Lash,

I can understand your frustration with Steve. He has no real website to speak of that is kept up to date. He's a bit old skool. He would rather talk on the phone. I think for him it's a way to connect and build a relationship. He is a bit more expensive as well.

I have found the easiest way to work with him is to send him pictures of what you're looking for and ask if he has any on hand. He's not terribly great with all the names of each toy as you have noticed.

A week after I sent him my list with pics, he emailed me back saying that he had found a blue GID skullwing from a contact in Japan and that he would have it shipped over. He could have sold it on eBay for probably $50 more, but he knew I was looking for it. For that gesture, I am grateful.

Steve is also an advertiser for S7 so he helps to keep the magazine we cherish going. Guys like Brian Flynn and Mark Nagata and maybe other board members have purchased Kaiju from Steve over the years to build their collection since he's been around for so long.

He's been good to me. I'm sorry your experience was not the same. :D

Steve is a really good guy. I got a GID blue skullwing off of him a long time ago for a good price. When Ive emailed him about something he usually came back a couple days later. Sorry things arent working at. They will soon.

Ok maybe I'm jumping the gun with the guy and will give him the beneit of the doubt.Maybe he was having a bad day ...who knows...

But reguardless there was no need to be a dick about it....

I was very nice in my emails and never once said anything either rude or disresecptfull. All I asked was for him to mail me a list of what he had SB and RXH wise with prices and pics if he had any.

I wasnt demanding anything or acting like I knew it all.

Actually what I had in mind was we wouldnt have to go through the back and fouth emails if he just shot me one big list.

But whatever now....
