Wow, I haven't been online in ages, just come on now, and see this post from only a few days ago! Thanks for bringing it back up for discussion, but the response when I posted the petition was successful at the time, and repros were banned on the site. I'm not on there that often either, but...

Well, I wasn't looking to have you do that. :( You know how strongly I and others are opposed to repros. That's why I commented. I surely wasn't trying to upset you and have you remove them outright, Richard. :( Apologies. Ian

I was a bit stunned also to see this thread here, and especially all the positive comments from people hoping to use them. :( I get that it's 4 years old, and size/quality isn't the best, but without a watermark, there are definitely people who will try and use photoshop to make them work. Is...

Yep, as said, in China the demand for SW is much weaker than the rest of the world. The OT never had a theatrical release. I'm not positive the PT did either. It's mediocre performance in China is what eventually kept TFA behind Titanic and Avatar globally. Rogue One had a big opening, then...

Only if some dummy with more money than brains wants to pay me enough so I can just go re-buy everything and have extra left over. ;) Ian

I can shed a "little" bit of light on this. I interviewed Christine Hewett (Brea Tonnika) just over 10 years ago. I actually just re-posted it on Tantive XI a couple of weeks ago here. In that interview, I specifically asked her about the likeness issue as it pertains to action figures, and...

What about all the international sales? Those can take 6-8 weeks to return to the UK, if not more, and that's just North America. When you've sold bad product, there is NO timetable for a return to get a refund. That's how it works. :roll: You came on here, saying you would answer ANY...

Well, it's great to know Jeff is trying to come on and defend himself, but this second post, like the first, really has a whole lot of.......nothing. This second post is very long. It starts with a couple of personal issues and his choice on how to respond. Then he mentions Frank's email, but...

I want to bump this, as the guy is up to it again - and this time for a MUCH larger amount, and from a different ebay username (I know because the feedback isn't the same). $1500 US. :shock: I received the following message on my Facebook last night. "Ian, I noticed your post to a Star Wars...

In all honesty, you're going to get more value for the majority by watching your son play with and enjoy them. Virtually everything is missing at least one accessory, almost everything has wear, and aside from the Jawa and Rebo Band, there isn't anything worth more than about $15 US each. Most...

I was going to stay out of this thread, as my concerns have been addressed already (writing style, flat out denial in the face of hard evidence, etc). However, I have one serious question. Why will you only accept returns over the next week and a half? Does that include postage time (ie. must...

That one is easy. If he was fully aware which ones were not legit, and he was going to a place filled with knowledgeable collectors, he'd leave the fakes at home. It appears a few have slipped by, but it makes perfect sense that he'd try and only bring the real deal when going to FF. That...

I'm really not sure what the point is here. There are more baggie variants known now for the same reason we now know multiple variants of Imperial blasters. 20 years ago, very few were documenting variants, as it just wasn't something really considered important back then. Beyond black and...

With all due respect, this thread is about what you just said. It seems that until this past week, Jeff was considered a "very reputable dealer". Before him (and not saying they are 100% the same), Toy Toni was pretty reputable too. Same with Scott McWilliams, Billy Boy, etc. All of the...

Hey Frank, I get this has been a stressful experience. Try not to take it too personally. The guys that were critical did it for a reason they felt was justified at the time. The main thing is, late or not, you're presenting the evidence needed to sway people now, so venting your frustration...
