buttheadsmate Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm not sure if it's common-knowledge because I know few of you here are 'common' but many retailers buy their stock directly from the source in HK. They will buy direct & use their own independent freight-fowarders thus achieving the best deal for themselves. Great in theory but not so good in practice !

MiniOkie Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Pre-ordered my iron-man/hulk from csc, but still nothing. Have never had any problems with them before. Wonder if they still don't have em. Is there a shortage ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Did anyone else get a super rare Stealth MKIII 1in5k chase figure? Yeah so someone had to do the simple repaint... I'm broke right now so bought a single pack to tide me over when it was released until my full set arrived and when I saw a shipping notice I decided to say screw it and repaint a MKIII into stealth colours. The face mask is actually a different colour almost a metallic grey to help the detail stand out. As always metallic paint always looks better in the real world than photo's and will smooth out and gloss up a bit when I clearcoat it. T.

I'm curious does the paint in the joints every come off when you move the arms? I have had that misfortune with every custom I have tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigilante Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) I got these yesterday and I have to say that they totally rock! The detail on these really blow me away! The only problems I have are that on the Mark II and III, the extra legs don't seem to fit on the hip piece. Other than this, they are great! Has anyone made a silver centurion quick custom? Apart from the bits of gold on the gloves, back and helmet, it looks good. I can't post pics but none of you should have much trouble.

Deadpool Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Is anyone else's MKII armor missing the black dots on the helmet? Mine has none of the little bolts that he's got on his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm itching to get my hands on one of DST's imposters and see how the colors match up. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
