The rep also posted a couple times "people not wanting to visit the website because they told two people to not visit Kebco". I don't think he could grasp that it was his attitude and responces that turned people off. I just wish I woulda been able to stay awake long enough to follow those 3 threads through till their ends. I could see the threads being locked, but it is kind of sad to see them deleted. Like JoshEEE said:

I was surprised to see that those threads had been deleted, as they were a mix of both testimonies AND trashing of the Kebco service, and you'd think that would be informative for collectors and members of that site.

There probably would have been less Kebco trashing if their business manager had responded to the situation better.

I followed those 3 threads up till roughly 11:15-11:30PM EST last night. I have to agree with the Wookie. The professionalism, or lack thereof, by the Kebco representative (their Business Manager) had turned a few potential customers away.

The Kebco rep had taken a comment that someone had made that was obvious sarcasm (about how if their preorder was cancelled Kebco would go under) and tried to make it sound like it was a blatant lie. They also called someone else out for a comment posted claiming it was a lie (I believe the poster in question posted the e-mail Kebco sent that contained the supposed "lie"). It was amazing how the so-called business manager accused alot of people of twisting his words around, yet was guilty of doing the same thing.

I'm not sure what was funnier, the Kebco bashing or the Kebco rep with his gung-ho battle ready abrasiveness.

Thanx dustrho

Drunk. Now no, not drunk at the moment. Last night I had a few though  

Thanx peeps. My girlfriend's son snagged me a female Tusken w/child (now I have 2. My girlfriend got me a $30 gift card for TRU (spent it tonight too). Got another $60 ($40 was used at TRU).

At TRU I managed to get a lego squad car (been neglecting my Legos since the summer started). For my Muppets I got Rizzo The Rat. For the Mattel Batman line, finally got me a Joker (just wish I had enough left to get the Batmobile). For Star Wars, grabbed an R2 Droid Factory Flight, Secret Ceremony Anakin and a Mynock Hunt Chewy (all TRU had and I wish I could have found Barriss or Aayla, but it is nice to see some 2003 figs north of the border).

Also got my order from Legends (Ordered Monday night, order shipped yesterday morning, never seen shipping that fast not even from peeps here in the same province). That order was Saga - Padme Droid Factory Chase, POTJ - Eeth Koth, Sabe, Zutton, Obi Wan (Jedi Training Gear), Shmi Skywalker, FX-7, X-Wing Pilot Luke, Emperor's Wrath Vader. Great price some POTJ stuff at the moment, 10 or 11 figs are going at $2.99 CAD a piece.

Happy belated to DarthWormie and Valtar

I liked the OT but back then, I was more into playing with GI Joe, He-Man, Lego and TransFormers. As a teenager I stuck with my Legos and my Joe and TFs were put on a shelf. When I moved out on my own, I started back into GI Joe and TFs. After I met my girlfriend, I started collecting WWF/WWE, the new MOTU, Batman, various Toy Biz lines, various McFarlane lines (mainly the Spawn line). One day we went to stop at Burger King for lunch and I picked up an E1 Qui-Gon that someone had left in the parking lot. After that we went to TRU because I wanted to check and see if they had any new GI Joe figs and the Darth Vader Bespin Duel Saga fig caught my eye. Since then I've concentrated on the POTF2-Saga figs (with a couple vintage Stormtroopers because you can never have enough of them   )
