I'm still laughing that he came in here and was bragging about all of his "experience" and "patents." (look at his LinkedIN profile and you be the judge). And that rant on his FB page where he played the victim - while making sure to tell people he never plays the role of victim? Comedy gold!
I noticed he hasn't been back to address the complete and total rookie mistakes he made on those kits. I noticed when questioned about it in the Retroblasting follow-up, he blamed an "associate" who said to "ship it and deal with fixing it later." Who seriously does that? He also lied on that video about YT's model and also about having Kessel Run's replacement parts "ready to ship." As of just a few weeks ago, he had not yet shipped those parts - MONTHS after the video. I noticed he also hasn't addressed those of us who cancelled our orders, who were NEVER refunded, and he blamed our banks and blocked any further communications from us. Yeah, I'm totally sure it's the fault of Chase and other large banks and not the fault of Mars. Funny that the bank contradicted his entire story when I talked to them - IMAGINE THAT. On the bright side for those of us who lost money, his name is out there and he'll never be able to trick others again. The last I heard, he sent an update to Kickstarter people bragging about the numbers shipped and said no additional updates would be provided and that the kits were shipping in "random order." Shipping in random order makes it easy to cover his tracks. Interesting that all of these people have allegedly received them yet no new review videos and I can't find a single person who received one outside of the junky "prototype" kits.

This might be the second biggest bullet I dodged in my life.
The first being my ex-fiance from 20 years ago.

makes you wonder where rodimus fits in all this now. i saw he was involved and noped the fuck out way before all this shit happened. the creator throwing a tantrum here solidified my choice.
but seriously though, rodimus alone is a piece of crap. |

I took one look at the figure Headsculpts and the kickstarter page and I didn't want to take the risk. I miss Pickelhaube and his Hind heli kits.

You guys definitely dodged a bullet. At this stage, even if he shipped perfect kits, the damage is done. You don’t treat paying customers like he has and you don’t block them for demanding he help when a refund doesn’t post. If you watch the Retroblasting video where French interviews him, it’s obvious the guy isn’t very sharp and is lying and the sad thing is, they silenced YT (one of the commenters who was demanding answers about the horrible kit he received) and let Conrad bash him. YT posted his own video that proved Conrad was lying.

The figures were amateur garbage for sure. I actually defended Conrad for awhile and even spoke to him a few times until the Kessel Run video came out. When that happened, I saw how he and Retroblasting treated critics in the ?update with the creator? video and decided I was done. Conrad agreed to cancel my order and refund me. The refund didn?t post. I followed up. He said there was ?nothing he could do? and talk to my bank. I filed a dispute and they said it had been so long they couldn?t force him to refund me, but they did talk to him AND HE REFUSED. I emailed him back, told him what the bank said, and told him he needs to refund me OR ship me a kit and he blocked me. He obviously needs the money more than I do, but I will make sure I advertise his poor treatment of people and dissuade as many people as possible from falling into his sales trap. I have ALL of this documented and have thought about making my own video. Last edited by ICF2023; 08-25-2023 at 10:11 PM.. |

No, he bought the NAME and it was explained to him verbatim that it didn't allow him use of the visual stylings nor did it allow him to use actors likenesses and well...he threw a tanrum in Facebook groups over it.

Ye this and hellscreamrz are complete frauds. Altought I have to say that in the case of hellscreamrz he got screwed with the covid situation and factory as well. He did a lot of work, lots of designs, figures and accessories. That is no excuse off course, I think the just quit it all together and didn't give a shit to the backers.
