    Before disputes like this are brought to a public forum, you should make contact with Castaway first. Their e-mail is clearly published on both their homepage as well as their storefront. David Lee is a member here and is the go-to contact guy. It's a rarity that they would not fulfill an order and if it does happen it's usually just a clerical error which can be fixed pretty easily.

    Can't say anything beyond that if you have made contact and received no reply. That would be highly unusual. They are a top-notch bunch and will make everything right with you.

    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

Mego so I don't know what to say. Maybe I'm jinxed? If there was an online contact form I used that, if not I used my own email.

                Hey Rich if I didn't get back with you it's because I was super busy.... I wish I could e-mail everyone and shoot the breeze about what we are making next and what the future brings, but I can't. We have a hard enough time keeping up with the orders we do have... let me tell you we have a bunch! We have been crazy successful because of the wonderful support of Mego heads here and abroad.

                We are probably the most accessible little toy company as well... I mean between the guy who wanted me to make replicas of the past Miss America's (who proceeded to mail me a list complete with their measurements) and the guy who called me late one night and proceeded to explain that he knew who killed JFK... but I'm OK because "I am part of the band"... Jason and I get bombarded everyday, I don't mean a few... it's overwhelming most days... Somewhere between "thanks" and "no we can't make Spider-man" or " I don't think others might like 8 inch replicas of famous concert pianist (real example)" the wick gets a bit short or we miss one or two... I apologize for this, and do appreciate your effort to contact us.

                -Dave

                      Like Jason told you yesterday(Sunday), we are checking on it.... that goes for anyone missing something. I did take a few days off for Christmas, but I should be caught up in the morning.

                        You did what?? How dare you take time off for Christmas? Come ON!! I need a pair of fist hands. Your family can wait.

                        Seriously though, hope it works out for those concerned, and I know I hate waiting too, but You guys have always come thru for me. Thanks.
