"The Dial Dude" Topic

Does anyone know what happened to "The Dial Dude". I placed an order on the 14th of July and sent payment. I have received no products. I have also emailed him several times and have received no response whatsoever. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm awaiting an order as well. I contacted him last week, via the form on his website, and he replied the order was being sorted

hmmmm can't say about of late but on the occassions I have ordered, replies were sometimes be late, delivery has for me always been prompt though.

I haven't done any business with him yet, but I seem to remember him posting here some time ago that he was recently diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes, and that he was adjusting to his new lifestyle. Hopefully, everything's well with his health.

Every time I look to consider an order, it seems that things are Out of Stock or change in format. Does he keep enough on hand to answer orders?

Maybe he's on vacation.

He was supposed to be making Hail Caesar dials for me but I have not heard from him for 3 weeks.

Me too! An outstanding order from early July. I did get an email about a week ago saying he was looking into it, but nothing since then.

My impression is that he has been overwhelmed by his success. It sounds like many of his orders are in large quantities and it has been hard for him to keep up. But my experience with him has been good and I think his dials are great. Well worth the wait IMO.

Yes, very happy with mine and promptly delivered (by Australian standards…)

Mine finally arrived yesterday. Has anyone else had succes in obtaining their order recently?

Still no contact back from the Dude! I sent him an email this week asking the status of Hail Caesar dials and I have yet to get a response. This is not the way to expand business.

Still waiting on mine as well…

Hope nothing happened to him. His product is super. As a JRIII player his dials are a major improvement on the order chits.

Anyone heard from him yet? I've written a number of emails to see when things are coming back in stock, but no replies.

Looking forward to ordering some of his dials, but hitting a wall.

They would be great as casualty counters for 10mm.

No word from him. I'll look somewhere else…GF9 has markers that I can use.

Still no sign of my order either and have given up hope of seeing it

Looks like he has marked the dials as 'sold out' now, I will also be looking elsewhere

Hmmm, that is too bad. I do hope that he gets things straightened out. I know that Litko produces a counter, but I don't think they are quite the same. I like the aesthetics of the flags and other graphics that the Dial Dude uses. I hope there is nothing seriously wrong.

Very unfortunate. I have done business with him before and I can attest to both the high quality of product and service. Let's hope he is o.k. He's a good man!

Has anyone heard back from the Dial Dude yet? I'd be curious to know if he plans to bring his dials back into production. I really like his flag dials.

His site appears to have been hacked.

Hacked big time.
Strange site to target – never understood the hacking thing anyway.

Wow I feel very bad for the guy. Not what he needs!

Yes, hacked… what`s that all about?

I give up.
Whats a dial?
Is it a spinning die?

Max, there are some similar products at:

Hey what a great idea for casualty markers!
Thanks Michael.
Max

Yes a good idea Max…
I was looking for a friend who maybe needs something like that to fit to his bases rather than handle the figures too much when taking off casualties.

Just checked his site, and it seems he's back online.

There's an explanation of what happened on the frontpage.

Glad he is back.

Not much on it though, all products seems to be a single item?

I ordered a fair quantity of these on the 31st December 2011. They arrived here in the UK within a few days. I had several e-mails acknowledging receipt of the order and then confirming dispatch.

The service I had was faultless and the product is excellent quality and value for money.

Hi all,

Yes, I am back, finally. Was in a VERY bad place in my life for a while there and things got to a point where I didn't care about me anymore. Almost to a very bad ending honestly, but things have turned and now life is good and back on track.

Right now there are two products listed (both of which always sell the day I list them). I am working on several more projects and should have the prototypes in my hands shortly.

These include a new round dial (by request), 2 Flames of War compatiable dials, and I just started working a Hail Ceasar dial as well. More projects on the plate include dials for the systems of Guns at Gettysburg (including all for that 'system'), and Starfleet Battles.

If there is something that you would like to see, contact me. I have recently been told 'I have to much time on my hands' because of some of unique designs that I have shown to some for Flames of War.

Thanks all,
Steve

Welcome back Steve! Now get to work!!! ;)

Working sir, working! =) should have new prototypes tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Looking forward to these.
