Mr. Lopez,

We are going to invite you, Ron Salvatore, Chris Gregorlia and Steve
Sansweet to a public and open debate.  The topic is going to be the fake
unproduced micro collection figures that all of you promote as well as the
counterfiets Ron Salvatore makes and sells, also all of the prototypes,
artists renderings, first shots and those clearly bogus Raul Partha figures
that you are trying to pass off as Kenner Conceptual pieces.  According to
a couple friends of mine who contacted you a while back, Lou and Tim, all
you guys do is talk in complete circles about ex Kenner employees who gave
you your info. You even made the statement that all this Kenner property
you all have in your private collections came from a sale at Kenner in the
early 90's.  Not so guys, not even close. We have documentation that Kenner
does not sell ANYTHING direct to the public and that particular sale was
only for their model kits and was sold only to a company called Ertel. 
Your story may be believed by people who have no way of checking,  only for
right now, but you all have my guarantee that the entire world is going to
know the whole story before we are done. It's only fair to let you know,
that your entire web site has been copied by both Kenner and Lucasfilm and
if you guys aren't too busy with the I.R.S. and the F.B.I., then we are
planning a very public challenge  to you all.  From reading all of your
e-mails to Tim and Lou,  which were complete stupidity on your part , don't
even bother to respond to this. Your invitation will be coming from the
News Media.  If you think this is a joke, just hang on. You're about to
find out.  One thing I would like to point out before I end this,  The
Unproduced Micro Collection Figures pictured on the Mock up boxes were
painted hard copies and not the painted unproduced first shots that you
claimed  were used in Kenner Photography.  First shots were never ordered
for any of the unproduced Kenner Micro Collection Figures and we are going
to produce all the documentation that proves this along with all kinds of
other surprises.  I am speaking for a number of serious collectors who
believe that people like you are destroying the real collector's market and
that you deserve everything that is about to come your way.  Did I mention
The Earth in Cincinnati, Ohio?  Well, Daren and Kathy Murrer are going to
be invited as well as Tom Neiheisel and Mark Bourdeaux.  You suggested to
Tim and Lou that they set up their own web site or have an article
published stating our claims, well we discussed it and decided that this is
a much better idea.  When we're done, there'll be no more scamming of
unsuspecting worldwide collectors from people like you.  We still can't
believe that The Earth gets  up to $650. for a unproduced Bespin Guard that
is nothing but worthless pot metal.  I guess you all will have your hands
full when the people who bought this crap find out how they have been
tricked by people who have used their positions and expertise to decieve
them.  The only expertise coming from any of you is  down right theft.
