    I sent him a PM requesting an order for the back cannons earlier this week. I haven't heard back from him either. I'm sure the guy is busy due to demand. Then again, this is the first time I'm dealing with him.

    I think the way that he operates is when you put in a request, he puts you on a list. Then he produces the item and lets you know when he is ready to ship.

    My guess is that he doesn't respond too often since he has a lot of PM's and other things he does.

    That makes sense. If this thread is any indication, he's most likely knee-deep in orders/requests. I'm sure the wait is worth it :)

    I've already paid (a looong time ago) but no updates quite a while. A weekly one liner would suffice in this forum.

    I finally received the goods. Worth the wait it turns out.

    The weight of each item was much more than I expected. They feel very solid

    Recommended indeed.

    I dunno man, I PM'd him a request months ago and never heard anything.

    Such a shame, as I really wanted those Bruticus cannons, ah well.

    Good to hear that he's shipping. I'm still waiting for my chance.

    I think, judging with hindsight, this is just one person doing it all.

    I think it is. I think it's more of a labor of love than a full time job. So I think that's why people cut him some slack.

    Received my bruticus and Defensor cannons a couple of weeks ago and they are quite nice. As you can see in the pictures, if you want to display bruticus in any type of fan mode, onslaught's arms may need to be manipulated in a manner other than the default position. 20161121_022152.jpg 20161121_022002.jpg 20161121_021916.jpg

    Is Froggy still making these? Or shipping them? I requested two sets, one in each color, but I never heard back.

    Yes he is shipping them. I had not heard from him in a while so I shot him a message on Facebook and he sent them out a couple days later. I believe he produces them in batches then ships them out all at once. He's got great communication but I'm sure with everyday life, he might not respond immediately.

    I ordered parts but he never requested payment. So it's not like I'm out anything, but I'd like to go ahead and order them.
