JPolli Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Might anyone know if Perry's Resin is still in business? It is not on the aftermarket list. However, I heard he has opened a hobby shop. Jim Polli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intmd8r Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I've never had the pleasure of dealing Perry's, but you could always try to contact him via his website to see if his stuff is still available. I've seen some cool products that have my interest, but haven't attempted to buy on-line.Copied from Perry's website:Changes at Perry'sWhen I started Perry's Resin Replicas, I did so with a long term goal of someday opening a hobby shop. In November 2006, we did that. I had originally planned on continuing with Perry's in it's current form, but time isn't permitting that. With the hobby shop being a full-time, and, at this time, a seven day a week job, I've decided to trim Perry's back. We are dropping all the small parts and tires from the website, however they will still be available in the shop and at shows. They will NOT be available by mail or internet order.The website will continue to operate and carry the body kits and conversions.All current orders will be filled, however, no new orders for small parts and tires will be processed as of January 7, 2008.Now, with time being freed up, this will allow us to bring new products to market.Randy Frost"Note the DATE posted on the memo - it apears that the website has not been updated in nearly10 years!With that said, sounds like you can not buy anything from Perry's without stopping by his shop (which does not have an internet presencee the last time I checked), or catch him at a show. Again, this is speculation based on the feedback I've read.There are plenty reviews floating around the internet about sales with past customers. Always worth checking into when looking to buy parts fromtehse Mom & Pops stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Toups Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It's a shame really, I have several of his kits. Randy made a good product. Excellent quality and subjects no one else had. Service was never one of his strong points. I purchased my kits when he used to do the Toledo NNL or NNL East. The only item I ever ordered was the 1/16 Daytona Charger and it took over a year to get! I think his shop is called Dailey Hobbies and it's somewhere near Toronto. They have a website. He's also on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASS ARTS Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I messaged him on FB page and sent an email to his hobby store about 2 weeks ago haven't heard anything!To me that's just plain rude nobody is that busy , he might find one day he needs us again.

Ed Dingo Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I've tried contacting him thru his site and email 3 times since last November....no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) What I can't figure is why he still has the website up---it hasn't been updated in 9 years...someone has to pay for the domain name and hosting..you would think he would take it down if he's not in the resin casting business anymore...weird..

Chuck Most Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Just search the forum for posts about Perry's Resin... should tell you all you need to know. That being said, if you want something from Perry's, look for a secondhand piece online or at a sale, see if another caster is making it or something similar, or try making your own. That would seem like less of a headache to me. Edited February 18, 2017 by Chuck Most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wilson Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I ordered from him and it took nearly two years of constant of calling to get it. I had all but given up on it and it just showed up in the mail box one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal76 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Seems like the only way to get what you might want is to go to the shop and see if he has it for sale there. Not able to do that, but what I have bought from him before he opened the shop was top quality. Wish I could get a few more items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumpyDan Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have been to his store many time at least 6 to 8 times every year. I have looked every time I am in and there is none of his product in the store, I have only seen a couple of counter top turn around racks with after market products and not his stuff. Not very often I am in and he is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Looks like Perry's may be making product again soon, at least according the the comments on the Perry's Resin fb page: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shame of it all is that he had some great products over the years and he screwed it up with really poor customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobdude Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 He screwed it up with really poor customer service,because he treated his aftermarket business like a hobby. It's still a business whether you are doing it for your own enjoyment or some other reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Toups Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I'll believe it when I see it. Randy had some great products that would be awesome to have back, but I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell48098 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I only bought from him when he was a toy shows WITH product. He'd sometimes bring one of his masters and try and get folks to buy them in advance. Two guys I know, did that and never got their conversions despite paying him at the shows. A.J.

aurfalien Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi, Several of his Ferrari 333SP sold on eBay last week for between $80 to $130, some great deals for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
