*UPDATE* (A warning regarding Arcade Renovations)

Guys,

I received a few more private replies regarding Arcade Renovations.

It appears that Philippe is not paying his bills.

If the artwork is in his hands, then he ships it. If he is out of stock,
then he does not have the ability to re-order, and thus he takes your money
and you don't get product.

Since Philippe won't defend himself on the newsgroups, or these mailing
lists, or even by contacting me to "give his side of the story", I must let
the facts and the experiences of (several) others speak for him.

Arcade Renovations is not conducting business properly - place orders with
him at your own risk.

I have received messages from several others who are in the *exact* same
situation as myself.

You have been warned.......

         - Matt
