    Email them and ask to take Chromia off, Hasbro UK got screwed on their ordering by Hasbro international distribution so didn’t manage to get any of her

    Yes, I had an order like that a while back and Rodimus Unicronus got delayed. Drop the fine folk an email and they’ll square you away.

    It’s either wait or they’ll refund you and raise you another order, albeit without the missing item. They are very helpful people and not afraid to admit when they have dropped the ball, which on the balance of probabilities will happen from time to time.

    It’s prolly what makes them most people in this threads ‘go-to’.

    Hope that helps :)

    Obviously the Warpath mold, and very similar to the unreleased figure Sark designed for iGear a million years ago... I take it that's a custom? It's lovely.

    I have Strika in that mold and while it's gorgeous it's far too small for her. Great little mold that one.

    We already know it isn't going to top that. Nice work there chief.

    @Napalm - can't "like" that without expressing some hope you do get it sorted out - yodel are effing-bleep-word beyond useless and need an RPG up the aft for that shit. Good luck.

    @nice sideburns,
    Hope you can get the health situation with you and your son sorted as best is possible!

    @Napalm,
    If I could track down the incompetent fuckers at Yodel who've screwed up your delivery I'll use one of my contacts to send some raccoons round to destroy their furniture. How are such idiots even employed?

    @Rotorstorm
    Fantastic Impactor!

    Got a courtesy call from the vet this morning reminding me not to give Oreo any food after 10pm tonight as he's having his op tomorrow. He had a decent run round with Rebecca this afternoon before disappearing for a snooze under my bed for a bit so he's behaving normally and I'm feeling OK about things, obviously there's always a bit of a risk where anaesthetics are concerned but as far as the procedure goes it seems relatively straightforward so not going to get myself into too much of a state.

    Kap0w dropped a message on Facebook nearly a month back saying anyone with chrimia in an order should email them and they'll cancel her from the order and ship everything else, as they have no idea when or if chrimia will ever appear.

    That looks awesome. Why is that not the impactor, it's a great mould that needs some repaints.

    That's is tough. I hope things will work out for you and your family. Be strong and don't forget to look after yourself too.

    Yeah, it’s a Shapeways kit from ages ago, my own work and I really went to town on the weathering, you can’t see but he’s got a slash with dried up mech fluid around it on his left leg. Not something I do very often but Impactor isn’t the type of bot to worry about his appearance

    Thanks everyone. Old custom now, think I must have done it around 2012 or something as I made it pre Spartan

    Shame he’s not taller really

    So.....

    The latest from the Umbrella Corp is that my kidney and liver functions are significantly improved, I’m off the drip, off the oxygen - but still in the IV antibiotics.

    I’m quietly confident about being allowed home 2moro, although I don’t want to jinx it. Not sure how long before work will want me back in so I’ll have to cross that bridge when I come to it.

    At this point I’m even looking forward to seeing my wife’s dumb-ass dog...

    (Although none of you are to ever, EVER tell her I said that)

    I unashamedly like this more than Spartan. So much character! Absolutely in love with the head sculpt.

    Glad to hear you're on the up my man!
