hm, I cna't get into the chinese star wars forum, I'm not sure how.
But i think the posters there would have more inside information than us, so they might be okay, but If this could help, sure.
edit: i 'm already a member
yay must've done it that one time I had to vote for the terminator custom
, got a link to where I should post?
Basically , he made up such BS stories I knew from the start (or when I read the post
)
He said, "yeah I contacted vancei with help of arnie and kojun"
that's racist and incoherent since arnie and kojun aren't customizing sculptor buddies, nor are is kojun really affiliated with Vancei.
However, Vancei and Arnie do know each other quite wel and they are both meticulously and STRONGLY against such scammers.
Arnie once posted on his blog about a hacker on Vancei's blog.
Vancei is super-cautious about his figures due to a previous scam to Arnie.
No where in hell woudl they sell a figure for that cheap ($550 ) and why would melvin want to let all 10 of his super rare figures go?
is he gonna use that money to buy 100 lesser figures?
Vancei only releases his figures locally, and Arnie is now SIGNED with Enterbay so any new customs that come up will probably be sold from there, so I doubt he'll be releasing any more ultra rare-originals. If he does, thats great, but if not, no surprise because he's big-time sculptor.
Kojun has his own studio and a joint 1:6 tailorer, so I can gaurantee his items won't hit a low price tag either. his customs are like 1:6 master replicas
Vancei stopped producing the anakin figures and went into depression for a time because of someone who tried to sell his figure on eBay.
you know how much time and work that anakin figure sucked in?
the shoes are magnetic and heavy, so you don't need a stand.
They are literally constructed the sAME way we construct 1;1 , with all the parts, etc.
The light saber and whole entire forearm was constructed so that the lightsaber could light up.
he resculpted the whoel forum and the upper torso.
That's an amazing custom and I doubt he'd sell t for $550 to a foreigner especially.
so thats just what I got to say.
lets hope melvin acts quickly because soooner or later he's gong to get caught.
I'm betting he's scammed over 1300 dollars worth or more?
I'd go full out if I was scammed even $50.
