SCAMMER ALERT: Viet Collector

83 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I always hate making posts like these, but it looks like now is the time.

It appears that the Youtube and Resin Collector Viet Collector has started scamming customers. He is also either the owner or part owner of the Dynanic Studios resin statue company.

YouTube: Viet Collector - YouTube

Instagram: u/vietcollector

Facebook: (3) Viet Collector | Facebook

From what it looks like, Viet Collector has taken buyers payments and failed to ship out the item that they purchased and completely ghosts them. I had been seeing posts about this for the past month, but wanted to let it play out a bit more before posting. I have never had any interactions with Viet Collector, and never watched his videos, but I know he is a huge part of the Statue collecting community.

Today, in a couple of groups the following was posted by a member:

Some of you have already seen and commented on the ongoing issues with Khanh Do. He’s probably better known to the rest of you as VietCollector on youtube, and owner of Dynamic Studio. Not to mention admin for FNC’s facebook groups.

Introductions out of the way for people unfamiliar - the reason for this post is that i think it’s finally time for me to fully acknowledge that beyond all sane reason, Khanh is almost certainly scamming people, myself included.

As much as i hate to admit it, his behavior these few months has been raising every obvious red flag you can think of, but i didn’t want to recognize that fact. Worse, I defended him, because he was one of the first content creators that introduced me to this hobby. And recognizing that he might actually be betraying everyone’s trust genuinely stings.

I’ve tried to gather these notes from my own experiences, and the testimonies of other collectors, and i’ll let you all make your own conclusions.

Khanh has been claiming fedex and ups have been taking and holding his packages, eventually returning them weeks later, unshipped, for a variety of reasons. This has been going on for months. I think I myself am coming up on month 4. For anyone who has shipped anything in the states, i think we’re all aware that this isn’t how these companies work. For those who haven’t shipped before - they take your package, do their measurements, and give you a tracking number as soon as you pay. This should have been enough of a warning for me, but again, i didn’t want to recognize that Khanh might not be 100% honest with me.

And for the record, the first person I saw that really called him out here on facebook was able to get his package shipped very quickly, provided their post went away. Odd that Khanh managed to sort that one out as efficiently as he did, i think.

* Khanh has also claimed water damage to my boxes, but not the statues themselves. Thinking on it now, this was probably just another delay tactic, but i’m just curious if he said the same to anyone else.

An obvious one - He’s easy to message while he’s taking your money, but after that it takes a week or more to get a hold of him, if he ever answers. And in my most recent conversations with him, he has refused to come back to facebook proper, instead opting to keep everything in Messenger.

And, this next one was a big one that I should have questioned - for the second of the two statues i bought from him, he gave me a new email to send money to, which, again, from anyone else would have been a huge warning. But i chose to ignore it. And that email just so happens to belong to a Huy Le, which is the same name as one of the admins of the FNC group. Go figure.

There’s also an odd conversation that another member posted about between him and the facebook rep for Dynamic Studio. According to Dynamic, Khanh is merely assisting in publishing. No real ties to Dynamic, or at least not now that it no longer suits them. This is of course, contrary to what Khanh has been saying for, what, a year now? Beyond shady behavior, from both parties.

I’m sure i’m missing some critical evidence that i can add to this post later, but right now, i’m just done. I’m just so deflated. To think that my first genuine scamming may likely be coming from someone like this. Like, baby’s first scam is supposed to come from some new account, right? Or a fake profile. Or someone who’s been trolling the boards under new aliases for years. Someone with experience duping collectors. But nope. Khanh fuckin’ Do. Goddamn Vietcollector, a known quantity in the community. Fuckin’ hell.

To summarize, I guess - the evidence, even just from my own experience, says that Khanh Do is almost certainly scamming people. I still don’t want to fully admit it, despite writing all this.

Huy Le, another admin of FNC, whoever he is, is part of this, maybe? I guess it’s a common name, but i find it too coincidental.

And uh, Dynamic Studio, who I suppose is trying to wash their hands of Khanh? I don’t think they should get to just walk away. Not sure what could realistically be done about them, though.

So I guess the long and short of it is - this sucks. I’m not even angry anymore, just fuckin’ sad that it’s actually come to this.

