Tactical Tag: No Immortality on Doomsday

While OMW is busy tossing their customers metal triggers (which I honestly could care less about), they're once again missing the mark.  Wasn't there something about a Longshot kit on 12-4-12?  Since it's been over a year for the initial preorder, I've been burnt out long enough on this kit.  Earlier in the fall I even decided to cancel the order, but even had problems with trying to do that... so I don't know if it actually got cancelled or not.  Now there's this fiasco about getting "Address Confirmation E-mails", of which I have not received.  At first, I took this as a sign that my order did actually get cancelled, but upon reading their fans responses, many others haven't gotten confirmation e-mails yet either.

Some folks have been defensive of Orange Mod Works in my recent rants about my opinion of how they've handled the Longshot Immortal kit, but a quick look back at the yearlong ordeal of this kit should make things pretty clear.  Every single time OMW has set an ETA or put a date on this kit, it's been blown past with delay after delay.  Additionally, they chug on acting as if nothing is wrong, offer up some other deals and freebies before actually answering the question of "what happened to the kit THIS time?"

Free Metal Triggers, coupons, and all that jazz doesn't do a thing for me.  Even if it turns out my order WAS indeed cancelled, I'm frustrated for the fans that are still waiting for OMW to get their act together and deliver when they say they will on this kit.  At this point, I don't care if the kit is any good or not.  All this "The wait will be worth it" is just a cheap ploy to dodge the bullets of the coma-inducing wait the Longshot Immortal kit has put their fans through.
