Stop the Presses!!

Please note I am no longer able to accept any orders for the Light Artilleryman by Alan Ball. I've sold the master to another company and can no longer make any copies. Everyone that has placed an order up to today will have their order shipped. The new owner will make an announcement about its availablity when they are in production.
Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,
Re:the orders "placed up today" are they still coming from you or from this other unnamed company on their time table?

Hi Mike,
I am also a little in the dark by your comments here. As per Ric's question, are YOU shipping the order to those of us whom ordered from you (in good faith) and in a timely fashion or do for those of us whom ordered from you now have to wait for the unamed company and on their timetable? Your comment on this forum seems a little unclear

 

[IronMike]

Yes, I am shipping orders already placed. I hope to have them all out by Friday.

Thank you Mike. That is reassuring to hear. An email (once the parcels are in the mail) confirmation from you to all of your customers would be well recieved.

All the best!

As I read your comments I could not help but not feel that you're suggesting that Michael Roberts Ltd may be decieving you in some way. I think it's a bit reckless to jump to such a conclusion. If Mike were in the business of ripping people off he would have been out of business long ago. Please give the man the respect that his reputation deserves.~Gary

Gary:
I agree with you. I got the same feeling the post was a subtle insinuation that Mike was going to dodge his commitment. Wouldn't happen !

 

[el cid]

All is good guys. In no way was anyone suggesting deception nor dodging commitments. Sometimes in business communication can fall through the cracks and seeking clarification shouldn't ruffle feathers!! If I hadn't felt comfortable, I wouldn't have ordered the piece in the first place! I think Mike and his company is first class all the way, just so we are all on the same page here!!
Thanks again Mike,
Looking forward to the figure.

Gary,
I have been doing business with Mike before there was a Michael-Roberts Ltd and have always held him in high esteem and have always had great admiration for his products. I merely wanted clarification of his first post. I was NOT implying that there was anything untoward in the offing I only asked a question. Mike is one of the most honorable personages that I've ever met in all of my 31 years in this hobby. And he's not "Iron Mike" without reason.
