Locitus[Admin] Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 Nope! Kind of funny that he's very honest and says exactly what it is he's selling instead of trumping it up to be something amazing when it's junk. But it's still $500 that you're better off saving for a nicer and slightly more expensive kit. In the end you'll be glad you did. Quote
bfst24v6 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks thought it was too cheap to be good. Quote
Bushido Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 Well he did at least say it's a recast. Quote
Geaux Saints[TK] Posted November 24, 2012 Report Posted November 24, 2012 I always laugh to myself when I see a thread titled "Is this any good?", "Is this worth it?", etc. and then you see an ebay link. I usually don't even have to scroll down to see the first answer. Quote

NoVATie[Admin] Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 Seller is a member here.. Quote
carbonitekid Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 Then the member should be named and shamed and issued a 56 day (minimum) ban!! Recasting hurt all in this hobby. If they have gotten as far as the FISD then they are well aware of this. Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 We aren't allowed to ban 501st members though. Quote
carbonitekid Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 We aren't allowed to ban 501st members though. But we are allowed to name ( and shame ) ;-) Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 If you really want to know who he is he posted his TK-ID in the sales description. But there is actually no mention that he is the one doing the recasting. He could just as well just be a front/reseller of the kits. But I'm no fan of what he's doing, that's for sure. It's doing nothing to help the legion look better, and it screws over the customers by taking their money that could be better spent on a more accurate kit. But that goes for all of ebay. To be fair, he has the most honest sales description of a recast fx-kit I've ever seen. Doesn't make it right though. Quote

Darth Hilarious Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 I think his description gave me BRAIN CANCER Can you really say it's "amazingly detailed" when the details are all wrong?? Also he says this (recast FX POS) is his SECOND kit, the first one having been "an eBay ripoff" WTF??? Also he says he bought a bunch of recast kits in bulk (I think I might know where he got them from) Seriously think about this for a minute He is buying cheap recasts, slapping them together and selling them at a profit That is far worse in itself than recasting But to top it all, he is using his Legion membership, including TKID number as an advertising point This guy is actually working super effectively to bring the Legion into disrepute Yes we should name and shame We should take this up with his Garrison, who have the power to ban him We should take it up with Legion HQ (sure, their anti-recast policy has always been weak, but I don't think there has ever been a case this 'special') This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, and I used to photograph rotting dead animals as a hobby Quote
Darth Hilarious Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 and he says "you'll be happy with it" Not once you learn the difference between $#|T and CLAY, you won't Quote
