    Yes, thanks for letting me know....I was stiffed big time by a guy in Germany...sent him a shirt and patches while in Europe in Nov....still waiting on mine...

    Aug 16, 2010

  • Michele L Julum

    I don't think you will get your patches... I just think he is a collector and not a sender... Hope I am wrong!

    Aug 17, 2010

  • Arron

    Yeah mate your on the money with him, I dare say that a few others have been screwed over as well. Hopefully we can let enough people know so he doesnt get away with it. Thanks for accepting the friend request, I dont have any of the patches that he said he could send, however I do have a few other Australian patches. If you would like one let me know and I will get something out to you. I dont need anything in return. Not all of us Aussies are like this guy

    Aug 17, 2010

  • Arron

    No worries mate
    I dont have any shirts for trade at the moment but if I get some I will keep you in mind. Unfortunately he is in another state, way too far for a quick visit which is unfortunate.
    All the best mate.

  • Matt Tipper

    No worries Lucky. I didn't ask for any in return as I'm not into the patch thing, so none the wiser. Just curious though, have you heard from any others that Leo does this or is it only your personal experience.
