    Fingers crossed it eventually shows up even so, as happened with the final packages I sent with them of stuff I sold to two threadizens which they ultimately said were lost.
    After I had refunded the threadizens of course... fortunately they were both reasonable sorts who refunded my refund to me when the thing showed up.

    Is this a command, if so I think I may have completed this mission accidentally.

    They are a-holes! Three parcels I’ve got from ShowZ have been released from customs and handed off to Evri yesterday. I won’t deny I’m a little nervous given how they took your parcel and have either lost or stolen it. This is the trouble nowadays nobody steps up and takes ownership or responsibility for their actions. I’d get crucified in my line of work. I have no opportunity to pass the back or deflect on to others. Makes my blood boil. Put in a complaint to them Brendan. Let that play out.

    I'm definitely in for the rumoured Silverbolt, and look forward to seeing what an updated Tigerhawk looks like. BW mad energy and how cool/odd some designs look is a big factor in whether I pick them up. :) 

    I know I seem to say this about pretty much every new truck mold but maybe Nova/Sentinel Prime? Or failing that Thunderclash somehow?

    I hope so.

    The package definitely got handed off to them once it cleared customs last month, I know that much from the tracking info after @SJW helped me locate what carrier had it. Yet now they're suspiciously ignoring all that and just sent a standard "sorry we can't find it, get back to your retailer" message so they're totally passing the buck to Show Z Store :mad: 

    @SJW,
    I'm just looking for the complaint section on their site.

    I was talking to a guy who works at the local PO this morning and he'd got nothing good to say about Evri either. They're a joke.

    Yeah, the cab shape is almost old fashioned though, and those back wheels....makes you wonder why they didn't use ER Prime. Something MUST be afoot....

    In all these years I don't think it's a coincidence that the first BBTS parcel DHL ever lost (with currently rare MOTU items in it) magically had a tracking number disappear once I started asking questions.

    The giveaway was that they didn't even send me a proper reply, it was canned bullshit that was copy & pasted :mad: 

    My parents are equally pissed off because it was my Christmas present from them and I'm now worried about future packages getting handed off to Evri.

    Yes, there are people in the world with far worse things to deal with but shitty service is shitty service and it's not on.

    Show Z Store have in the past been helpful with spare parts requests so maybe they'll come to the rescue but it shouldn't really be on them to resolve it.

    Thanks for this, I’m still waiting on my Sonner order (that’s never coming) and this is such a good price, I was worried that as its a bit of a mish mash what you find in each of the stores and it wasn’t online, that I might miss out.

    So I just came across this pic of diaclone grimlock and his pants be blue. Anyone know if the diaclone dinobots were different colours to g1? Or is it a diaclone lambor scenario where there were just lots of colours?

    I still suspect this was supposed to be the Amazon Prime but that deal fell through and so they hastily threw this together to still use the license.

    Also in case I don't get back on before you lot have posted through page 20000... let's party like it's 19999! :music :rock :drunk

    ....green giant!

    Just me?

    Your emotionally charged shenanigans entertain me.

    I don't know whether to cry for the amount of shizzle I have mid-post at the moment, or for my off-Uni daughter who might get the truck reversing up our front garden to pour it onto her at any moment...or maybe mid-January...

    Laters

    Somehow tempted by that butt-ugly Metroplex at that price too, although he would never get to hold his weapon/scoop/spork thing, as it is that bit that truly irks me somehow.

    Laters again.

    Oh, here's what happens when you surmise that the two out of favour OS KO Headmasters you own could maybe fill in for a missing OS Terrorcon limb...or two...

    IMG_20221220_002037_0.jpg

    Oh, and I haven't had the 'we don't do parts really, despite what we said' VS e-mail yet, or the part they said they'd get me either....ho hum.

    Laters3
