Item still hasnt shipped and I have had no reply to my message I sent him. This is not looking good. I only bought this to cheer myself up as I am going through quite a bad time at the moment and now I have to worry about it being a scam or not. Anyone have any advice on what I should do, thanks.

I just had this arrive yesterday from Sideshow. It only shipped on Wednesday and arrived on Friday which is almost overnight shipping, only thing was that I forgot they changed to DHL and had to pay a whopping 84 euros at the door before they would give it to me. I was used to Fedex sending...

I wish I had seen this before ordering from this guy. I ordered HT's Shades from him and it stated he has 8 in stock but it has been 3 days and the item has still not been shipped. Should I be worried? Typically the next day I get an email from SS to say my WL converted and today the figure...

Waitlist converted, typically the day after I just bought it on Ebay :gah:

I had to un-glue one of the magnets on mine as I put it in backwards. I used a hairdryer to heat it up and then popped it out with a very thin screwdriver. Took a few attempts but it did pop and with no damage luckily. Only issue is the residue left on the magnet so it will have to be scraped...

:duff I checked 3 times and also marked it with a pen but still managed to get it wrong :slap

Got mine in yesterday and had the loose magnet problem, doesn't even look like they were ever glued as there was no residue on any of the parts. Had a nightmare with one magnet as I glued it in the wrong way so it was repelling the piece back out, getting that magnet back out of the shoulder...

Mine has shipped also, can't wait.

I think if you compare it to Hot Toy's figures you are getting quite good value for money. These mechs are massive and they come with a figure and lighting and a fantastic paint job. The detail and articulation is fantastic also. The price is a bit steep but I am obsessed with Mechs and...

Just picked up the Ogre, I think it is the best one out of the 3. These guys are one of the best painters in the business as their paint apps never dissapoint on any of their figures.

I have one of the gunmetal grey IM figures,nice figure and even nicer now :P

With these lights being on the back of the besta I just drilled a hole for the cable and put the wire through. I dont use the strips on the shelves normally, I use the pucks and centre them on the shelves and run the wire back to a hole I drilled behind the shelf. Best way is to use thin...

Here is a link to the lights. They come in packs of four strips but you can daisy chain more strips together. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/lighting/integrated-lighting/ledberg-led-lighting-strip-multicolour-art-70302674/

I just use a swiffer duster as it is quite soft and doesn't scratch the chrome.
