Ok. I could be doing him a disservice.

So here we go:

I'm meeting a bunch of people in the bar later (after Dr Who) as I only live down the road from Nottingham (27 minutes in the car).

I'll be wearing an Art Is Resistance NiN shirt, and Oakland Raiders cap.

Come find me - prove me wrong, so the world that everyone has picked on poor little Mandelbonder.

I'll even apologise for doubting you!

Don't get your identity stolen

Did you check the registration for a Mr. Danthewsan Mandelbondsley?

Jason Martin and Kim Hernandez would be the other alleged owners, and who would be there.

Friend of mine just called me after getting home from HH weekend apparently FW had 10 Fulgrims to sell (not sure how much faith i have in that number but they had sold out by the time he got to the front and he was there at soon as it opened )

That sounds like an awfully low number considering how much advertisement they made...

I can't believe there were only 10 Fulgrims. There should have been about one per booked ticket.

That's a decent percentage that needs to be snapped up by a certain buyer.

as i say i am dubious on that number all i can say is they had sold out inside 30 mins of most limited releases

10 is pretty poor of GW if true. There's not much excuse for producing a volume of stock that small given how long they've been advertising the event and that people were expecting this model to be available at the event.

Well, FW are an arm of GW and therefore de facto the Devil Incarnate, but even so.

How many people went to this event?

Stands up with GW's normal "Look at all this limited edition stock" and taking it a bit too seriously and only making a small amount so they can claim it sold out within 10 minutes.

Back on topic though, if it really is a small amount I guess we should expect at least one or two people annoyed with RF. There's no way he could fill those orders with such a limited release.

I really don't believe there were only 10 Fulgrims, the net would have been swept away by a gakstorm by now (and I would have read it somewhere, too).

In any case there were no public statements what or if they (RF) obtained.

I must say, I have some doubts a few people will receive their models.

So, just to note, end of the day, and Resin Forge have posted absolutely no pics from the event, nor confirmed getting any Fulgrims whatsoever, correct?

So, I am wondering when they are going to spin the fact none of the 'partners' actually went, and then blame that on us. Maybe that PR person they hired full time on Monday but who hasn't done anything will handle it lol.

I imagine some positive testimonials from people getting their Fulgrim's will appear from RF customers soon.

Yep.

He can't. Just yesterday and today he was publicly agrreing to buy the minis from people on his page (friends, customers, fans whatever). No involvement from outside then.

Well, huh? I'm really surprised by that Major Tom? Maybe they're having camera trouble?

To be fair: not everybody has constant internet connection. Especially for American cell phones I assume.

But he promised... lol

True, but last I heard Dallas wasn't having cell phone trouble?
Surely he should be able to post live pics, via Dallas? Isn't this the point for glasses to show up?

As ubiquitous as smart phones are these days and I assume that wifi exists in the UK....

Just got back.

Had a good couple of hours with the lucky feckers from my group who went (I had a previous appointment at an arms fair today which I arranged prior to the weekender being announced).

Only the one (out of four) got a Fulgrim, but don't read into that as only he and I do Emperors Children (and I've enough to be painting with my new UM project and so didn't even order one). There were 'limited' numbers, but no one put an actual number out.

Spent the evening in the bar, chatted to quite a few, but strangely, not one American who admitted to being in any way affiliated with RF. A couple laughed at the suggestion, knowing why I asked, but all flatly denied it. I didn't speak to or hear any female American voices, so can't confirm 'Kim' being either a) female or b) present.

Of course, it's not a scientific approach, and I'm sure DanDave MandleBonder will have a plausible excuse, but, on the face of it, I would, if pushed have to say:
He's a liar. I've called his bluff and he has been found wanting.

Also of interest - I could find NOONE who either admitted to or, wanted to sell a Fulgrim - not even when offered extra over the £55 quid price tag....
Now to wait...

Bloody marvellous WiFi at the Belfry.

In fact, a pits faster in the lobby than most public networks I've used.

Well, maybe they were packing their loot into the luggages and didn't have time to come to the bar?

Could well be the case!

As I said, it proves very little, and I'm sure RF will be able to prove us all wrong with copious pictures taken by themselves, after all, who doesn't go to a foreign country and take loads of holiday snaps?

I don't. I took about 2 photos when I went to Germany on a school trip, and they were both trains.

I guess I'm different then - I had to buy extra me,org cards last time I went to NYC!

Just in case anyone has forgotten why I challenged Raf over whether he/they were there - taken from his/their facebook page:
Due to only 2 co owners of Resin Forge Store going to the HH Weekend Event, we will be limited to how much we can bring back as carry on (much cheaper then shipping and MUCH MUCH quicker so it can get to you.) (fear not , both owners are taking very large suitcases and very little cloths!).

Because of this, space is running out custom requests for Fulgim or any of the new sets that will be released. Its coming down to first come, first serve! Simply send us a PM here or email us directly.

Well, I for one appreciate the "hard work" you put in at the BAR!!!!

Seriously Art, I do really appreciate taking the time to keep us updated and holding RF's feet to the fire on their promises!
And a big thanks for joining us here in the land of the (semi)sane at Dakka! Don't let Manballsfondlerbuam be the only reason to hang out!

I'm actually looking forward to how they spin this. My money's on blaming Lex ninjas again, dakka ninjas, or blaming art and pulling it out of context saying his pub call out was a "death threat" and they didn't want to come face the big mean bully in the UK or some gak.

Agreed. On all speculations as well. Sadly, whatever the excuse is, it'll be lame, make no sense and he'll just expect his loyal followers to believe him or be labeled as a troll.

And I do believe depending on the day of the week, and time, the combination of a NIN Tee, with a Raiders ball cap is a nonverbal death threat.....
(No, not really)
