Has anyone received an order lately? I keep looking to my mailbox for the 2007 order he said was shipping a couple months ago...
One day my parts will come...

WOW! And to think I almost order some stuff from him right before his store site vanished. Very glad I didn't cuz I don't take being mistreated or disrespected well AT ALL! And I won't even go into how I take being ripped off!
It's really a shame too when you think back to the beautiful items he had for sale and how professional it all seemed. It's really just such a shame.
MY GODS ARE SMALL...... AND PLASTIC!

I was standing in the breadline today thinking to myself, I haven't gotten my order yet.
Anybody else gotten anything lately, or has he sent just enough out to quiet people down?"Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came."Comment

Generally Russ has a history of filling enough orders to quiet people down, then he starts doing his own thing. I would assume it would be even worse if he has fallen upon hard times. If such is the case, we are all out of luck
and this is all pointless.
It would always be frustrating seing NEW items for sale in short runs, when my stuff was never being sent.
I see the same thing happening at one of the Mego Style figure companies, so i don't expect this sort of thing to end soon.
Paying for preorders, then new items show up, but the preorders are nowhere in sight.
People are still freaking out about Russ heads they missed out on, so even losing $200 is not enough to deter people.
I have learned, that if you REALLY want it, you pay and keep both fingers crossed.
If you want something, you throw down the money. Maybe you'll get it, maybe you won't. Just like ebay. You can win an auction, you can pay for the auction. Still doesn't mean you will actually receive the item.
I just had one auction item rarity that was "LOST"
whoops - dunno what happened. Here's $1.95 refund...
Back on the hunt for that accessory all ocver again : (
Heck, everything could be perfect but you could have a heart attack before the package arrives.
Nothing in life is certain. (only in the world of mego, things are slightly LESS certain)Last edited by GUYx1; Apr 15, '09, 1:53 PM.Cheers,

I'm still waiting with my fingers crossed. Over 28 heads with paints and a pair of feet. Hope is all I have left.

When you want product and NOT money, wot can ya do?
If he is out of cash, do you think he is going to want to rush to do my massive order of LJN 2 part arm joints that will take forever to assemble?
Or fill ONE order of 28 heads?
When the heat is on, he will ship out a few small head orders.
We are all in the same boat. Russ could cast just the right head. It was like a muse that grabs you and inspires you to drop a ton of $$$ on parts from Doc M, Castaway toys, just the perfect packaging and then build just the right body - You have just assembled the perfect figure - only it is waiting for the head.
A head which will never arrive.
But sadly it isn't just ONE figure, but a whole BOX of figures without heads.
My only suggestion is we get a nice want list together ans see if someone can sculpt heads for us, or remake the Russ heads. And what the heck, maybe a touch bigger this time...
