Let me see a pic of what you need, and maybe I can help. I do have a 25th Skystriker, and I'm pretty good at molding/ casting. Pretty good.

Thanks for the response. Pic is below, it is the semi-transparent blue Hud that flips up and down.

The difference between TofuJesse and John Alyosha Broken Arrow Toys is this:
Jesse will usually maintain communication with you, apologize, give fake Delivery Confirmation numbers and come through on a $35 order after being outed on numerous fan sites 11 months later.
John will ignore every email you send him, every message/ post/ email on any fan site and come through on your $150+ order over 9 months later after being outed on every fan site you can find.
Meanwhile, RaginSpoon, HotDogg's Stuff and NOVA give you what you pay for with none of the bullshittery. Just placed an order with Vortious yesterday.

No, the difference is this:
-Jesse actually communicates with customers and takes responsibility for the delays. I'm not saying he's perfect or that the follow-through is up to par, but I believe the intent is there. It might not get you your parts any quicker, but that's worth something to me.
- John Alyosha Broken Arrow Toys has the audacity to take offense that anyone would call him out for lack of communication, lack of delivery, and generally act like an asshat to his own customers. He treats the guys who paid for an order like a bother, a nuisance, and generally makes people wish they'd never ordered from him. His seeming disdain for people who complain is palpable, as if they did something wrong.
But I will agree that Vortious, Angel Forge, SWG, and some others have filled the void for people who want some parts without any drama.

I agree with Nacho. Jesse has always come through for me. He has always communicated. I too get a real good sense he cares.
I cannot comment on Aly, never bought from him.

Save yourself the trouble, and keep it that way. You'll only turn into a bitter, angry old man like me, who frequently posts in this thread about what a piece of shit Alyosha is.
Slander!!!! ^^^^
Hey, hey. If the first Spiderman movie taught us anything, what I have committed is libel, not slander.
I pulled my Sky Striker out the other day, and put it up on top of my shelves. I'll look, and see how the HUD is hooked in. If comes out easily enough I'll copy it, and let you know.
Thanks! Planning on making another order from your store so let me know if you can get that cast and I will just place my order then!
Amazingly, there has been a SlayerDave update. Though, no. Not for us who bought cast parts. No, for Project ARAH people:
We all know my personal opinions on the matter. I've repeated them ad nauseum. I just posted this for people who might be interested in what's going on.
I will point out this:
Yes, well that would be hard to do since you spent all our money on recovery and everything else prior to making good on the service you were supposed to be providing.
Anyway, there you have it.

Thanks for posting that Ian, saved me the trouble. Last time I made an update, i posted it across all the boards I had done business on or posted. Since none of what you posted had anything to do with The rest of slayer project, I didnt feel the need to post it.
If you read what I posted, you will see where I am at, and not in much better of a place. But i posted. I also posted there, because I was approached by some others to help get that done.
Anyway thanks Ian for posting...Guess I dont need to post a thread myself.

I've offered to help before and I'll offer again. If you need me to do any work just say the word.
Thanks Dave I might just take ya up on that, thats of course after we play 10 rounds of phone tag,lol.
Thanks man means a lot.
Thanks man means a lot.
Maybe because my grandfather has had cancer off and on for the better part of 25 years, and because I have a young friend now who has it, but with Dave's situation that doesn't really sound surprising.
I'm sure on top of feeling like shit from all the treatment, he feels like shit for all the folks he's left in the dark. I'm not apologizing for him because he pretty much did that for himself, but my last order was from 2 years ago and in excess of $100. Do I want the money back? No. I want the sculpts. Hell, I've gone so far as to order a few of them again from Angelforge. Have I written them off as likely gone? Yes. Will I be ecstatic to ever get them? Hell yes.
I get why people are mad at Dave, but Christ Almighty people. It's been 2 years, leave him the fuck alone. He'll either get to it one day or you'll never see it again. $100 or less of shit isn't worth pestering the goddamn life out of someone who's already been feeling one of the worst experiences someone can experience in their life. Kick a man while he's down. If I was Dave I wouldn't have enough pride or energy to even show my face after having the life sucked out of me by cancer treatment.
I want my parts like the rest of you, but for the love of fucking God and what's left of Dave's sanity... Let it fucking go. He's got bigger fish to fry and if I was him, I'd have told you all to go fuck yourselves lubelessly for two dozen eternities with the fattest demon dick you could find.

