the ROTJ suit quasi-purple? (I'm not sure.I'll have to watch it again.)
No big deal (I guess I should be happy that I have anything at all) I can just re-dye this second try jumpsuit.
Let me try this bad-boy on .
a little snug going on (maybe I've gained weight), as I pull it up over my shoulders, I am treated to what I can only describe as an "atomic Wedgie".
This thing is creeping up my nether regions something fierce (maybe I've also gotten taller) I try to get comfortable in my newfound canvas thong.No good.
Still a "tad" uncomfortable (hat's off to the ladies , who do this on a daily basis).
Maybe if I put my arms down it will help illeviate this pressure. Hmmmm...the sleeves hang to my knuckles( did my arms shrink as I've gotten fatter & taller?). The "short-sleeve" edge is below the bend in my elbow(that doesn't look right either)Hmmm....
Let me zip it up. It zips a little snugly (back to the weight gain, I guess)
How about the collar? No dice, can't even get the velcro near each other, let alone stick together. ( I guess my neck swole up too).
So, not only have I gotten taller & fatter, had my arms shrink, but now my neck has swollen up like a bullfrog.
Let me re-check my measurements that I sent to Anton 3 times. (see below)

What to do?
Spend even more money & Try & have this thing altered?
Send it back (again spend more money) & wait til Christmas for a new one?
Find some long-armed pencil neck to buy it?
OR...
Do what BigaboyFett suggested many months ago & just make my own.
That's a pretty tuff decision.:rolleyes
Guess I'd better brush up on my sewing skills.

Good luck 2nd run guys, & Godspeed.

sorry to hear about your jumpsuit man, that does indeed suck.

I did recieve my jumpsuit today from this second run list. And......it fit me perfectly! The size and the color are spot on. I even asked for a different size neck(16" neck) than what it came with, and I got what I asked for, a 16" neck. Great stitching quality, and material, looks like it could stand some abuse of trooping for a long time in it.

Many thanks go out to Predatormv for taking time out of his busy schedule to set this up for us. And for taking all of the flak he has been getting from all sides- from ansty cutstomers with lots of questions(like myself) and also the critics. Stand up guy in my book. Thanks again Predatormv. I'll post pics either tonight when I get off of work or tomorrow.:cheers

Thank you for the kind words Sithlord, glad you are pleased and everything worked out as you requested.
