That's one of Either a inky or Loken's photos.

They are from Warpaintstudios (again not credited) - I already posted them yesterday on the Lex.

Ah! Cheers - my mistake.

Can these people issue DMCA takedowns of their photos being shown on his site?

This Mandelbonder character is starting to remind me of John Cusack in 'Identity'.

There, got that for you.

I was thinking more Leonardo Dicaprio in Catch me if you Can, only without the Money, Girls and success. Aerethan is being played by Tom Hanks and I'm played by Christopher Walken. In a late change Steve Buscemi will be playing Bondelbaum.

That's fairly insulting to Steve Buscemi.

Why would they be interested in doing that?

There's a thread on Dakka about it, I assumed this was the Total Wargamer site that had been advertised on the Overlords Podcast, most likely not Mandelbaum related

Yeah, they are also UK based as I see and "just" seem to be not very good at delivering orders in time. So as you said, obviously unrelated.

Careful, you're on track for a C&D regarding your opinion of Mandelbauer's looks.

The whole situation reminds me of a bad "Catfish" episode. I begin to wonder if it's even about the money for him anymore, or if he's more about the thrill from using multiple aliases, and weaving convoluted stories.

After seeing several Catfish episodes... I'm fairly certain this is a good episode

maybe he just got someone to place an order for him. Normally at these FW events, you can order any amount of the stuff they have, I myself had someone place a $600 order for me including two fulgrims.
Not meaning to take his side, just saying.

But if you've ordered from FW at events, they don't turn around, call the FW HQ, and say, "hey blingman wants 2 Fulgrims, a Titan and some arms, ship that out will ya?" They wait until after the show, and process the order as normal. And models/books that were preordered go out days, not weeks or so before the normal release date. I ordered IA 12 at AdeptiCon (April 19th was when I ordered it), and it didn't get shipped out for a week and a half, and just showed up last week). So that would mean that Mandelbaum is going to have to wait about a month before he can even think of shipping them out to customers. NOW If he wanted to save some face, and take orders, and have them shipped to customers then he could have, but this wasn't the case.

Fairly played Probably the best episode ever...

Guys, you are once again straying into idle chatter and dramatizing things. We don't need the name calling nor the off-topic chatter.

The facts speak for themselves and that is all we need.

Put yourselves in the shoes of a new reader, do you think they will take this thread as seriously as they need to based on the tone and language you guys are using?

No. So please, take the chit-chat elsewhere and take things seriously.

Thank you.

Is there a possibility to that we can get the thread stickied somewhere? I think most of the OT talk is coming due to the fact that there have not been any major developments.So, the thread will bob near the middle or bottom of the first page, and the less hits it gets when you google ResinForge (4th down) or Resin Forge (6th down) will mean that less people are going to find the thread in general. A sticky will help keep it near the top, and some swift moderation about deleting off topic posts will keep it from getting too out of hand.

The only "development" is that RF highly publicized their preorders for Fulgrim, they used to show pics of every order they got from FW, and since then they have stopped talking about business at all. No update on how many fulgrims they got, when they will ship, nothing.

No official pics of the people they allegedly sent there, no eye witness accounts of any RF people at the HH weekend.

I imagine the house of cards is about to get high winds.

I've been banned from their Facebook page for being honest, and asking an honest question.

Dreamakuma - I missed that!
What did you ask? He's already deleted the comment...

care to elaborate on that?

My guess is when Forgeworld releases them for general sale.

I've deleted some off topic and spammy posts. Please stay on topic and don't post unless you've got something new to add. Thanks.

Today:

Resin Forge Store
10:41am (50 minutes ago)
Despite the rumors that seem to keep spreading, we are not closing down, we are not having a fire sale, and we most certainly wont be chased away.

A huge thank you to all of our loyal customers!

Keep on converting!

(It goes without saying, if you aren't a customer, there really is no reason for you to post in this thread.)

Guys, these updates on what Resin Forge put on their Facebook pages are pointless and off topic.

People who want to read the page are encouraged to go and read it.

Since they constitute RF's only way of communication and in most cases directly address points raised here in this very thread I do not share your opinion. This post for example postulates clearly that they are still in business as of date of today. Therefore contradicting diverse people's opinions in this very thread. Just my 2 cents

Not that I make the rules, but don't entirely agree with this. Reading RF's Facebook page is an option, but he/they seem to delete posts from it with some frequency. Assuming that the Facebook quote is actually on-topic (and, heck, I agree with Inq S. that the previous one was pretty on-topic,) it seems reasonable to put it in this thread. It could be gone faster than a 50% off Cryx Kraken.

I wasn't able to snapshot it in time. But put out the opinion That the other two "owners" should at the very least clear up the confusion and either distance their business from Mr. Mandelbaum, if only based on reputation and alleged misdeeds, or at least have tact and understanding in why people have such anger. Instead of addressing it as "drama" understand that he has some serious allegations against him that is hurting their very own investment. Note, I'm not threatening, Defaming, or even bashing. only looking at the business sense of it.

I then asked how things were at the HH weekender.
