You Maverick! See what I did there

You silly Goose

 

[samdavies]

FS shipped. That was a quicker recovery than expected!

 

[astycorax]

Any chance of a re-stocking here? Missed out on the DL-A

 

[Flloydo]

DL A also shipped. Fingers crossed this turns out better in hand than the mock ups. I’m preparing for disappointment though

You crazy cossack, you make me laugh (almost every time)....
I bet you're just waiting for the moment to use this gif.

Yet, I meant it, I could not get ANY of the Manta's for so long time now...

That's OK, I completely forgot about Top Gun the other Friday, for example, and when I do remember, I usually don't get anything.
This particular release I couldn't miss, so ordered through a GB, but somehow managed to buy a DL-A directly as well (for a friend), which was available for a while, in Manta's terms.

So, which GB would that be?
OBVIOUSLY Maverick was also one that I did not wanted to miss, but went on Collectong website one hour later, due to an error of time-zone calculation.
Therefore, unless that GB you mention is not on a specific website I was member but had to leave with only bad feelings, or an facebook related, I NEED TO KNOW about it, PLEASE!

Thanks mate, got it,

As much as I would want some of those editions I missed, I do not have too much confidence in his GB's, to be honest, since I still have message sent to him from 2022 which is not read even today... and if the communication goes this way, I'm afraid to thing about how the shipping/GB is/works.
Maybe I will try something with him, but since he is in UK and UK no longer in EU, I believe this would cost much more, with double shipping and (unavoidable) customs fees.

I have no real experience with contacting him privately (never had a need to), although he did reach out to me through Facebook once to update me on an order that I wasn't even aware was delayed lol, but then never read nor responded to my reply where I thanked him etc, which is fine, but just saying. I can only assume he must get hounded with messages through all the various channels though. However, he does respond to comments on their FB group. As far as his GBs go, they're some of the cheapest and smoothest group buys I've ever taken part in... the items always arrive pretty quickly (as far as GBs go) and are very well packed. He even helped me out with the American Psycho full slip that a certain other GB host (*cough* KOSM *cough*) let many of us down with. I personally couldn't recommend him (Triggers) enough!

In all fairness to mark he gets absolutely hounded with direct messages. The GB is ontop of a very busy job, with long hours, and a family with young..ish kids. He's typically quite good at responding to me, but I have been buying from him regularly for like 6/7 years. If you join a gb in the prescribed way, and not just pm him, it all runs smoothly, so I wouldn't worry about that.

How you know all about his private life?

 

[samdavies]

Because he communicates it lol

 

[djjez83]

triggers/mark T is absolutely solid, i've been using him for group buys for many many years. As sam said above, he's just extremely busy with work and family and it's difficult to get a hold of him sometimes in PM but he does eventually get back to me.

Thanks @samdavies!

Your shared experiences and details, make me rethink this and I'm thinking to try one of his GB's or even purchasing from his website (if not too expensive).

Appreciated all your inputs!
