I believe it may be in response to the board errors displaying (no message) for everyone's posts - the whole thread made no sense. It's happening intermittently.

In their defense, this seller has an excellent rating. It seems pretty severe and unfair to attack them for a minor thing like the pictures. Do you have any first hand knowledge of the quality of their costumes? Do you know anyone who has been burned by them?

Oh come on! How many people are willing to give Negative or Neutral Feedback? The items might arrive late or wasn't exactly as promised or look like in the picture or the postal is actually a LOT lower but the moment one received the item intact, you're just relieved to get it and not see the faults till later.
Anyhow, what is wrong is wrong. They are already in the wrong as not only in using those Fan photos without permission, especially that they NEVER made the costume depicted in the pictures in the first place or able to make it EXACTLY the same; but also to Watermark it as their own.  You think each of us who went through days, weeks, months or even years slaved away to the making of our costumes or armor like being used that way; to have our items said to be made by them or our photos used for their profits?
Dun tell me it's hard to find a picture of Han Solo or Luke Skywalker or Leia etc online?
Maybe cause you never go through it or get burned in such way, that's why you don't understand.

I must have hit pretty close to the mark to get you all riled up like that. That was not my intention.
You failed to answer my questions:
Do you have any first hand knowledge of the quality of their costumes?
Do you know anyone who has been burned by them?

IMHO, since my photos were used, using pictures of my costumes is not minor. In fact, it is illegal and that is why I was able to have them removed so quickly once I got home from my trip. Maybe their quality is OK... it is a mystery since they choose not to show pictures of their own work. I will say that they have misrepresented their items because they are not selling 'my' clothing items that *I* made. Their patterns, construction, and quality (better, worse, who knows...) will vary and they should be using pictures of their own work and not showing a photo of something they clearly can not be selling because it is sitting in my closet.  This is why buyers should at the very least "beware" of this seller.
