    I still don't get the new name choice. Grabuge.

    That's just dumb IMO.

    He looks okayish I guess?

    Ruckus did not pass the naming Trademark, so they went with his name that he was released under in the UK. That way it is the same character.

    Hope that helps.

    Yeah, French Candian name, I think? I'll still be calling him Ruckus though...

    We prefer each figure have it's own thread, otherwise when the 3rd or 4th figures arrive, we'd have to either link to the beginning of the thread, and people would have to weed their way through, or we would link to the middle of a thread, which could also cause confusion. This way, when the new thread arrives, the conversation just naturally moves from the prior thread to the new thread...

    I think just four more. Impactor and his buddy can share a thread.

    Oh, I'm certainly not criticizing how this site handles things. And my apologies for talking too much how the other site does. I was just trying to say the philosophy is different.

    Got my garbage in! Surprisingly he smells better than anticipated. I think I'll call it Ruckus.

    Well I got this guy in the mail a day early.

    Won't go into too much detail since I just put up a thread on him in the feedback forums but am I the only one with QC issues?

    No worries at all, you can talk about how they do it all you want, I was just clarifying why we do it differently for those who wondered. :)

    What issues are you havin? Only one I have is the one that's common with the pickup truck mold and that's the fact that the legs don't like to stay pegged together in arm mode.

    Well besides that when I unpeg the right leg it is very loose compared to the others I have, the left arm does not peg into place in truck mode, and the axe does not hold well in the left hand. I went into more detail I think in my review on the feedback page.

    Yes, it would be dumb if it were a completely new name for him. But since it was his name in the 1980s in one or two countries, its sort of acceptable for him. It helps that Grabuge is French for the word ruckus. His Hungarian name was Zorej, which means noise. Its just for the packaging, keep calling him Ruckus.

    Maybe...

    Just got him from my postman. Very nice surprise and an awesome looking figure. Only issues I can report with mine is tighter than usual shoulder joints and minor silver pain on right knee cap, otherwise, I'm still glad I subscribed for this set.

    Got mine today and I'm really impressed! After Needlenose's paint job being super awesome, I was expecting to feel slightly disappointed with Ruckus, but he looks great too! I'm super happy with 4.0 so far.

    I may be wrong...but...I thought the 18th was the 5.0 final day for payment...no reason it can't be both though...I guess...

    From the club website re: TFSS 5.0:
    It has been pointed out that this is ambiguous (end of the day on the 25th, when it switches over to the 26th, or end of the day on the 26th, when it's technically the 27th? Smart money is on the latter), but it's never been the 18th.
