Solomon made some comments yesterday.

Still backed up... last argument I had with them was about them the painting of the figures and the slow process... that was two weeks ago... the biggest issue in the Number and qty of what has to be painted and there is no way they will do half and ship out... I did ask about the blanks which they said they would get back to me on... Im gritting my teeth and beyond annoyed. I get the lost a lot of staff and hard to get ppl to come in especially paint but Covid or not... this was past over due way before covid ... im gonna wait it out a bit longer and then re evaluate which direction i will go in... till then i will stay as positive as I can... and i wont give up.

Garbage. Where’s his update on the KS page? Oh yeah, those people don’t deserve updates.

Solomon made some follow up comments. I have included them below. Some of this might may seem slightly out of context, as he was responding to people on Facebook.

You also know what happens when you rock that boat and put pressure on then or lay out threats. Im being very and beyond patient because of everything I have invested, I have considered a few options which I think I may go with (drop qty) which means no re orders of wave one of any kind after what is sold...which does not benefits as well as cut out extra weapons and blanks of any kind . Im trying to not go that route...Wel will see in the next few weeks what transpires but know this... the type of Pressure I am applying is boarder line and almost to a breaking point.

Not everything has to be updated when i said I would let ppl know is when i have something SOLID anyone who can not deal with can always speak to me about it and no im not being a dick about just not going back and forth this was in passing and something i wanted to mention not something I have to mention... its starts to become ppl "know it all all day I heard this " with misinformation... this is the reason why i do not or do not have Adam post thing till "I" know 100% things in my hand this just leads more disappointment to what happen how come back and forth not doing that. I post what needs to be posted info what needs to be informed when i gather enough to determine what is the WHOLE out look then I mention it... I will give you an example... In feb i was provided with 12 pic 8 which were like this about he blanks, something were missing that I noticed... so i went back and forth so to me this is not news... this is something i have already posted and seen for a year now... not that exact pic... but other like it tons of them... however...FOR ME... this is just a set up for failure ppol start to assume they will be next week when i dodnt even know , they start spreading rumors (you can thank those ppl) and or remove them from the community as a community... But i Digress.... seeing this when I have hundreds of Blanks samples at the studio doesnt impress me nor does that or the pics they provided prove to me that there is Progression . It is slow as all hell... with understanding but not really for me... been way to long as I said...but I know its coming along, just beyond slow for my liking. When there is SOLID information to update I will till then... I will say things passing to Answer and not seem like I am ignoring other than still "Slow"

This pic means nothing to me, if anything its ass backwards because i have full assembled blanks with gear tons of them... Adam has seen them in person for what a year now?

Wow! Sorry but that is news for us to know how bad the situation is. This demonstrates a poor sense of what is considered communicable information. Bill kept us up-to-date on all set backs and that's why very few were calling for his head. This is just unbelievable.

So many issues with that. I give up on complaining about it, he's obviously not going to change his communication style.

Sounds like really for me I'll do what I've been doing, which is waiting and it will fulfill one day or it won't. Either way my money is a sunk cost and in the past by almost a half decade now, and it will either pan out or join the list of other burns I've had on KS. Slowly my days of backing KS campaigns (I've been a Superbacker for years due to how many I've backed) or other indie sites is starting to wane as well. Same thing happened to me with PledgeMusic when they went belly up, and I got burned by that situation backing musicians and bands I liked who were crowdfunding.
Also in the industry I am in we deal a lot with China and factories, and you're pretty much at their mercy. Since the owners are typical CCCP party members, they have their backing and if you get screwed or they take your money and don't make your product, you have little to ZERO recourse. So you push them or piss them off, they can literally walk away with your money and your intellectual property with an oops, oh, factory fire, all your product gone.... or some other B.S. excuse. For me, the sad thing is by the time I get this I'm probably going to be halfway through my shedding my massive collection as I go minimalist and anticipate moving overseas as I near retirement. The sooner I can do that and get out of the U.S.A. the happier I feel I will be as this place spirals on the path it's on. Maybe one day boom we'll see these.

And, I gotta say I’m really liking this line of figures but really glad I’m not a Kickstarter backer, I feel for those that are! |

This is quickly going to result in breaking of rule #4, I'm certain.

Yeah, I'm not going to elaborate on my beliefs as some will agree and some will disagree, but this is a toy forum and that's the topic to stay on.
