Not sure which company would be responsible for it, but I wonder if that's what hinted down the line for TFCon's "Bikemurder" character. If it's a kit or a complete overhaul, I'd want one.

I earnestly wish MJ all of the very best with his business ventures and, of course, his personal life. While I do not discuss moderation taken towards a member with anyone, I think the Commissioner's Listing and Feedback thread (which has already been referenced here several times) is enough for the public to ascertain what they need of the situation. Public knowledge is public knowledge.

I have never placed an order with MJ, so I have nothing to loose or gain from a personal standpoint. I've never met MJ in person or contacted him any further than replying in his project threads and my many attempts to contact him about how things were going while he attempts to fill orders. For anyone to think I have any kind of personal vendetta against MJ is completely misinformed and has no connection to me in any way, or else they would know differently.

The Creative Forums are not merely a showcase forum only. Just as the Junkion Exchange allows for sales, the Creative Marketplace allows members to take on commissions, etc. using TFW2005.COM as a means to handle those orders. That being the case, if a Staff member sends a pm regarding business practices that involve our site as a means to operate said business, TFW2005.COM does reserve the right for members to be allowed to use that system to take on orders . . . or not.

I would suggest that if anyone has a problem with TFW2005.com to contact an administrator. I can assure you that no kind of "favoritism" of any kind is exercised by myself or any other Staff member that I've ever seen anyways. Also, I am either a pm or a visitor message away [visitor messages are a good way to contact me if my pm box happens to be full]. I try to be diligent in responding to correspondence.

I hope that helps some.

I was very hopeful when I heard about the mass production of MJ's product, but given the quality and limited options (as well as limited supply) of what was given, I had to pass.

Lucky Rogers gave us a couple nice add ons. I would like to see them contact MJ for permission to use his molds so more of us could have access to some of these great works and proceed to repaint them for additional options, but only time will tell if we see any of that down the line.

Hey, Im the one who started this whole mess. I appreciate you coming on here to clear things up. Although this is my main site, I enjoy your site too and don't want to get outed anywhere. I guess I just took someone else's description of what happened to heart before knowing TFW's actual stance. I'm no fan of locking profiles because if I don't follow conversations on certain threads, ill never know why it happened. I did all my business with MJ through g-mail so when I heard he was banned, I was like WTF ? I can only hope that you guys didn't delete his profile altogether because you have hopes that he is gonna make a comeback and make good on all his orders. Sorry if anything I said about TFW2005 came off as being harsh. My bad...

I'm sure they're referring to Cy-Kill there, but I don't think he'll actually be one of their exclusives.

Not a problem, and I'm glad I was able to help clear some things up then.

So does he still take orders through his paypal site? Has the wait time gone up?

I was thinking of placing a small order with him again. I had a pretty good experience the first time. He was pretty prompt responding to my emails and I got my order in a timely fashion...


Not to stir the pot up further and not sure if I have the whole story, but, his products really took off there, I can see how he might have gotten overwhelmed. I bet he was doin pretty good business. I wonder if at some point it would have been smart to bring someone else into the fold to make it easier for him and also to improve customer relations.

I have not heard anything in months about Maiden Japan. Curious if he is still making them and what the situation is too.

A-01 & D-01 are still in stock at Robot Kingdom, if you're into the pre-painted versions (like I am). B-01 is out of stock, and we never got a C-01. What's up with that?

You can also go the Lucky Rogers route. Those aren't nearly as nice, but they're less prone to breakage due to being made of plastic instead of resin.

Actually I was thinking of the Inferno Grapple kits he made...those are the ones you usually ordered from his Pay pal store not e-retailers? Does he still take orders for the non-mass produced stuff?