Rex,
You know what for a good long time, I didnt have the energy or the desire, I was just in a different mindframe. I battled cancer, I battled depression, I am battling financial hardship, but Damnit I love me some customs, and the very creative peeps who supported me in one way or another. I am not a deadbeat, just a guy who didnt know when to throw in the flag when he should have. i have always thought just keep fighting, keep going, you will get thru this and anything else. This bringer of doom for me, well the 3rd time was the charm, it just kicked my ass. It knocked me down so hard, there was no coming back. I was at a point that I almost couldnt finish my treatment unless I sold slayer. I sold it to a friend, and not a buyer. I sold it to one of the people who was there for me thru it all. darkwynter. At the same time hes been there, he cant be, because of the politics of being involved with Dave from Slayer. I did a whole bunch more then just post product and take folks money. I own everything that I do, and I except full responsibility for its going belly up. It just happen and thats that. Folks who are upset, they have every right, every fucking right. At the same time, this turn -up has no blood left in him. Thats as honest as i can be. I have been honest thru the whole thing.
I didnt duck anything, I have not been hiding, I been healing, and i put the one thing first that I had to. My health. And I am beating this shit, and to me, no matter whats said about me, thats what I got.
So I am back, let the mud start to be slung, I got tough skin, if cancer didnt kill me, name calling and calling me out wont as well.
thanks Rex, you will see those parts.

Haha, thanks on the Ark panel. You have no idea how many times I see those and people take credit for the damned things. I gave 'em away for free for folks to use, and they so much as can't even credit where they got them when someone asks where they got them.
I don't know why the Dave attacks make me so mad, but I've got a friend right now who was a 100% healthy dude... Skinny, healthy buddy of mine. Maybe doesn't work out or eat like an Olympian, but if you looked at him, you'd consider him the bill of health. He was recently diagnosed with what sounds like a fairly "low level" cancer in his lymph nodes. The guy is in his mid-20's, and had to go to Taiwan for treatment due to the rarity/severity of his condition and had to undergo quick, aggressive chemo treatment. His hair just started falling out and he's got zero energy, and won't be able to even think about coming back to the states to so much as work for the next 8 months. And he's single, without a family or business to run.
For the life of me, I can't fathom me or anyone else annoying the shit out of him over $100 that I paid or loaned him 2 years ago that he simply couldn't get to because, oh noes, CANCER got in the way.

I was going to comment, but Rex pretty much said everything I would've.
Also, Dave, you know I'm willing to help as well. Even if it means I have to drive up there and steal the molds and invoices from you.

Rex, you really did a good job helping keep things in perspective. As a friend of Dave's I've seen the financial, personal, family, and health effects this had. The fact is after all that has happened, Dave still is moving towards making good. Not as fast as many would want, but as fast as he can. My biggest fear is he will try to "move the mountain" all at once. Dave please, pace yourself and only tackle what you can at a time. When you are at the point where Fogger, SWG, and myself can assist....we will.
I was thinking of starting a thread with all the casters links in the first post...easy to find...maybe title it "caster links"...what sub forum would I put it in?...maybe B/S/T?...or everything customs?
Good idea or do we already have one and I somehow missed it?
Good idea or do we already have one and I somehow missed it?
I'd say we should just put them here in the front, since it's sort of a 411-info catchall? Or would that just add to the problems?
If we change the title to "links" instead of "411", it might be more obvious...

Okay, updated the first post with all the caster sites Eddie posted. I tried to put the officers who support the site as officers alphabetically first, then everyone else.
If any caster wants his link removed, feel free to let me or another mod/admin know, but we'd prefer to keep a running directory of all live casting sites at least to promote the customizing hobby and act as a sort of resource for customizers, regardless of feedback (that's what the rest of the thread is for). Feedback will not be removed unless it becomes ridiculous or trolling, though.

That was actually a really great idea. Listing all of the currently active sites let's people know that there are more than just the one or two sites out there, and will probably help add traffic to those sites, and drive stronger sales for all of us.
I would go a step further and create a feedback link under each store link instead the mass chaos that ensues behind it. That way someone trying to judge the caster can look at only feedback on that caster.
Well we have some casters who actually participate and respond on this board, and others who don't... We have individual feedback threads here for TJ and DW, I think, and probably Vortious, but who else, I don't know...
We just started THIS one because people kept derailing the hell out of a lot of other threads ranting about various casters, so one spot was the best place at the time to contain all the bitching.

Yeah MR is right. If the caster is someone who posts on here then this thread is an easy way to check in with things. Now it is definitely a good thing to have the individual threads, but this thread allows us to kind of actually help each other when possible, and those of us who are new can learn about the mistakes others made, and learn from them. After all I know I for one prefer to learn from the mistakes other people made instead of my own mistakes whenever possible.
Dude, good to hear it is in remission again. That right there is quality news by itself!
