Parks Order... USK's, Kobolds. New Info 1-11-07

[Sporak]

Hi everyone...

I was asked to head up this final wave of this hellish Parks order.

Dave is beside himself with grief over this and I've assured him that we here don't blame him in this...but it's in fact Jeff Parks who deserves our frustration and anger if it exists.
If you feel as I do please offer him support on this page...I'd like him to know he's welcome here.
He has many friends...

Anyway...below is a portion of what he sent me...
He's had some hardships and personal matters but
really wants to get this over with and move on.
Enjoy some props for a change

I'm available most of the time so if you have any questions just PM me \
and I'll see what Ican do...

For those needing just the Kobolds it looks like we might just get them finally...*whew*

But as you read on, those needing the whole thing or replacements
are pretty much stuck with a refund...unfortunately.

The two web forms are below here and then repeated in Dave's text in context below the line.

For Refunds

Kobold Confirm

Again, PM me if you need anything...Thanks for your ongoing patience.

Sporak/Bill

*Quoted and pasted from Dave's Email*

I've got to get shipping addresses verified AGAIN before having Jeff ship out the
Kobolds he has for my orders. I attempted to send him the list at least
twice - he says he didn't get it. He's also blamed "computer problems" on
lack of e-mail response in the past as well - but I don't have the time or
energy to get into it with him. I just want our issues resolved and all of
this out of my life.


I hate to ask people to re-verify their
outstanding issues, but it's going to be the fastest way for me to follow
through and be able to verify this stuff. So:

1. Refunds. I setup this form for anyone who has not received orders so I
could just issue a refund:

For Refunds

A few people have already used it. Basically, with the exception of Kobolds,
if someone hasn't gotten their USK, Obi or MPP parts, I'm not going to be
able to get them now and they will be refunded for those. I have 4 MPPs with
broken/damaged parts I'm STILL trying to get Jeff to replace - but thus far
he's been uncooperative. So I don't know if I'll ever get that resolved, but
I'm not planning on it right now

2. Missing Kobolds. For those that got EVERYTHING BUT THE KOBOLD REPLICA,
and for those that ONLY ordered Kobolds (very few) - I need those people to
remind me what they are owed and confirm their latest shipping address ASAP.
I created another web form for that:

Kobold Confirm

His Kobold form does not work with non-US addresses. It has required fields that are not part of my address.
Could you forward this info to him, please.

 

[propcicle]

I got an email from Parks last night saying my Kobold was being shipped. Hopefully everyone else will get their stuff soon.

I confirmed my addy with Dave this morning. Poor guy, no good dead goes unpunished.

 

[wuher da brewer]

I'd like to see itbedave return. I'm not owed product, I just miss the guy.

 

[Sporak]

Force Commander, I hear ya. One of my favorite phrases...and sooo true.

Guys...messages sent...I'm awaiting a reply.

Markus,
I was able to fill it out this way...you can just put a 0 in the "other" required fields.

You could probably put your country in the secondary address space too, but I wanted to see what it would do...

I will forward a confirmation from Jeff to each once I get his confirmation

You might make sure that people understand that IF they should have any
issues with their Kobold replicas, they should contact Jeff immediately to
resolve them/get replacement parts. Thanks again.

Dave has to be at the end of his rope with this deal. I've never forgotten that he was the one that stood up and offered to put together the initial bulk order for the USK's so that we could get the price break.

No doubt there was a TON of time, effort, work and frustration that went into and has continued to go into this as it dragged on and on and on. Even without all the real life things going on, it had to be one hell of a handfull.

Glad to see that this might be coming to a close soon and Dave can let out that last sigh of relief. :thumbsup

 

[Gigatron]

Well, I recieved my kobold this evening :thumbsup

I just want to thank both Bill and Dave for going through hell and back to help us all out with this order. Both of you gentlemen deserve a standing ovation for the effort you've put into this :cheers :thumbsup

-Fred

 

[Force Commander]

Mine arrived yesterday.

 

[BrooklynGuy]

Just want to say I received mine today & to give a big THANK YOU to both Dave & Sporak for seeing this through for members of this board. A simple group order turned into a nightmare for Dave.
Again guys, thank you.

 

[Ghost Host]

Hey, while you're at it, why not ask him (JP) what ever happened to my authentic "pristine" MPP parts (still missing ...now, 3 years later).

Off the top of my head, I need my entire clamp with lever and plastic insert, my original shroud thumbscrew, the aluminum pull-button with spring, and the black button below it. Probably missing something else too, but can't remember without pulling out the parts I do have. Thanks.

 

[Sporak]

I feel for you Steve, I think you got ripped.
Unfortunately...

I will add that I too received my Kobold...BUT...we were SUPPOSED to get an additional Kobold D ring thing so we wouldn't "Have" to take the one off of our Droid caller...
I know that won't happen though...

There's little I can do about your deal though, all we're doing is trying to get Dave's orders finished up.

I'm not in contact with Parks and Dave was just a co ordinator of THIS mess.

If you want to organize something I WILL support you however

 

[Sporak]

Hi Everyone...
Due to circumstances I was off line for a week...all is well now though
I havent heard anything though besides Eric's order has shipped...

Thanks for letting me know you got your stuff guys...

 

[mbmcfarland]

I got my Kobold too.

Thanks to Dave and all who helped keep this "bulk order" alive for over two years.

Mike

 

[Goffcorp]

Kobold showed up today.

Thanks once again for all the effort and persistence that was required to keep this alive.

Goffcorp

 

[Treadwell]

Got mine, too. Well, that's the end of an era.

 

[Darth Lars]

Btw, Sporak, could you tell Jeff to be kind with the customs declarations when he makes those international shipments. Thanks.

 

[Sporak]

Darth Lars,
Your message has been passed on to Dave..
