>>8668683You'll wanna remember this Michael Havens guy, because he's like a phantom boogeyman for Retroblasting.
Now, from what I can understand, Kim DM Simmons, a photographer for the Kenner Star Wars figures put together a kickstarter for a book with the help of another popular Star Wars fan and author named Justin Berger. This book itself was a collection of photos of vintage Star Wars toys all shot by him.
His Kickstarter-
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/manwhoshotskywalker/kenner-star-wars-photography-1980-1982His website-
http://www.themanwhoshotlukeskywalker.com/Chris Krahn, a friend of Retroblasting, who runs the website, "The Fans Strike Back," a repro website donates $3,000 toward the kickstarter to have his website put on the back of the book, so he can advertise it.
The website-
https://www.thefansstrikeback.com/When Kim Simmons finds out thru facebook that Krahn's site is essentially making bootlegs of official figures, he asks Krahn to take his money back, not wanting to get involved with any sort of drama. They tell him he can donate as an individual and have his personal name listed on the back of the book, but not his website, because they don't want to cause any controversy.
So, then Justin and Kim make a post on Facebook asking for the fan community to donate the missing $3,000, to which Michael Havens steps forward and offers to pay the $3,000, and says that he doesn't want anything in return. This of course pisses off Chris Krahn, since Michael Havens hates repro figures, so Krahn tries to threaten, blackmail, and intimidate Justin Berger and Kim Simmons into having his website put on the back of the book, saying that it goes against kickstarter policy to refuse his donation and that THEY HAVE TO PUT HIS WEBSITE NAME ON THE BACK OF THEIR BOOK, otherwise their kickstarer is a scam. Justin Berger then tells Chris to go fuck himself, and says that Kickstarter allows them to refund Krahn's donation after the campaign ends.
