Hrm, where did you get yours from?

Singapore

I meant shop? EBay seller? 'Cos if it was the same seller as Serragengar's one, that would be interesting...

I bought it from a shop in Singapore, from the Hangor off the Katoo board. I put up more pics

Dang, I hope I get a good sprue. I've been working hard to get mine.

You got it from TFH Man now I have to check mine since my trade buddy got it from there as well

[Kamadoma]

Looks bad for me. I still haven't paid, and stocks are running out. Since I'll go by money order, then it'll take longer than credit card holders, so I might have to cancel this order or risk my money.

But since my mom have paid my money, then I have to risk it. Pray that SL MK2 would come to me and that the money gets there soon.

[Tilly]

HLJ, right? If your order's in payment processing, as far as I know that means they're holding it for you until your payment gets through. I've always used credit card or PayPal, but when my PayPal payment took a few days they held my Dark Horn.

[Kamadoma]

I dunno if it's payment processing, since mom paid the bank with my money but I think it's tomorrow when she'll get the check which I will be mailing to HLJ asap. So it means I haven't paid yet. I hope they hold it for me.

[Tilly]

What status does it show on your order when you log in? If they gave you a total, I would think that means it's in processing...

Yea, I got it from them. Here's a better pic of the missing peg:

Lately my order has been in bad condition since we had a hard time mailing it, especially that they didn't accept mailing without HLJ's phone number, my mother said they go mail it and hold onto it if they can't find the place for mailing the check, but now I've got HLJ's phone number, so everything is lookin' good, all I need to do is wait and see if the check makes it or if DHL can't track the place, I'll give HLJ's phone number.

Well, got mine from Amenbo yesterday (Canada, SAL shipping). I still need to gloss over the sprue marks, but I took a few quick pics for size comparison:

First off, here's the CP pegs Al was commenting on. They seem intact on mine, although the part where the cap connects the cp to the frame is loose. The guns tend to sag if they get moved around too much:



Here's a regular 3/4 shot. I found the model quite pleasant to build, as everything fit together pretty nicely. The head wobbles a bit, but no biggy. The instructions were a bit vague, as it lists the part numbers but not what sprues they come from:



Front shot. The only moulding error I came across is on the weapon hardpoint knob on the left side of the head (well, right side from the camera view here). A little bit of excess plastic was filling the small circular gap aroudn the knob, so I had to cut it out:



Here's MKII along with some other ligers for size comparison (I'm going to run out of shelf space when Hayate and those other new liger CPs come out..uhgh):



And just for fun, a little lineup of the ligers:

[Andy F²]

Yeah, the guns on mine are loose too. I shoulda mentioned that.

[Alteka]

I'm guess it's probably common in all of 'em, then :\.

Oh, almost forgot - nice little touch on the box flaps. Never looked too closely at the japanese release boxes.. perhaps this is standard:

[Tilly]

My Kingliger's box has those flaps too...seems to be an OJR thing.

My Mk.II's waiting for me, ready to be built...and far as I know from looking at the CP-01, complete. But Deadborder wants attention first...can you blame it? It's been GLOWING all this time I've been gone at night, wanting to be free...

*twitch*

Oh, and I LOVE the use of black springs as replacement for the melty tubes. Almost the same look, no ruined plastic.

[Charlie]

Just got mine from Amenbo. Hooray, the pegs are there. The black spring coils are also great.
