This looks like a cool site for props and acessories. www.theproppalace.com/Has anyone ever dealt with them? I am asking because someone I know has a Han blaster from Master Replicas and wants to buy a reasonably priced holster from them. If not, any ideas on where to find one? |

Never Never Ever buy anything from Prop Palace or a guy named Seti1, both are the same individual
***edited***
Very few i have talked to actually get what they ordered!

There is alot of controversy regarding the Prop Palace. Some people have ordered items and received them just fine, others haven't...I was just looking around for a thread I've read that contains lots of information about this whole thing, but couldn't remember where to find it. Anyways, if you search on various popular prop boards like ASAP, the RPF, TDH, etc, you'll find lots of info about them.
Buy at your own risk....as I said, some people have received their ordered items fine, some haven't. Some people were pleased with the quality....others found them totally inaccurate and poor quality. *shrugs*

I am a day late and a dollar short on this one...
I ordered a Jedi belt from Prop Palace...it took a long time to get...but it came....
I didn't think much of the quality or the leather...I ended up finding a leather maker in a near-by town...when I had him do my boots...he also ended up making me a belt that was much better than the Prop Palace belt...I sold the Prop Palace belt on e-bay....

Well, you know what they say about the "buyer beware" rule........
About the blaster holster-- I have actually made a holster once, but what made this distinctive is that I had taken the "item", and moistened the leather....well, soaked it. Then I had wrapped the object in question in a baggie or something plastic, clamped the leather together while "molding" it. Leave it overnight, and the leather will take upon the shape and retain this permanently. Good luck sewing the leather, because it'll be really challenging for a thicker grade, but does it really look great.
Make sure the pattern is large enough to include the scope.

Oh yes-- you can pick up the leather at Tandy or the Leather Factory. Probably more local options if you look in the yellow pages. Best to go to the store yourself so you best determine what suits you best.

Well, I might have got tricked there... I ordered a belt and pouches a while ago, but had no reply for a month. I had had a look around and people said that it was good or acceptable. At the time I didn't not find negative remarks. The site does say 6 to 8 weeks, so I still hope to be one of those who receive something.
I recommend not to order from them, they don't seem reliable at all. Corja

You know I really think, just for the sake of the new people and the not knowledgable people that we should have a stuck topic on bad dealers maybe?

Let me go look - I have pics of a prototype holster I was working on..........Does it have to be dead on movie accurate? Dave Found it:   I used my Han ANH Hero Blaster when I made this - it is a Denix based gun |

Yes Primrodo I think that a thread on bad dealers is a good idea...Its never too late.

A bad dealers thread? Let me run it by the Council. I suppose bad feedback is part of the risk you take.

As long as one states only the facts....a bad dealer "experience" thread would probably be a good idea......
one's own experience could hardly be something to sue about...but stay away from other accusations and state only the facts on how your transaction was handled and what your feelings are about the final product..
....and btw...I e-mailed Prop Palace last week about the Han Solo blaster (I no longer was seeing it on their website)....I have not yet got a reply...I was thinking about getting one for my Smuggler character.....
so....now....even if I do get a reply....I doubt that I would deal with them because they don't answer their e-mails