But hey, maybe he’ll see my post and finally get my statues out in the mail, right?

Hahahaha. Haaaa…

This post has brought a lot of attention towards the situation, and I am waiting to see how it plays out, with that said, if anyone has had any dealings with Viet Collector or Dynamic Studios recently, it would be in your best interest to try and either request a refund or file a clam.

I will update this post with any new information I receive.

Stay safe everyone, and keep growing those collections!

Update from the original poster on Facebook:

Update 8/11/21
Khanh responded to me maybe 10 minutes after this post went up. He said he’d get me tracking by tomorrow (8/10), and to post if I don’t.

So here’s me posting that I didn’t.

Update 2 - 8/11/2021
I have a tracking # for one of two statues. He says the second will go out tomorrow. The package is in ups hands, and on its way to me.

Update 3
I also need to apologize to Huy Le. Ever since this posted, he’s been speaking with me in messenger and doing his own outreach with other folk, trying to get to the bottom of whatever is going on.

Like, the guy has been fabulous, and I originally called out him as a potential scammer, but it’s looking more like he’s just as much a potential victim here.

It seems that you have to call him out as a scammer in a public way before he will ship your stuff. Buyers beware!

I recently went to Japan, and I honestly couldn't believe how affordable Dragon Ball figures were compared to back home.

I ended up bringing back 25 figures spread across four suitcases. The whole flight home I was convinced customs would stop me, but luckily everything made it safely.

My sis found this a target but didn’t explain anything, except that it was on a “pink glowy orb sphere” probably a ball of destruction? or just a large energy ball? can someone tell me what this is and where its from?

it’s got pegs on its feet (where she said it was connected to the sphere) and a purple piece sticking out of his shoulder, which I thought was one of Moro’s crystals but that wouldn’t make any sense.

Customs Ultimate Gohan Hondan style card

I grew up dreaming of owning those vintage 90’s Dragon Ball Carddass cards.

Years later, I decided to make my own: not copies, but original cards built from my own artwork while keeping the spirit and design language that made those classics so memorable.
This is my latest one. Every part was designed and assembled by me, from the illustration to the print process, including the holographic finish.
I’d genuinely love to hear what fellow Dragon Ball collectors think.

Thanks for taking a look!

Description of the card below 👇

003 究極の悟飯
No. 003 — Ultimate Gohan

* 究極 (kyūkyoku) = ultimate / perfected
* 悟飯 (Gohan) = Gohan

Right-side vertical text

「もはや超サイヤ人になる必要はない」
静かな闘志と圧倒的な力で敵を迎え撃つ!

“I no longer need to become a Super Saiyan!”
With silent determination and overwhelming power, Gohan stands ready to crush his enemies!

Bottom power box

DP 3000

This is the card’s displayed power/battle value.

Bottom description

潜在能力全開!!
眠っていた力がついに目覚める!!

Latent potential fully unleashed!!
The power that had been sleeping finally awakens!!

Hi all, new DBZ figure collector here. I was amazed at how good the MDs are. I got the Grandista UI Goku MD and Grandista SSJ Vegeta MD. I want to collect just the MDs moving forward, but from what I read, bandai already discontinued them?

Looking to see if there is any value in the small amount of cards that I have left from the Bandai Dragon Ball CCG. If so, where is a good place to check and sell them?

Collection Why does Piccolo often look crap compared to other characters from the same series / line / brand?

2 Upvotes

I’m fairly new to this stuff, but I keep noticing that when I try and find statues to purchase, all the human characters in a particular line might look great and have lots of detail etc. but Piccolo seems to lack detail and often looks cheaper and plasticcy. (I’m mostly thinking of Banpresto but there are some other ones too).

I don’t know if it’s just the photos I happen to be looking at, but I’d love to know everyone’s thoughts and experiences, and where I could find some better Piccolo statues / figures. :)

Hi guys! I found out that my extreme saiyan last one doesn’t have any foot markings. The thing is the height , the weight even the head is looks like the same event the paint finish is really good (whoever have this know that if you put it directly to lights you’ll see a something bluesih color) . Does this make it a bootleg or still authentic? Anyone have experience this?
