Maybe Paul can offer you something else since you were just a day late?

Yeah that would be cool. Maybe a discount on the rifle. I have 3 of their products on order and I plan to order more.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Pauls original post:



There is no mention of limits at all, just the promise of a free rifle if you are a SF member.

10 days later he posted this.



But again no word on the time limit or when it expired.

I didn't order this sooner because I was transferring money from my investment account. That transfer was completed yesterday and I was ready to order.

To me this is like the tactics that Used Car Salesmen use. They advertise a certain model of car at a low price and then when you go in, they say, oh that was only for a limited time but we have this car over here. It's an old tactic called bait and switch.

Now I'm not accusing CC of doing that but I would think that they would honor their promise. Or at the very least offer us SF members that order the life size terminator to get some kind of discount on the rifle when it goes up for sale.
I just think this is a massive over reaction. If you are really ready to spend over $7,000 on an Endo replica... was the rifle added really THAT much of a deciding factor?

Give me a break.

Trying to compare this to a used car/bait-n-switch tactic is a stretch... Actually an insult.
Nowhere was this advertised, or guaranteed, or even 'promised'.

It was a generous offer for early customers. End of story.. I've you missed out.. Oh well.

I would have loved to take advantage of it, but I'm not crying over it.

Missing out on the rifle offer doesn't make me want this work of art any less or think that it was a 'BS offer' as you say.

Are you an idiot or just stupid? Did you not read the quote I posted from Paul. That is what you call a promise. A promise from the owner of the company.

And I am sorry but yes a $650 dollar gun is a nice incentive to order this. The problem is that once I order this and have to make payments I can't afford to buy the gun too.

And I don't think I am massively over-reacting. Ive seen guys on here miss a PO or statue and go ballistic. I'm not cursing or angry or yelling at anyone. And what the hell do you care? Are you the head cheerleader for this company?

I would hardly call CC's promotion of a free rifle gun bait and switch,and to call them a used car salesman is pretty low brow,furthermore resorting to name calling CallMeSnake just shows how much of class act you are
