Well, kinda like VF said. I don\'t mind waiting, actually to some extent if I know the person I almost like waiting cuz it gives me something to look forward to.
For example with my X Hockey Mask I\'ve been waiting over a year, I haven\'t hounded Cyc, cuz Cyc doesn\'t reply to emails. But the Corpseguy, the other guy who works for Triox does. So I\'ve talked to him a number of times and been very polite with him and he\'s been very polite with me and he assures me I will get my Hockey Mask. I really have no choice but to believe him. Only issues I have with that are when I ordered it was told I\'d have it really fast, then after I payed I couldn\'t get ahold of them anymore. Idk, waiting is just part of the hobby I guess. Pretty much everything I\'ve ever ordered I had to wait a really long time to get. A year for gloves, a year for hockey masks. Fastest turnaround I\'ve seen has been Myers masks from CGP or from JitB, or T SHirts from Fright-Rags. Hell, I ordered 3 shirts from another horror shirt company a loooong time ago and am still waiting on 2 of them. So from now on I only order shirts from Fright-Rags.
Idk, waiting is just part of the hobby. If you don\'t have anything going on in your life and all day you\'re thinking about the mask you ordered, I guess it\'d drive you nuts. I just order what I want and then try to stay busy and forget about it. Sometimes I have to actively think hard to try and remember all the stuff I have on order. If you really want the product and you know there will be a wait because other people are ahead of you, that\'s just the way it is.
Personally I stopped taking orders for my own replicas because I already have almost 10 orders to fill and I don\'t want anymore people waiting in line. These orders weigh on you, you actually do stress over them and wanting to get people there stuff. At least I do.
I don\'t know how Mike seems to make so many great looking hockey masks so fast. He must have a hell of a system worked out. That or he\'s got a garage full of chained together child labor, lol.
anyway, waitings just the name of the game.
