buttheadsmate Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm just an old guy & I have trouble understanding stuff but WTF is this all about ? http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kw...254197&sr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Um, it's a website. I thought you'd figured that out by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks for that I was referring to the Pre-Orders that will ship by the 24th. .....perhaps it's me ? It's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) If they really ship it on the 22nd, it'll be at my house by the 24th. But having said that, I'm only a few hours away from the Distribution Center they ship my stuff from. It's hard to believe that 2 days is enough time to damage, mispack and poorly pack product and still get it there quickly. Of course, finding the product on their eBay account here sure does throw some doubt in there...

Punisher Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I got the MC/Arbiter and Reach set. I love these! Also, washes help A LOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Nice pics link-do you have the TRU version to do any side by side shots? Edited December 20, 2010 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I recall, years ago ,getting my single-packed Cylons & literally blowing a gasket because "the f*ckers have swapped out the short-packed 'Battle-Damaged ' f*ckers" . I was totally convinced that I was the victim of some nefarious scam & it was only later that I was just about able to discern the 'battle-damage' on the BD versions This has been par for the course with virtually everything we've seen damaged & muddy in further single packs , the BSG ships & Max vehicles . The differences are very very subtle although a decent photographer (anybody other then me ) may succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link 46 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nice pics link-do you have the TRU version to do any side by side shots? Unfortunately not. It didn't really seem to necassasary to me since I ordered this one, but now that I think about it I might go back and pick it up because I also want to see if they got the halo reach pack back in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I do appreciate the difference between the original release of these sets and everyone's 'washed' versions. I am thinking I might attempt this myself, but I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone who has done this with success share their techniques? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I am thinking I might attempt this myself, but I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone who has done this with success share their techniques? I would really appreciate it. Thanks! I just did my first wash ever last night (on Master Chief - pics soon). Citadel makes washes, you can buy them pre-mixed. Otherwise, I believe it's, like, 6 parts water + 1 part paint, or something? It's gotta be super watered down. Then, you just paint over the whole thing, and the wash sorta runs off & into the cracks & crevices, and when it dries, it looks all dirty & battle-worn. It's the coolest thing! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthFLGuy Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 These just showed up at my TRU today. I was disappointed that Johnson didn't come with the shotgun. Hopefully we'll start to see more weapons soon. Everyone packing the basic assault rifle is looking a bit boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I do appreciate the difference between the original release of these sets and everyone's 'washed' versions. I am thinking I might attempt this myself, but I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone who has done this with success share their techniques? I would really appreciate it. Thanks! I used some black acrylic paint from Wal-mart, heavily watered down and brushed on the figures. I'd say Tenime's about right on the proportions, you want a lot more water than paint in the mix. Also had some paper towel handy to soak up the extra from spots where too much pooled. It's really easy to do, and worst case if it doesn't look right you have a little bit of time where you should be able to wash it all off and start over.

minijeff Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I just got my shipping notice for two of the packs as well. Also, the comic shop 4-pack and Army Builders are arriving today. I am curious to see pics of these sets, especially the singles I am on the fence with the Halo stuff...dont play the games, but the mates look nice...I will get the warthogs, including the newly announced Arctic one(should make for some fun pics here in the winter) and may get the marines since they can sub for various soldiers but not sure about the actual armored characters or other characters Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
