I have absolutely not one single goddamned idea how you people are swearing off ever backing a Marauder KS again simply because of 'silence'. Marauder John ate several thousands (tens? hundreds?) of dollars after the factory fucked up the first run of first-campaign figures and he paid out of pocket to re-do the entire thing and this is the loyalty you people have? None of you *DESERVE* this company's products, imho.
Christ, they're simply smart enough to not say stuff they ain't got in-hand. They don't show off renders any more because y'all just bitch about stuff that ends up different. Jesus, this is some entitled-ass shit y'all are crapping out, people. |

If you?ve been there since Day 1?through, what, 4 successful Kickstarters??why haven?t they earned your trust by now? They will be updating us soon; the sky is not falling.
I repeat, the sky is NOT falling. Although quoting you, I?m speaking to anyone who is running for cover, smh? This is a smaller independent company that has been delivering top quality product at affordable prices and also ventured to expand into themes that many of us collectors would haver imagined we'd see. So complaining ONLY is a bit unfair as it comes across the wrong way so you know. Have faith! Last edited by paokole; 01-30-2023 at 12:00 PM.. |

Jesus, this is some entitled-ass shit y'all are crapping out, people. I do not think we can talk about people that do not deserve this company products. Marauders have to convince us to buy it products, not the other way around. At the end, Marauders is a company and we are the customers. There is nothing special about the relationship between us and Marauders, it is just company-customers relationship. We don't owe Marauders any loyalty, at least no more loyalty than their products and customer service can earn. If people feel that Marauders customer service is lacking because of this silence, then that is their experience. Personally, I agree that Marauders have great products, and I still believe that they will deliver great products from this KS. But I am not happy about the no updates for such a long time and I can understand people who lost their faith in the KS. |

People can have their own opinion on Marauders KS. If the silence makes some people to not want to go through this experience again, they don't have to support the next Marauders KS.

I don't give a single fuck how much money you paid into the campaign, not a single goddamned one of you deserves to be told a single fucking thing on *your* timetable. Once and only once he fails to deliver the product you bought you'll have a reason to bitch but until that happens every single complaint is simply childishness. Let the man do the goddamned work you paid him to do and quit bothering him about horseshit that just distracts him from it. |

From Kickstarter's FAQ pages:
https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-u...oject-updates- Quote:
It is our expectation that creators will post at least one new update a month once funding is finished, to keep their backers in the loop - this could simply be a small note to check in with your backers, or a single photograph of what you are working on - just something to let your backers know you?re still working on the project.

I can't understand not calling such crybaby-ass children the crybaby-ass children they are. MarauderInc is not in the business of providing goddamned 'updates', and they ALREADY convinced us to buy their products since the KS campaign succeeded wildly beyond everyone's dreams. Crybabying about needing to be 'sold' on what you've already bought yet again is nothing but entitled bullshit.

I agree with you 100% I'm pretty sure the ones bitchin n moaning are first time backers.

Yesterday Marauder posted this message:
"We'll have the update sent out by this Monday night or Tuesday night at the latest. Thanks again! MJ" And for those of you who may be a little nervous about your order, let me say that I've participated in every KS of theirs as well and have no doubt that they will deliver a quality product in a reasonable time. The fact that they put a hold on their other projects to ensure the Vietnam project gets completed shows their level of commitment. I know that some like to get updates, but I wouldn't worry about anything at the moment. For past kickstarters, I simply paid, sat back, placed my hands behind my head and enjoyed other hobbies during the wait. I never gave it a moment's thought until the deadline rolled around and then was pleasantly surprised when the orders shipped out. Just hang in there. Good stuff is on the way. |

You know, I've noticed that adult toy collectors just like to bitch and/or worry, so no updates just feeds both of those things. But you can't update if there are no updates...unless you wanna pass off a buncha bullshit as an update, of course. Even with constant updates though, I'm sure we'd still find something to bitch/worry about.
