I agree. This is NOT a new company period. It is the same company with some new partners and an influx of cash. Some of the new cash people had a vested interest in seeing the good promised delivered. Seems they have been taken care of in q much quicker order than those who have been waiting years in some cases. Not sure why some here seem to think that is fine and dandy but passed obligations well that's the past and we will get to it when we get to it. I'm all for them buying INTO the business and providing it with a much needed(apparently)influx of cash and maybe a bit of a new perspective. But the fact remains the obligations and people owed money are just that. Still owed monies for goods that have been paid for. Obligations which were there when they decided to put up their money to buy into an existing business.

As I stated earlier I wish KB and the new investors all the best. IMO this has been handled very poorly from a PR perspective for sure. People who put money in apparently have gotten some of their money back in short with new blocks, while others who have been waiting for extended periods of time are still waiting. I just don't see why many here see no problem with this, or at least the appearance of a problem. I also don't understand why there would be ANY secrecy regarding those who have already received blocks that were owed blocks. Seems to me I would be trumpeting those who have received the goods they paid for. After all according to what I am reading here they are owed nothing.....

Seems like it could have been laid out fairly plainly from early on.

One block to someone who is "owed" a block for every "x" number of blocks produced, with the back ordered blocks being delivered in order of those who paid first, get theirs first.
Once the production levels had become somewhat known(x number of finished blocks being delivered per month), then a schedule for filling the back orders could be established, along with projected delivery dates for each of the people waiting.
Then it's just a matter of letting them know when their block is projected to be done.

*If you are an existing Customer, or if you are waiting on an Order*

If you have an existing order, it will be delivered.

Our Dealer network is taking over the management of your order and will be your single point of contact. Contact information for our Dealers is set out below. If you haven’t contacted already, you will be by Friday January 27. Your Dealer will advise you of your exact date for shipment (all open orders now have a specific completion date assigned).

Initially, we have some backfilling to do but we expect by mid-year to be well and truly ahead of this with plenty of blocks in the market with Dealers and customers. Blocks start shipping to Dealers on January 27.

Like I said earlier, all you arm chair quarterbacks should buy in at hpp and show us all exactly how its done.

Things have turned around at kb and the blocks in the initial post prove it
I can assure you the new owners aren't there for bank roll but to fix the issues
I love all the assumption and speculation of what and why things are happening
To each his own on spending good money on second best, for those who dont want to purchase the ultimate cast mopar block.

Well for one I did a lot of business with Ken in the past, 4 blocks at different times.
I told a customer to call him direct with a custom order, two years later still waiting for a block. KB did not file bankruptcy, new investors through there money into the business and statements were made that the paid customers would be taken care of. I want to see results of these statements.
You keep posting how we are all arm chair quarterbacks on this subject, what is your roll? You don't seem to have any good answers to the problem.

CALL THE CUSTOMERS! TELL THEM THE PLAN! QUIT POSTING NEW BLOCKS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO NEW CUSTOMERS (TAKE CARE OF THE PAID COSTUMERS!)

What is crazy to me is there are several investors to get the business back going and I have heard a # that 80 blocks were owed and most paid a 50% deposit. This is only about $250k. In the grand scheme of things all 80 blocks would only be $500k retail( before price increase). What is this business worth???

Fact: Companies can be bought without assuming liabilities.

Darren will be releasing a public statement here and other forums in the very near future. That is all I am saying on this publicly for now.
Good day.
