Still not got mine.
Paid 26th Dec
Not sent till 10th Jan
Tracking shows sent back to sender on the 13th.
It's now the 22nd and they haven't received them and won't do anything until they do.
Common sense would say to send another pair out and wait for the first to be returned to them.
Useless customer service.

That sucks. Hope you receive it soon.

The only thing I can think of is replace them with metal gears.
You should be able to count teeth and measure the size of them and find some online.

Sometimes they are just pressure fit or a tiny allen screw. Worst case you just measure and take pictures of it and break it off. Then thread the shaft and get gears that screw on it.
Someone might know how to take it off properly too.

Not when you put on the shoe like I. The movie. You have to press a button on the shoe to make them tighten and loosen up.

I beg to differ there. Do you have any Cannon Camera products? Even though it says MADE IN JAPAN, think again. I know because I have been to the factories (in Nanjing) where they make the optics for companies like Canon. The lenses are assembled in Japan but the glass itself is made and ground in China. My cylindrical lenses are accurate to less than 1/100th of a degree, so extremely precise.
The problem here is this is not a precise optical component with outside supervision and tight QC. So they will use crap because these are just replica shoes in the end of the day.
In other news, V3 clear sole molds are coming along nicely.
I am pretty much out of pyramid mat.
I am making these 2 part molds and so the magnets serve 2 purpose here.
1 to hold the job down on the steel levelling table and 2, registration points for the 2nd half.
The inner wing mold is loaded with PU and curing now.
Also my not 100 percent accurate bag and book arrived. It is pretty neat.

I'm happy with mine! Yours came a lot faster than mine. Guess you're a bit closer than me.

Was your bag folded in half?I'm happy with mine! Yours came a lot faster than mine. Guess you're a bit closer than me.
I didn't look to see where it came from. I would have happily paid shipping if they didn't have to fold it.

Yes, it was folded. I believe it came from Singapore.

Yeah I just checked the package and it is from a Simon Poon, Singapore. Wonder if he is related to Mark or if Poon is just a common surname like Smith?
Perhaps some reverse engineering with better materials of these gear assemblies could be done and sold as kits to retrofit normal V3.1s into V4s.

Maybe, but i also wonder if maybe the person is using the surname to confuse buyers. Mark Poon (as you know) is a pretty well known name for props, especially BTTF stuff.
