First I am sorry. I don't even know where to begin...so to put it out there, I am healthy...that is good....but I have had some really bad stuff happen to me in the past few months, personally, finacially, job...you name it. It almost sounds unbelievable, so I won't get into it. Second, I WILL NOT Rip anyone off. Third I feel horrible since I have not had time to check the boards, I am sure people are freaking out. It sucks cause the SSF boards is a place I love so much, but I almost feel like I can't sign on since I have been absent for so long...catch 22 right? The longer I stay away the more ticked people become, then I feel worse about the whole situation. Again I am very sorry for the way I handled the situation, it was way overwhelming for me. I thought I could do way more than I could and it caught up with me. I way underestimated the cost and as more and more piled up I was barely breaking even on the US orders and the shipping on the Intl. orders actually costs me money. But I didn't have the heart to tell you all cause I really want to come through. Because in the end the finished dios are amazing.(ask those who got them). That IS the truth, I don't expect everyone to believe me but It IS what happened, but I am not gonna run out on you guys...its not in my blood. Some of you may have bad things to say about the situation and to be honest, after what I've been through...go for it. I know what is going on in my life right now. But I love this place an it is a place of comfort and solice for me to talk about...TOYS, its an escape from reality.
Enough of that though, I WILL make it right with everyone. I will either send them the dio I owe them or if they choose I will refund them their $$$ back.
Of course to be honest, I hope most of you still want the diorama, since there is no way I could manage all the refunds right now. I have already resumed work on the dios again on these this week.
Bottom line, no one will get ripped off, this thing got way out of hand and I took way too many orders, and got overwhelmed. But I will make it right. Hang in there fellas.
thanks,
mike
