To the friends of Les; thank you for showing your support and putting your own heads out there vouching for him. It does help, I am not close with him, but the first impression he gave me in our transaction, combined with your vouching, really cemented my view on the man, and helped me rationalize this all. You spoke on his behalf when he himself could not, calmed brewing storms at every turn and that means a lot to his customers. Nothing short of exceptional stewardship FYI.

You're welcome. I am awesome, I know. Often times I forget just how of the chain I really am, it takes a post like this to remind me. Thnx.

Thank you for showing we can be understood. All we've been trying to do is confirm that you can trust in and cout on him, no matter your concerns about the transaction, it's a troubled communication process and transaction process, but it will all come to a mutually satisfactory conclusion with time, understanding, and faith.

Dozens of people aren't speaking out to chastise the concerned folks who aren't close to Les, we're mererly trying to offer up information to comfort and explain so that the concerned customers can get through all this as smoothly as we're all trying to support Les in getting the work done as soon as is possible for him to in his circumstances. He has precious free time, the details of his limited time are availalbe, he's working on everyone's stuff, at this point the best thing is to let him be to just work work work.

I consider myself more of the plate, but the chain is nice too.

I think I meant "off the chain"

Les is a stand up guy and will take care of the orders. I wish him all the best with his family problems.

 

[Raymond F.]

I can imagine it would be tough to wait a year for something. I'm only in a month waiting time myself and I can't wait from excitement and my headless Bond collection, but I think we all we want to keep Les happy and interested in doing this. as soon as it becomes a chore, his heart will not be in it, and the work will suffer from being rushed and devout of the passion that makes his stuff look killer in the first place hopefully it can be an escape from his family problems and we all, Les included benefit from that.

I can only imagine though that its tough knowing the work has been done for months but it just can't get shipped out however. It's not comforting for those in that boat to know this present tense, but for the rest of us, Les included it is comforting to know Les will treat it as a learning experience as a way to handle business differently in the future to ensure that won't happen again. Things come up, its hard. I'm sure dissapointing customers puts a heavy burdan on him, but im sure when all customers get their stuff all will be forgotton because it will look great and better than 90% of the regular incarnations of that figure sitting on eveyones elses' shelf around the world.

I wish Les luck and strength.

 

[Les Walker]

Thanks Raymond. Honored to paint up your Bonds, and hope to get the rest of them someday.

STUFF COMING SOON GUYS! Shipping already on some stuff with a large shipout coming next week, so stay tuned.

 

[Les Walker]

A member has intentionally and maliciously locked up my Paypal with a greivance.
Now I do not have access to the funds I was planning to use to ship out many of the heads in the coming weeks. The Hicks head that the member desires was to be shipped to him this week, and he has been told this, BEFORE the block was posted...so why does he do this??? Now???

Please sir, remit the issue in Paypal so I can ship more items out. Those are the only funds I have for this purpose. I have emailed you and PMd you and will be sending your head, AS PROMISED, regardless. You did this after being told your head was coming. Why did you do this?
Please explain and let the others know why their stuff cannot be shipped.

Thanks.
Les

 

[tigerfeet]

sorry to hear this Les......boy poor show by whoever has done this especially if you told them its on its way...........

so come on whoever...release the account and let the goodness flow......

 

[Wanderer]

That is bang out of order imo...Name and shame him. My pitchfork is ready for some prodding action

 

[pjam]

Not cool. Whoever did this, you are hurting other Members now.

I just sent Les funds for something else so now you are messing with me too.

Release the hold. All you need is a tracking # from Les to know your stuff is on its way.

 

[Les Walker]

Hold back the sticks and pitchforks guys. I got mad and maybe shouldn't have posted, but it angered me. Still, NO WAY I loose the guy on you dudes! Don't want a death on my conscience!

We are working it out. No shipping today though. Waited too long to go to the post office. MONDAY though! Do or Die!

 

[Les Walker]

Situation resolved. Another friend made in the process.
Thanks all.
Must go work now. No way near done yet!

Les out!

Glad it's all worked out Les.

Glad to see things were resolved swiftly. I can only attribute it to what probably was a real gentleman's approach by Les, instead of the pitchfork and torch alternative. Kudos.

Also glad to see you're slowly but surely getting back in your game, Les.

I hope you won't mind me asking, though - in what order will you be processing your backlogged orders? I think this is a fair question and is probably burning in the minds of many of us waiting in line. Will it be done according to "first come first served" or will you be following your own personal way of prioritizing things?

Not trying to be a smart alec here, just genuinely curious. Not really asking for a concrete timetable but just something to give us an idea how long it might be before we get our paid-for orders. Mine is for the Reeve Superman head sculpt, if that info is needed.

Again, I'm really glad to see you posting on a more regular basis again. I hope you can give a quick reply to this inquiry.

Thank you for your time.
