To all,

First, I want to thank you for letting me come here to address this issue. It appears it has gotten a bit out of hand rather quickly, but I promise you there was never any illicit intentions.

Many of you know me, but for those who don't; My name is Jordan Hembrough. I own Hollywood Heroes. I have been a dealer for 25 years and specialize in vintage Star Wars prototypes. Over the past year, I have been hosting a show called Toy Hunter, which keep me on the road literally 20 out of each month. Needless to say... I am busy.

Kenner Babe approached me about a year ago asking questions about the hobby. She posted on RS and showed interest in the genre. Her father is also a collector. Over the past year I have gotten to know her, and she has shown a great interest in learning the "dealer side" of the hobby. She was always intent on knowing "why something sold " and "how did you find this?" Over the past year we can grown to be friends.

Last month I came across a set of Palitoy cards and was fortunate enough to purchase them all at once. I will admit that I have not kept on the market, and have been unable to attend to much of the business like I once did. The show and promotion has kept me busy.

Last week, Kenner Babe asked if I needed any help either listing auctions or doing any type of research of toys... and I took her up on the offer. I asked her to check out the prices and sales of 12-Back Palitoys.

Her eagerness to prove herself may have gotten a bit out of control. I understand that some may have been concerned about the sale,, and it is understandable. The questions and research were intended to be preliminary research on the set... not an invitation to immediate sale.

I truly want to apologize to the community for the confusion this may have caused.

And to be clear, Kenner Babe is one of three interns working for me.. so please understand that while a younger collector... she is legit. She may lack the necessary tact or proper diction that comes from years in the field.. but her passion for collecting is raw and pure. In years to come, I do think she will be an excellent dealer.

And finally, she is my friend. So, when somebody makes a jab at her or insults her intelligence or age, I take it personally.

I welcome any email to me about the collection. My E-mail is jordan@hollywoodheroes.com. And, I will provide better photos.

For the record, those commenting about the Luke are correct. The bubble split along the side and the footer fell out. It is on the bottom of the box in which the collection came. All others are sealed, albiet some are slight warped. Nothing that a good "Book pressing" cant take care of.

Again, thank you for letting me come here. I intend on coming over to the UK next year, as much of family is in Nottingham and London. I truly hope I can meet many of you in person.

I will admit right now, that I don't normally come to this forum. I rare have time to look at the Net much these days. If anyone would like to E-mail me directly, I welcome and opportunity to speak to you.

My best to you all,
Jordan Hembrough
Hollywood Heroes

That's what I don't get about all this. Sure he said he had met her etc?

Poor guy. Somewhere in the tweets about the outing, someone mentioned s/he won a Macbook on some "Opie" show (this show maybe?l) so it looks like he shammed quite a few people with the crafty choice of using a moniker with which people would quickly sympathize.

And the scariest thing about all this (and I don't know the whole story, but what I've pieced together is scary stupid and fucked up) is that there was someone on here stranger than Chris J.

smells fishy, even from here

wasn't this "chick" a trainee at his shop?

(edit.. nevermind, that's what i get from replying without refreshing the page)

paul: indeed! it seems almost impossible

Fairly certain (especially seeing the reaction of "Faithe" in that snapshot Josh posted) that this was another one of "his" accounts - @RacistHankJr (now deleted):

LOL, how many guys do you think kenner babe has sucked in to having some sexy talk over the net, theres probably a few guys freaking out after they realise the pics they sent, love letters, and sexting was all to a bloke lol, pure gold
Man there are some sick puppies out there

Wow... I have seen he/she on Rebel Scum. That just goes to show that you never know who is on the other side of data packets. So Kenner Babe is a man? Say hello to BIG OLE MR KANNISH!

Freaky, just freaky...

OK - I've had to come out of a long time hiding just to second this comment!

Now back to my cave...

What- ChrisJ is a teenage girl?

It would explain the drama queen attitude. And his strange addiction to My Little Pony related porn.

WTF????

Thats new to me!!! Yeah you never know it all about ChrisJ. A real weirdo livin under a bridge....

This is just a really sad situation. The thing that bugged me the most about HIM over on RS was the sheer amount of topics started.

I feel duped in a way, as I chimed in on several threads to help answer questions or give pricing advice. I for one really hope that he did not use photos of his daughter for deception. It seems as though there were several accounts used by this one person, not just on RS, but probably here as well as twitter.

What a world, man. What a world!

FINALLY!!!!!!

Sorry folks....I'm late to the game (And a newbie on here...HELLO EVERYONE!!....and hello fellow scummers). I joined RS early last year around when Kenner Babe joined, and had left the hobby for a bit so stopped going to RS as well, but there were rumblings of something 'peculiar' with her before I stopped. I'm back collecting now (YAY! though my wallet isn't too excited...) and see all this talk of her/him, but RS is closing all threads on the subject. I have no idea what happened, but THANKS TO TIG, I have my answer. THANK THE MAKER!

I think I need to hang out here more often....

That is some screwed up shit though, I must say. I feel dirty from just speaking to her/him via threads. Or for having helped her/him out in any way whatsoever. Used.......

I can appreciate an environment that isn't polluted with the online policing of what we should and shouldn't be talking about as adults regardless the subject.

I second that Mike - I'm all about not having a leash shoved up my ass

welcome to TIG Nerfherder



we may be a little on the evil side here but at least we're not trying to control the world ...

yet

Seems as though Kenner man has officially left the building, no replies in defence of himself, id say its not too long before he pops up again here or on RS, the sockpuppet accounts have prob already been activated lol.

Well we banned the account......

and i'll be tracking the IP in case a puppet account posts up.


BTW - Ray Finkle is awesome!

Probably Tiefighterboy anyway

You know you love me.

Go back to SWFUKUP inc. You're a legend in your own little lunch box with those guys. Where Star Wars geeks try their hardest not to be Star Wars geeks. Rebels without a cause and all that. Besides...some of them are probably still crying themselves to sleep, sucking on their Star Wars blanky, over the Stormtroopers...I am sure they need a bedtime story from you. Maybe you could read them the one about how awesome they all are?

LOL, Whos Ray Finkie ?

PS @ Josh, i agree the tough talk on SWFUK from a few disappears real quick when the same people come to RS or here.
The massive whine fest about the repro stormies is hillarious, some think they can change the world through whining and whinging like a broken record, as ive said a few times the only defence against repros is education.

And on the subject of kenner man, he will be back, its in his nature to want to feel included, have plenty of attention and get his ego fed lol, its just a matter of time, prob under a dif IP address, i think there should be a prize for the first person that guesses who his first puppet account is lol
