    Hey Richard, I REALLY appreciate you doing this video my friend.
    People need to be made aware of their terrible business, its disgusting what they have done with all the customers well earned money. I really hope this comes to an end soon, and we can all go back to enjoying the hobby without the stress Chris Krahn and his side-kicks have caused.
    Chris (Stan Solo) 👊🏽 💥

      I got my 2022 Iconicon Boba Fett and it is the Absolute Best custom figure I have ever seen or held. I got the carded and loose version. I cannot stop looking at it . Such a professional job on it and the vac metal finish is out of this world.

    Richard, Thank You for this video. I am thrilled to see that you still had proof that these were a PRE-ORDER and not a crowd funding project. Too many fans have been financially hurt by this company.
    You are also dead on correct for calling them out for selling figures on etsy that were part of the 13 line. Those figures should be going to the customers that have already paid for them.

    Thank you for sharing your story Richard. It’s been a very long ordeal. I too am out money on the 13 figures. I was also removed from their FB group must be over a year ago now. Stick with Stan Solo and you’ll never be disappointed. Those first few figures you received (Han trooper,blue snag and droids R2) were all designed and produced by Chris Smith prior to him starting up Stan Solo that’s why those figures impressed you and gave you the confidence to order the 13. There are many of us in this same situation. Hang in there and keep collecting.

    I placed in an order with TFSB in 2019 for a Bantha, a loose 13, and a carded 13, basically $1000 that I might has well lit on fire and thrown out the window. Three years later, I have received nothing. Thank you for posting this video and telling your story!

    Hi Richard, hindsight is wonderful isn’t it, this right here is why I rarely get involved with fan figure companies (I have ordered figures from Stan solo and they always arrive no problem, the only fan company I’m happy to deal with) but never used any other fan companies with crazy pre orders like this because I always have these suspicions, they have simply stolen yours and other peoples money, there’s no other words for it! I’m so sorry this has happened to you.
    Plus the responses you receive are a disgrace when you are a paying customer, do you think he’d be so snarky in his responses if he was in a room with all the people he’s stolen from? Easy to be clever behind the safety of your keyboard, I really hope you get some kind of satisfactory solution my friend 🙏

    As bad as the situation of never getting our product is, Krahn makes it worse with this responses to paying customers. He will constantly defect any direct question you ask him to some other trivial point you made. He has been caught lying on countless occasions but will still insist that he never did, which itself is another lie. Our money is 100% gone.

    Thank you Richard for streaming this video.
    To all those thinking and sharing they didn't get caught up by the scam, we don't want to hear about it; just stop buying or consider buying TFSB crap on Etsy. We need Krahn to stop swindling more people and/or reselling stuff that has been paid for by us original customers and for Krahn to disappear from the hobby completely never to return, so legit people like those at Stan Solo can continue strong delivering their products without TFSB making their lives impossible.
    And those ranting about legal action, if you are not a lawyer willing to take the case stop expressing your opinion, it is something that has already been thought of long ago and there's no recourse, our fault is to have believed in the lies of the scammer and to put our faith wrongly on him to deliver, way beyond the consumer rights that would have otherwise provided us with refunds, you are unnecessarily just adding discomfort to a sore spot.

I'm out of pocket too on these and if there was some place I could join up to make some kind of difference it would be something to keep this fresh in people's minds. We need lawyers who are devoted fans to step up and do some representing. I don't doubt karma will catch up with these people, but that they're still getting away with it with complete radio silence is wholly enraging. Thanks for speaking up.

This is where a complaint at the Better Business Bureau is in order, if his company is even listed. Fortunately, I have a distrust about most businesses not to mention the government (don't get me started on the covid shot - notice I did not use the word vaccine), as well as a limited budget and did not plunk down money for his figures. On the flip side, I also have missed out on some cool Haslab ships for the very same reason. I think you have been patient long enough to justify putting out this video. Stan Solo does produce high quality figures and I own quite a few of them. Thanks for keeping us collectors informed.

    Hello Richard, Thank you for sharing this video. Both I & my buddy Sam are still waiting on our 12 figures each & 2 Banthas. We both ordered them in box & carded. Together we are $1,600.00 in the hole from this guy. I'm just wondering if he thinks he's going to really get away with ripping off customers. Seems to me his day is comming. Carma is bad but Dogma is worse. Chris will get his in the end. If he does finally ship our product, he will loose all credibility with the fans. My buddy & I will never order from this BAD PERSON again. Have a Great day! & May the collecting force be with you!

    • @StarWarsObsessed
      @StarWarsObsessed  ปีที่แล้ว

      You're so lucky. One of the main reasons people haven't sued is that it would be a civil lawsuit and to do that people would have to go to the state where the fan strike back runs their business and that would be costly in itself. The airfare and probably hotel stay would cost more than getting the money back.

    Richard? Retroblasting tried ordering a Bantha from someone and StanSolo made one that is better, and i think Stan Solo on etsy might have used to work with the Fans strike back, but there might have been a falling out , right after that 13 wave was annouced, maybe he was doing all the work and wasn't happy that they announced that package? i don't know, that is all speculation on my part. but his etsy page always delivers.

    • @StarWarsObsessed
      @StarWarsObsessed  ปีที่แล้ว

      You're right about the split with Stan solo and the fans strike back for the most part. Chris of Stan solo knew of the 13 figures and knew they could not be finished in the time span that the fan strike back had announced that is one of the reasons why he split. Yes Stan solo always delivers on high quality products 😀👍🏻 thank you for watching 😊

  • @zeppie1138
    @zeppie1138 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hello all,
    NOW IT IS REALLY TIME FOR THE FANS TO STRIKE BACK!!!
    I had made a couple of posts here and on other similar videos on YT regarding a way to try and recoup the money spent on these 13 figures from TFSB. I had provided hints, but I did not want to fully disclose anything before I knew it had more than a good chance to work. So, despite getting attacked right out of the gate by (RetroBlasting's) Mike's watchdog yesterday, I will still try to help any of those who care to read on.
    Please note that this idea will only work, if those turds at TFSB ended up sending you either Han in stormtrooper disguise, or preferably Grand Admiral Thrawn.
    I am not certain how many of those figures were actually sent out to customers, but after I made enough of the proper "stink" to Krahn back sometime in 2021, he did end up sending me the Trawn figure. Which by the way, based on the quality of the figure itself; it was obviously produced by Stan Solo prior to him selling his stake of the company, and not the Krahn led TFSB. Although the cardback is labeled as Smith Lord Creations.
    Anyways, I started thinking that with the new Ahsoka show less than a month away, and the fact that this will be Thrawn's introduction in a live action series; as well as, no retro style Thrawn figures are currently available... I started to research on Ebay. First, I found a loose version of this Thrawn figure going for $200. Next, I saw that a carded example sold for almost $250 about a month ago.
    So I thought to myself, what do I have to lose at this point, and why not try and sell this Thrawn figure for the same amount I paid for the full 13 figure line? Not to mention that every time that I look at this figure, I am reminded of getting ripped off by TFSB.
    Well my friends, I listed my TFSB Thrawn carded figure two nights ago for $437.48. Within an hour of posting, I had 13 page views and an offer of $400.
    In the spirit of not wanting to press my luck too much with this situation, I accepted the $400 offer last night.
    Han stormy may not command such a high price, but something is better than nothing.
    Good luck all, and I truly hope you have as much success, if not more than I did.
