Trooper6313 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I bought this backpack from James Ross My link It took like 9 months to get it and I have never heard in my life so many stories about why it took so long time. I paid 300 US dollar for the sh.. he send me + shipping to Sweden. Now I have to buy stuff to try to remake the backpack as good as I can. On the picture the "hamburger stack" is off that "he" made. I hade to buy a cistern from Singapore that is more movie accurate. A real "rip off". Just a big warning to everybody for this liar and bad bad boy Ross. Look at the pictures. Look at the radioplate and you will guffaw. My link My link My link My link My link My link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes now I have got a cistern from Singapore and I also did get a very good radioplate from a trooper here at MEPD. He also did say that he was going to pay for the shipping because of the big delay - but did he,NO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supa troop Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 is that anything that can be done to help this guy at least get some of his money back, that is just disgusting how you have been treated. My sons mini back pack is far superior to that but having said that it was built here buy the best. oh man this sucks ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supa troop Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 well i did a quick search for you and it seems this guy has been given a TD id and is also a member of the 501st, however it does say his name is classified my bet is its the same person get in touch with his Garrison Commander 501st Legion - Member Search Results 1 record(s) found for 8733 in the category of tkid TKID Name Nickname Garrison TD 8733 Classified Record Garrison Tyranus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper6313 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Wow. That really sucks. Did you find him from mepd? No, I did not find him in MEPD. I googled for backpacks. Yes it realy f***** me up for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarbucket Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I was kicking around the idea of getting a pack from him (this was before Dirty Boy and Quartermaster entered the picture) I felt the price was steep and opted for Crashmann's kit and built mine on my own.Sorry you had a bad experience-you really expect better treatment from a Trooper Brother. I just checked the pics-that is bad! Quartermaster did a pack for someone overseas and managed to do it in two pieces (that screwed together) to save on shipping. I have seen his packs and they are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Man, that is horrible. I'm so sorry! :\ All I can find of TD-8733 is that his information is private on the 501st. Did you PayPal him? I think I'd try and get a refund... something... that is ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonator Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 For $400 I would expect something of good quality. And to wait 9 months for it?? But all is not lost brother, I do see some parts that can be reuse. Namely, 1) Frame, is it bend to the correct angle? 2) Mortar tube and Radar dish 3) mushroom cap and blue bottle, though the bottle need to be cut shorter 4) Filter Since you already gotten a cistern from me and raido faceplate from someone, you only need accurate seed trays now right? If you ever need a Thermal Detonator control panel plate I have a trimmed one lying around can sell you at "cost" price if you ever need it. Just let me know.

Pappy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you want to build the 'filter' pack like the one you received was intended,i had a tupperware 'stow n go' if you want,you just need to cover the actual shipping cost,LMK bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Holy cow! I'm speechless. I wish you would have found Dirty Boy or myself before you ordered with this guy. I hope you can recoup some of your $ through Paypal. Like Dirty Boy and others have stated, feel free to contact me if I can help you out with reworking that pack. I'd be happy to help out.
