Hmm... Bad mouthing Todd Lassen on a public forum without attempting to communicate directly. It seems like I have seen that movie before. I don't think it ends well.

Now THAT is funny. Looks like magicshayne just contacted him a few days ago, for the first time. I saw the Mason CSB is 85 pounds, that is $139, so have no idea how that is half price of Lassen's. I think he sold his for $125.

Customized greatly...

Of course Bob Swadling's gaffed coins do not measure up to Todd Lassen's. Nothing I have seen so far does measure up to Todd's work.
However, that said, Swadling's coins aren't half bad; I think you are looking at a very small, low res image Bobby, and making a judgment. Also, FWIW, I got my Lassen CSB for the initial "early order" price of $99! Nicest looking coin set I own - clad set that is. My Barber expanded shell set and Barber C/S coin have caused me to adjust my opinion of all other such coin sets available. Unbelieveable detail, and the expanded shell is as close to undetectable as I have ever seen, and I do own quite a few shells by various makers. Thanks! Jim |

It is just my opinion of him and the way he has been reinforces that fact. Oh I would also like to thank you Todd for the extra youtube views on your blog :-].
@elainevblaine it is the pure silver csb sets I was refering to sorry for confusion on that. I do own sets from both ok it is the flip*** coin but my opinion is that the smallest of diffrence in workmanship and I mean the smallest does not justify the price gap and no way effects the magic Bob Swalding I believe is also the creator of the Flip**** coin... I will post pics soon of the CSB from swalding as soon as I get the coins I might have to take some humble pie but I doubt it as I know his other coins I own has been top stuff. The blog you got Todd only shows one side of the whole story you are only showing what you want people to see and what is with FAT people remark lol now that's not very nice is it. |

Just also noticed that todd got a link on his sight that says yell at me here for not answering emails which is intresting and reinforces the fact that I am not the only one who has had problems with customer service. for the guys that have had no problems I am very happy for you and enjoy the coins but for me it is not worth the hassle..

So which bit of the timeline and email exchange is inaccurate?

No. Quality things like these take time. You have to be a bit more understanding, don't just jump ahead and put him down because he takes too long to respond (you waited... 2 days?). |

That link is on his NON commercial site. Lassen is a custom maker, doing dozens of projects seemingly at the same time. Anyone in the business knows that he is overloaded, always. Instead of appreciating his incredible ability that he shares with magicians, what seems to be the scenario here is that you placed an order on his commercial site without any contact with him whatsoever. He refunded your money and informed you that the product was not available. It was at that point, a day later, that you decided to come on here and start badmouthing about his service and product. Lassen has the right to defend his reputation, and it looks like he has done a fine job of that in his own humorous way, stating dates and showing all the emails that he received from you. He has clearly shown that your complaints are bogus, you only contacted him a few days ago for the very first time, AFTER he had refunded your money. That SHOULD be enough to silence you, I would hope. Thanks for the fake review from your readers here as well. |

What is hilarious, Elaine, is how people seem to think that using the telephone is "a hassle".
Contacting Todd is like contacting anyone else: pick up the phone and dial the number (allowing for time differences if you're calling from abroad), if he isn't in, just try another time. I think some people genuinely believe that Todd is actually a factory owner, churning out mass produced gaffs and whipping his minions, while deliberately ignoring emails... Haha. As is always pointed out to these guys, you can buy Johnson or Tango, or you can learn how to approach specialist craftsmen, and learn a bit of patience into the bargain. |

Never had a problem dealing with Todd, except me snoozing too long and the product being gone. Always great to deal with and the quality worth the wait.

Yes, I guess magicshayne has magically vanished after being caught in a big fat lie. Saying someone's customer service is shi+ because they didn't get a response within 44 minutes might be a bit, well, retarded, for lack of a better word.

I've done business with Todd on several occasions, and have always been amazed at the quality of product. He is currently working on something for me, and, like any grown adult should understand, I'm not going to get it right away because quality things take time to make!

No not vanished still here just a little busy @ Elaine r you related to todd in any way? the fact that I sent todd more emails before that is not being shown there is always 2 sides to ever story , I agree I got frustrated when he wouldnt reply. I have since found out that I am not the only person who has had similar issues, I for one are not prepared to wait 2 months for an item like the person says in a previous post (2 months and still no coins) I understand quality cant be rushed but if you want me to pay the highest cost in the land for these gimmicks then I would like emails answered.

If you ordered what I ordered, Schoolcraft would take two months too.. The problem is you only had the patients to wait 1 day.
