Wow didn't expect for this to gain any traction. I do my best to stay off FB (7+ years running) so thats good to know. Thanks for not roasting me about having the wrong artists name. I'll see if I can edit it to Burgos. Still peeved their contact information i.e. one email address, doesn't seem to go anywhere. I'll get on my GFs account and find them on Facebook. Vandelay should have been my first red flag...

Reminds me of when back in the day they used to put disclaimers on shittily mastered CDs: "don't blame us if this sounds terrible b/c analog tapes have limits!"
just a foil for me today, thanks

Leia kind of looks a little Mann-ish, amirite?

If you search FB for a group called Commission Reviews you'll see feedback on the output/experience of the projects that this commissioner handles. Spoiler alert: There aren't a lot of positive things to be said about his projects.

Got my shipping notification on the Pulp Fiction variant. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I'd be interested to know how the Pulp Fiction variant turns out, had my eye on it today and nearly bit were it not for this post.
