eFX petition.

[Mandible]

Hey guys,

As I've been reading through the endless amounts of ongoing/unresolved issues with eFX products - and their subsequent neglect to rectify them in a timely manner - I've decided to put together a petition (for those that wish to be involved) listing all the problems/issues, etc we've been having.

I feel a strong sense of community toward fellow collectors (particularly when they are having a bad experience) and have decided to do this to try and protect the joy of collecting these high end products.

As I've previously mentioned, the Star Wars brand is a privilege, not a right, and I believe eFX have abused that privilege for far too long.

If we band together and demand a change, Lucasfilm (Disney) will have to stand up and take notice. And for those who fear we will lose these high end collectibles if eFX goes... think about it logically; Disney just paid $4.05 billion for the brand. Clearly that means there's a lot of "legs" left in Star Wars and there would be many company's that would jump at the opportunity to have the license (Sideshow, perhaps?)

Change only occurs when apathy is suppressed. Even if you've had a good run with them, have sympathy for the many good folk who haven't, and let us unite with our fellow collector to demand something better.

Curious to see if anything can "light a fire beneath their *****". And unfortunately, it is their right since it was them who signed a contract with Lucasfilm.

I'd join your cause if this would get them to speed things up though. I'm chomping at the bit for their studio scale Slave 1 and the only eFX product I have is the Vader ANH and everything seemed ok with mine.

Clearly you have zero-care for anyone but yourself.

Ask any of the people with 10 month old (plus) unresolved issues with eFX if they have the same attitude?

BTW: What has "importance" got to do with anything? I never said I was important, but rather, someone who'd to write a letter to Lucasfilm if there was/is a desire.

However, if everyone is happy with eFX, then I'll "shut-up" just to please you Nash - you supremely important person; justified by over 17,000 posts.

I'm not worthy of a man so desperate he has an avatar of a female because he'll never be able to get one in the real world...

I don't know if EFX is doing a bad job or not, but I don't think a petition is going to do anything.

I would imagine they are fully aware of whatever issues they have, I haven't been following but if it's the same as MR, then it's quality and the crazy delays. I doubt they want those problems so I don't think a petition is going to somehow fix them.

Nash is a flipper and a speculator, and with that I've said everything. Flippers and speculators are the lowest life forms on earth, even lower than an amoeba, but I do have more respect for any unicellular organism than I do for Nash...

I normally try to stay out of things when comments like this are made. I'm curious though, if you don't care, why did you take the time to post? You contributed nothing to this thread.

Everybody always talks about these forums bring us together as a community and all that; but after a post like this, I'm forced to ask if that is true.

I'm sure you'll retort with a witty comeback and I'm just a newb or something along those lines. And I'm sure you'll even generate a few laughs. However, all you'll do for me and a few others is confirm what a snob you are.

Its Nash's tired tough guy routine. No one listens anymore , but he still tries to be relevant. Mundane attention grabbing.

I had a big confidence in eFX some time ago, I thought they were meant to take over where Master Replicas left. But their lack of quality control, bad shipping policy, and some new arrogant collaborators and employees, though lack of other more important ones like a communication person (like Amy was for MR), made me think eFX is not what it could have been. eFx managed to set on fire collectors from all over the world by offering sub-par products and no communication. They need to wake up or take a hike. Quite simple.

i dont even want to waste my time with efx it's a lost cause. Just get my tie fighter and get the **** out. If it comes with issues, return for refund. Either way i will be done with efx after tie fighter. What a joke of a company.

Does anyone know the real reason why master replicas folded? can never get a straight answer. The star war vehicle license is arguably one of the most popular merchandise on the market, but right now has no manufacturers how crazy is that!! Cant believe both mr and code 3 folded....

You'd think it would be a license to print money, but Star Wars licensing companies seem to always have issues.

From what I heard at the time (which maybe completely false) Lucasfilm wanted to increase the licensing fee and MR thought that would dig too far into their profits and not make it worth their while...

They where bought by Corgi & now produce crap I believe

 

[tylerdurden]

mandible, you have my support for this petition. if it means getting efx to get off their procrastinating butts and get stuff out on time and with good quality, then sign me up. and ignore the trolls. they just want a reaction.

i'm still waiting for their iron man (avengers) 1:1 helmet. back in april they said it would be up for preorder by may. that was 6 months ago.

 

[ComedicHistorian]

Small issue that was probably already addressed....I do NOT want Sideshow to get the license. I love them to death but they're one of the last companies I would trust with creating high-end accurate replicas of SW sabers, blasters, helmets etc

 

[shocktrooper_au]

IMO EFX can take as long as they want with producing a quality item, But a large NRD & no communication (or limited) is not good enough and again quality control

 

[averone]

Okay I don't follow everything they have done, but I like to know what issues you guys had with eFX other then the long wait and hefty NRD?
I bought a few buckets, 2 X-wings and now the Tie. So far so good, Tie will be here next month

Hey,

Read any of the last 50 pages of this thread and you'll know exactly the anxiety people are feeling... in fact read the last post that has just gone up (#1986)...

Yeah, have to agree. SSC would definitely cut corners, I think.

In regards to eFX, although a petition will not likely result in any change, I'd still be down with adding my name to it. They are far beyond unprofessional and really don't deserve the license, IMO.
