    Captain Mego - Screwed??

    Does anyone know Captain Mego or AKA Chris Meimann? In July I purchased his custom War Machine for $325. As of Sept 7 I have still to receive it. I sent him payment through Paypal. I submitted a claim however due to it being a personal transaction they will not file it. I have sent multiple emails both through Paypal as a money request, email, and his website which hasnt been updated in awhile. His last email was on Aug 8th stating he was mailing to me after receiving the custom box. I have not received a response from him since. From this board I was under the impression he was trustworthy and based on his website he does great Flatt like work. I have many Flatts and other hero customs and was looking forward to adding one of his to my collection. I am really ****ed and disappointed with him. He did mention he needed to sell some of his "prize" customs due to financial reasons so I wonder if he ran off with my money. Has anyone dealt with him before on customs? I dont want to slander him but I have lost all faith and just want my money back. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. If you can contact him for me that would be great. I understand financial difficulities especially in todays economy but this is down right wrong. Please help a fellow custom collector out with any information you may I. Thank you in advance.

    I don't know the guy, but if he was waiting for a custom box on August 8, he still might be waiting for it. Depending on who he orders from, it might take time. But it would be nice if he would keep updating you.
    Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?

    Check out my customs!

      I've been making Chris' boxes for the last 4 years or so....He hasn't placed an order in several months (April actually) and even so there wasn't a War Machine box in the order. Usually he gets his boxes within a week of ordering. So if he did need a box to complete your War Machine it hasn't been ordered. That's the best I can tell you at this point. Last contact I had with him was in April.....

        That's good. I bought one of his boxes off Ebay many years ago, and I'm sorry to say it's freakin' awful. I usually don't comment when I don't like something but sheesh.

          Chris hardly ever comes here anymore. I can't even remember the last time he posted.

              Chris has always been a very talented honest guy.

              I have hopes this is all a misunderstanding on his part and will settle up with you really soon one way or the other.

              If not, his name will be mud around here.

              Keep us updated and welcome to Mego Museum

                all good

                Chris and I were able to come to an understanding..he is a good guy and does follow through..just took awhile as he was modifying the custom making it better.
