What happened to Deadlands?!?!?!?!
« on: 18 September 2010, 11:18:25 PM »
The Jim Valent site is down, with no reason why! Anyone know whats up, or where else to get Deadlands minis?
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

That's alright, when the site was up it was well-nigh impossible to get figures out of the guy...  ::)

Jim? Are you referring to Jeff Valent Studios? If so dont know what the issue your having, but his site is working fine.

Really? Never had a problem. Always returns my emails, usually same day. Maybe your doing something wrong?  :-)

This works for me, but you might not get the figures

I know some one got them at a convention!

Why do I keep hearing this? Is the service that bad?

For me I have only even bought at conventions, I was just refering to the rest of the site as it seemed to be down so I wondered if the "basket" would work or not.

The last time I ordered from Jeff Valent the figures took about 4 months to arrive. I wasn't in a rush for them so it wasn't a problem for me.
Don't!

4 months is taking the fine line between something not good and something atrocious. Were you kept informed? I know a friend had a heck of a time getting fantasy stuff out of him. Does he have a 'real' job that gets in the way?

I was on his case but he certainly didn't keep me informed. When I placed the order the general consensus was you got your stuff but would have a long wait so I waited and eventually it arrived. Maybe he waits for a certain number of orders to arrive before casting figs, that's pure specualtion on my part though.

Again, this is indeed speculation.

If accurate then it is inappropriate to delay orders IMO.  Again, this is indeed speculation.

But then I have only bought from him once that I recall and it went well if not "GZG-Wormhole" speed.

I have ordered from him numerous times, and NEVER had a problem.

Always very quick and well packed.
I don't remember any communications, but then I think it was never needed.

It constantly amazes me that some manufacturers have a totally good or totally bad reputation and others are so widely different in user perceptions.
