Great idea Feliz!<br><br> I did end up finding another E-11. I ended up buying a BlasterMaster 3D printed one. It will be tedious smoothing out the print lines, but everything was perfect and it should assemble well. I ended up getting the electronics kit for light and sound too. I may end up getting a Hyperfirm as well for trooping, not sure how the BlasterMaster one will hold up if I dropped it.<br> I ended up getting a DL-44 kit from BlasterMaster as well and I love it! Ray was a great guy to work with both times and I will likely purchase my F-11 for my FOST from him as well.

Just wanted to send out an update... since my defective product was conveniently shipped out seven months past the original purchase date, it is unlikely PayPal will issue a refund as it is past their 45 day policy. His Etsy store is closed, so Etsy will likely not pursue. I sent him an IM a month ago when I received the nightmare E-11 and he did not respond. I sent him an IM last night asking again for a refund.<br> His response? "You'll get a refund when I have funds to give you a refund." I thought I'd give this guy a chance, but that response is unacceptable. I have an appointment with my attorney today to see if it's worth it to pursue this in small claims, especially since he's not in my state. The fact that this guy treats his customers like garbage, stringing them along form months with excuses of blizzards, illnesses, lost packages, etc. and then ships defective product points out he's nothing but a scam artist.<br> AND then he's still selling on Facebook! Right now he's selling BSG props for $200, hopefully he will get one person to buy one and then he can give me my $205.<br> Sorry to vent guys, it's really frustrating. I did nothing wrong. I paid the same day I purchased the product. I was patient. I was respectful in my communications asking for updates. The only mistake I made was purchasing something from THG props. ☹️

I just received my E-11 from THG today after 6 months of waiting... I share duckie's sentiments (and the original poster!)-nearly every piece is riddled with bubbles and holes. The folding stock is missing the end due to a large bubble so the stock won't even be functional. I could go on and on with the issues. I paid close to $200 for this and it is nowhere near what it was advertised on Etsy. I PMd THG pointing out all of the issues and so far no response. I too will chalk this up as a waste of time and money. I was really excited about purchasing a kit as I love prop replicas, costumes, and studio scale models. Could I make this into a nice prop? Sure. But the time and extra materials won't be worth it. The time bugs me the most- the amount I would have to put into it wouldn't make it fun anymore. If anyone has any suggestions for another E-11 vendor, I would appreciate it. Also looking for First Order Stormtrooper weapon vendors as well!
