Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)
I think this shouldn't be a problem as it's covered from all sides and the mail order company will not care for the "correct" side as well. Anyway, as it seams this beast is a little fragile, you could just flip it on the bottom the next time you are at home.
But I think there's no need to panic.

Actually I've been meaning to ask this here, as mine's been in box, standing on the usual orientation that is the item on its side, for almost a month since I got it. I might have the shelf for it done in another month or so. Having the box lying down to have the car in all fours is not possible space-wise atm.
Anyone else who's got the TUmbler in-box for longer, box standing up? Won't the unequal weight distribution put much pressure on the side facing down?

Why not the same, and weight / size. VHS/Beta tape had to be turned every so often. About 3x a year. I did have a problem with just maybe 10 if that.

Another month to wait...
Oh nice spot and light
I am thinking of extending the top depth of my expedite as well like this so I can fit larger pieces.

My last flex payment is christmas day. Really wish I could afford to pay this off earlier but no chance with the other stuff I got on order.

What kind of lighting do you have there?? I'm trying to figure out a good way to light my case...

I've been trying for weeks. They're not doing the last payment until they get the new shipment so you might not be waiting too long anyway.

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)
Yeah, that's true. I probably couldn't afford it before then anyway. Got dx12 and bat pod coming in December anyway so gonna be tight. Then dx11 early next year probably. Will be kind of relieved once its all over so I don't have to worry about paying anything out for a little while. Just hope they don't unveil the batman returns figures for a while.

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)
I was going to say, before reading the last line, that the Returns will probably be announced officially next month!
I have the pod and a Gordon arriving this week at my shop. I went there on Saturday, and my DX12 and DX7 were both waiting.
The Tumbler now has a permanent occupant in my display. I gave Bruce the big light up gun from the DX12 and have him climbing out holding it. I modeled the set up from the HT shot of the Tumbler with Bats climbing out. I tried that with my Begins, but it wasn't going to happen.

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)
It's not quite finished (if you look closely you can see the left side of the case isn't fitted on properly). The lighting is just ikea dioders with homemade shades. The wires are hidden in the base. It does overlap over the top of the shelves quite a bit, but is better than taking up floor space, and I think it will look great if the Tumbler ever turns up...

Re: Hot Toys The Dark Knight: Batmobile - Tumbler (relaunch)
Yeah, I was hoping that I could just finish collecting with the TDKR line, as its just getting too expensive. So thought I could go all out and get the tumbler and bat pod. But I really don't think I'll be able to resist the returns line. It was probably my favourite film growing up and I just don't think I could pass it up, even if its just on principle.
then of course there's the Arkham city batman. Which I feel is pretty much the definitive interpretation, so that would be another must. Huff.
That sounds like a really cool display though, batman climbing out of the tumbler with the EMP gun. Any pics of the set up?

That's just tough on you.
The guy who owns HT is down to his last ten Ferraris and needs more sales to get another ten.

I'm displaying DX12 standing beside it.
I'll just pretend it's The BAT.

Hmm, actually quite tempting.
Will be a cool display. I'm thinking OC batman with the tumbler and dx12 with the batpod.
