I received my Barzam on Saturday and started test fitting right away. Another great kit Ako. Thanks and keep up the excellent work.

Mistakes happen, very kind of you to notify everyone and let us know that you are handling the situation.  I'm hoping its not from my kits but at least if it is, I'll know its taking care of.  Thanks for the great service and to ask, when is the GM-III projected to be released now that the barzam has been put out.

As luck would have it, I got one of the mixed up orders lol.  Pm sent to you AKO.

Got the Barzam refine parts in the mail the other day AKO! Can't wait to get started. Tnanks again for the great customer care!

Hi Guys,

actually I will be sending replacement parts for the Barzam kit to all the board members who had purchase the kit within a week time. The parts include the chin section and the lower leg armors. A total of 3 pieces. I was informed to replacement the parts just in case if the factory mixed up with some second quality kit that we rejected. So you don't need to be surprise if you receive a package from us in te next three weeks.

my apology again! Look like we are runnung into some bad luck this time.

That's awesome!  I'm really glad you're taking care of us like that.  Was wondering why I was having such fitment issues on some of the parts.

Can't wait for the GMIII order to start up.  Going to need to order another couple of MKII's 

And those new metal parts look amazing.  Definitely going to order some of those, and the beam saber hilts as well.

AKO, assisted me promptly when I saw I had a mistake with my order, glad you are right on it with any other issues.  Sad to hear about the string of bad luck, I hope the GM III release will be trouble free.  Also, will we need to message you at all or send some type of confirmation for the new part replacements?

[AkoHobby]

no there is no need since we are replacing the parts to everyone.

[AkoHobby]

Love the Light up Hilt.  Does it come with a clear beam sword?

the hilt is designed to fit the clear beam swords that come with the MG kit. so Metal-Up is selling the hilt only. I think you might need to trim off the peg a little if needed.

[shenphong]

Got my replacement parts today, that was fast, although there is still a problem with my order, I emailed you AKO with the details...

[AkoHobby]

since some of the members here have doubt on the light-up beam hilt ...here... my first youtube video to show the effect under normal indoor lighting.

That's funny... no words, but you can cut through the sarcasm with a dull knife.

[AkoHobby]

well i guess for the first youtube video... it shouldn't be too bad :).

[makalaka]

Should everyone have received the Barzam replacement parts by now? because I haven't.

[ahaiko]

I have not received mine either...

[Zircor]

Nor have I received mine.

[FichtenFoo]

I have an international package waiting at my local post office to pick up tomorrow. Could be this... could be something else. Will let you know.

Hi Guys, if you haven't receive the replacement by next Friday, you can drop a message to sales@akocreation.com. Ako
