I see that the US stores (bigbadtoystore, TFsource, TCP, Toydojo) don't seem to have it available. Anyone know if they're received it and are sold out, or just haven't received?

 

TCP and ToyDojo received their stock, and have sent them over to their customers.

 

They must be sold out then.

 

There is a second wave coming soon. Don't know if any of the US sellers will get it. I know ShowZ is getting a second bath and it will have the permanent leg fix.

 

According to Toy Dojo, they are waiting on an additional shipment of Sheridan (the first one they got was apparently only partial fulfillment) that is currently held up in China, but it appears that this second shipment is sold out. I have a pending order with them and I asked them this very question as I was concerned I’d ordered a “ghost” product and that was what they told me.

 

Seven to ten days according to my seller

 

Mine arrived (From TFSafari), and I cracked it open tonight. Legs are intact. Might be a ticking time bomb, I guess.

 

Looks like I'm able to cancel my order overseas. I signed up with Terry's Club and ordered Sheridan. Now I just have to wait a few more weeks to get him. I can wait. TCP should ship Iceman any day now and he will be in hand a few days later. Sweet.

 

Got my second tank in.

 

@ali tavakoly is that for the US?

A China seller on eBay.

 

Man, am I glad I payed for this last year for $75 shipped.

 

I hear you. Got it for $70 with an ebay flash sale.

 

Just checked with my seller, eBay, mine will be the 2nd batch. Just a matter of waiting.

 

Finally got my replacement screw from @ToyDojo (what a bitch to install). Loving Sheridan overall.

 

great pic!!

 

Any words of advice? I'm waiting on my screw to arrive. Assuming you prolly thread it in and out on the loose leg before trying to screw it togther? Looks like once the leg is in place you can't really get a straight down shot on it with a screw driver?

Also mine just had one leg fall off. So far.. What are the odds the other will just randomly fall off later?

 

The problem is you have to angle your driver due to the construction of the leg (also can't be disassembled due to pins). I used a Wiha driver set that has a skinny ~6" extension piece that makes it a little easier to keep the bit straight. Even with a perfectly fit bit, it can slip and strip the screw especially when you have to torque the last few turns. It's necessary to get the screw in tight so the head doesn't get in the way of the wheel piece. After all is said and done my leg is still a little loose, but I didn't want to chance tightening any more.

If I had to do this again, I would also lay a fat rubberband over the screw head before using the driver. This should give it more grip and less of a chance to strip out.

 

With a bit of finagling it is possible to get a nearly straight down shot with the screwdriver: You've got to use the rotation of the lower leg pieces and the ankle tilt. Even with that, it was still difficult to get the screw as tight as I wanted. I was eventually able to get it pretty good, but the screw was definitely on the verge of being stripped.

I still haven't seen anyone on here say that their right leg fell off. But on mine the right leg is just a bit wobbly. If it's going to fall off I hope it'll happen now while the screws are still available...
