Some of it is legit. One instance was a guy who said his Bantha box showed up damaged, he then sent the guy a new box, and then the guy put the "damaged" box up for auction at a crazy price. As for his sold out figures, he says they no longer have the molds for them so they can't restock. Also stated that items like the protocol droids sat there for a long time and only went crazy once they sold out. His said his purpose for doing this was to make these items affordable for the collector and he doesn't like seeing them selling for 5x the cost. There is also a lot of animosity towards Smith Lord Creations/The Fans Strike Back. Supposedly they put up some disclaimer that has since been removed that all their presale items were essentially crowdfunding projects and there was no guarantee of products. I'm not sure how much that really holds water considering the items I have ordered included receipts with shipping totals. Granted I think any one of us who has ordered from him has seen very slow shipping. From them I have received the black R2/Stormtooper set, the 3 Boba Fett set, Slave Leia, and the first 2 of the 13 wave (Thrawn and Han ST). I'm still waiting on the other 11 plus the Bantha. So if it is a scam like some have been saying, it is only a partial scam which I could dispute with my credit card company or with paypal.
As for Stan Solo, my girlfriend got me a couple of droids for Christmas. I just ordered a few figures and the vehicle he put out and those are already shipping. I'm just hoping to finally get the other stuff from Smithlord at this point.
