I am hardly accusing Elton of anything. I even said I understand. Just hard to forget getting burned, ya know?

***UPDATE***

Just spoke with Elton and he's currently out of town for work with no access to internet. He will respond when he's back.

Its the group buy runners responsibility to give updates for their group buy.

I feel like there's more than a little overreaction in this thread. It's not uncommon for things to go a little dark between payment and the completion of manufacturing. I don't think your GB money buys a response whenever you feel like you want one.

Again: duck is not elton, duck has access to e-mail and internet at the moment, elton hasn't. There was an e-mail sent to duck (again: he is not elton and therefore has access to internet atm), who is the designer and has access to gb information. He gave the person who sent him the e-mail (this person was not elton) the current status and the person who got the information shared it with us. Elton still has no internet access and was not involved in anything of this.

Do you want me to list the successfully run GBs by IvanIvanovich? Do you want me to link you to people saying what you just said about him when he went radio silent???

This is not to say that Elton == IvanIvanovich, I am merely pointing out that it would be foolish not to question some of these things. If we keep blindly defending these GB organizers you are going to get burned sooner or later.

Bottom line is people have $430+ riding on this, I think it is a understandable that they get antsy when the person they sent that money to hasn't logged on in ~20 days.

With that said I am eagerly awaiting getting my Blackbird

My $0.02: while not logging in for 20 days is abnormal, there's really not much else to do. If you've participated, you are protected by Paypal for 180 days, so there's no real merit to getting antsy and casting doubt, because even if said doubt is well-founded, it brings no benefit to the current situation. Just sit tight and wait for an update. Blind speculation is rarely helpful.

If this was Reddit I'd upvote the **** out of that post. As long as we are not getting close to the 180 days there is no reason to be upset.

I think at this current juncture in time, there is no need to panic, Elton has been MIA before for 1.5 months (after payment of OctagonV2 to just before the first batch shipped):

More

Furthermore, as LunarisDream mentioned, you are still protected by PayPal Protection for around the next 5 months, so there really is no need for panic until that time draws close.

Ivan spent the last few months reassuring everyone that everything was under control iirc. As long as you're within the PayPals 180 days, then there is nothing really to worry about, but it does matter depending on the vendor. Duck you can trust, never done anything negative with his buys. Some other vendors? Well you better hope they reply within a day otherwise it's cool to panic.

If Elton keeps the same pace as in the octagon GB we should have a post/statement from him in the next 10-15 days.

Duck is also in Korea and so is the factory...

This means...that 60 boards need to be individually wrapped, packed, and then sent out to Elton in Canada.

This then results in customs (time, generally a considerable amount). Then Elton has to check them, repack them so that they can to be sent out (to you), which likely results in more customs, well because the majority of us here are in the US.

So yeah, I can see that the Korean GB would get theres before the GH members. I also feel like I remember Elton saying the Korean GB finished up before the GH GB?
