So excuse a newb question, and I haven't been through all the posts, but is there hard evidence that this has been cancelled? Because the online stores and ebay suppliers have not yet taken down their listings. I have it on pre-order here in Oz at Popculture, and they have not informed me that it has been cancelled.
Considering the fact that SAT have not contacted ANYONE or made any public statements about the project, why would one expect them to notify retailers?
It's a damn shame that this didn't happen... but I'm glad that I got my money back from EFX. Hopefully FE will take up the reigns but I would guess that they will concentrate on releasing props from the FIRST film before the third...

Yes... I am sure that is what it is. They are just ripping everyone off. :facepalm
Really?!? It is one thing to acknowledge that communication has been poor at best, but going from a lack of communication to they "ROYALLY ripped off" the customers is more than a bit much.
Am I not entitled to an opinion?
I am sure I'm not the only person here who thinks something fishy is going on.
The last update on their facebook page was June 2012.

Sure, you are, no matter how great a leap of logic it is to go from "site is down" -> THE SKY IS FALLING AND THEY ARE SCREWING US!
I am sure you aren't the only person who may be thinking this either.. but that doesn't make it true or accurate. SAT/ISS is one of the largest and oldest prop shops in the US. This isn't some fly-by-night operation or amateur hour, just poor communication.

come on... poor communication since June of 2012? Really?
Last post here July 2012? I guess they got busy?

I am not here to defend them (they have an account here and can defend themselves if they feel it is needed), but yup... poor communication since day one. No mystery. No huge plan to rip off fans. Just poor communication and a valiant but failed effort to expand into the licensed replica world. Nothing more sinister or more dramatic than that.... and therein lies the difference between your posts and mine. You are giving an opinion. I am telling you what happened. I guess my facts aren't as titillating as wild speculation, but if you care about what is actually going on as oppose to dramatic outbursts, now you have it.
which they have not used since mid-2012
I don't recall saying they planned to rip people off. Perhaps you can point out that part of my posts?
No, you're giving your OPINION on what YOU think happened. Unless you have some inside information you'd care to share with the rest of us??? So, there is NO difference between the way we are posting. You're giving an opinion, and so am I.
If you'd like to continue to whine about how I am giving nothing but opinion, and you're presenting facts, well then, perhaps you should actually.. you know... present some facts and link to your sources???
You do realize they build the screen used prop and set pieces for almost every major feature film, right? Not making excuses for them, but this was simply a side venture, a foray into our world and clearly a misstep, but let's not make their failure more than it is.
Actually Whovian, from what I've heard that is exactly what happened. BUT how they handle the fallout is telling. Avoiding customers when they call or email is just poor practice and people have good reason to be angry. Art, you can't fault these people for worrying about their deposits. We all know that companies have taken peoples' money and gone under before. It happened with Icons and Unobtanium. They have no other information to go off of and you didn't tell them what you knew until after you criticized their posts.
I have.... in the past few posts and yes, what I am presenting IS fact, not opinion because I have had the privilege of talking with a number of the people involved since very early on in this process while you have nothing but assumption and speculation. Do you really care to carry this further?
Yes, I have read their website. Means pretty much nothing to anyone who has already ordered ans is still waiting for even the slightest sign of communication from them. Past performance doesn't guarantee future performance.
11 months without a peep, to anyone who spent that kind of money, is completely unacceptable. Period. The words 'ripped off' are currently completely valid and justified.
The concern is totally understandable given the poor communication, which I have acknowledged from my first post. But, there is a difference in concern and unfounded speculation that leads to mob mentality. I don't see that as constructive in any way in a situation that is already incredibly unfortunate for both buyer and seller.
You've presented what in the court system is called 'hear say', nothing more. That, is about as good as 'opinion'.
No it isn't because that is a "guilty until proven innocent" approach.
Out of curiosity, did you preorder their pistol?
