As many of you know I've been expecting a package containging Jet Falcon, Shield Liger DCS-J, and 2 Buster Cannons for awhile. To make a long story short, the Post Office screwed up MAJOR and accidently shipped them to an Abercrombie & Fitch distribution center nearby. Needless to say I had to spend 2 days calling them and the Post Office back and forth. Eventually I got tired of dealing with their idiocy and I went down there myself, got things straightened out, and got my Zoids.
I finished building my Jet Falcon today (Tomy) and I'm almost done with Shield Liger DCS-J. Jet Falcon's really cool, and a lot bigger than I expected. When placed next to Buster Eagle Jet Falcon definitely looks bigger. He has the same type of air-powered pump that Energy Liger has but it doesn't make the claws spin, just move in and out. I won't have pics on the site tonight but hopefully I'll have them up late tomorrow. Just wanted to let everyone know that I got them, and for those of you who know what I had to go through to get them, they're worth it.

This is why I use UPS when I order stuff. Of course if someone is sending you something then you really can't help it.

Fun. I've never had any trouble with the post office, but now that I'm back in college I get to climb steep snowy hills to get to Zoids, so I guess it all evens out.
Anyhow, how poseable is Jet Falcon? It only has 2 Blox iirc, so I'd image not all that much. Plus the big unit for the air pump stuff doesn't look like it helps...

Well, that beats me carrying a huge bag of the things all over the mall after buying them at KB Toys...
I had a Redler disappear into the depths of the postal system once...the seller sent another, but still...I wonder where the first Redler went.

Prolly the dead letter bin. Wow, Pheno, that's a heck of a story. My Saint Gale came easily enough, it was on my porch last friday. Hope I never have any of those problems.

Ouch. Sorry to hear, man.
I had an... amusing experience some months back. I got two huge boxes of Zoids shipped from an asain store (that will remain nameless) dumped on my doorstep; they had my address on it but not my name. The packaging was partially torn and contained a Genobreaker, amongst other things.
We tried calling around everyone in the phone book in Sydney with the same last name - none matched. So we e-mailed back the store.
They saud "no, that's the address we have for him." I said "no, we're not." He said "oh." so he went back and then managed to dig up the e-mail.
Some days later, I get an e-mail form a different Asian stre saying "yeah, we know the guy. Give us a bit." Finally, they got back to me; the guy lived in Melbourne (some 900 km away) and had an entirely different postal address.
The store asked me if I would forwards the package on to him - and then htey reimbursed me for double the cost of the postage.
And I never heard form the other guy. Weird.

I gotta say guys, this is why I don't like online shopping.
But then again, some things you just can't get on foot.

Could that be the Mystery Redler? Oh and he never bought one either I was at his house and the mail dropped off a package and he just kept it even though it wasn't exactly his lol |

I called him a jerk when he kept my Shadow Fox and built it and broke off an ear so part of the connecting part is stuck in the slot where the ear goes...
