I have one of the Midwest Prop Shop / Lovesmonkey pack shells. It seems that they have fallen off the face of the earth. Regardless, I am trying to hunt down a bumper (any bumper) to fit a back I am trying to build. I’ve poked around ebay, MMM, etc, but haven’t found much, and as far as I can tell, it’s sort of crucial. Anyone have any suggestions where I might be able to locate a bumper?
Exoray sells one;
Do the 'search function, type in 'bumper and define the search to ‘for sale’ forum, and you’ll find more..
As for Loveusmonkey, see this thread;
Welcome to the board, and hope you did not get screwed.
I think I was fortunate in that the shell itself is actually fine and seems to be one of the few that was correctly produced. Thanks for pointing me to that posting so I can avoid in the future.
i know its a moot point and they are also blacklisted, but does no one bother to read names closely anymore?

“Love You Smokey”
Fair enough 
- I got it through Midwest Prop Shop but saw the other variance name, etc.
I don’t know why it hit me just now, but I had always read his name as “Love Us Monkey”.
dude, me too.
dude, everyone on the site i swear to god. ive never seen it written right.
Haha, I ALWAYS read it as “love us monkey”.
Maybe it was meant to mean “loves your money” considering it took a month for me to ever get a shell after I won it at auction.
Well, considering his ‘impeccable’ reputation, you are very lucky to get what you paid for…
Hope you find yourself a bumper, I had to do it from scratch on our packs… Nowadays, things are a bit easier…
