This one finally arrived! Yeah!
I now have the two cousins for my Post Apocalyptic games.
A box packed full of goodies, but I am only interested in the figure!
I am hoping to finish off SHE-HULK in the next few days and then I can start this one.
Legend* – This is Aussie slang for a “bonza bloke” but can be used ironically to mean the opposite! I will leave you to make up your own mind about how I am using it!
Guru says “there is a peculiar form of irony in being ironical”.
POSTSCRIPT (two hours later):
I had no idea how true that would be!!
Aargh this model is doomed!!
I had a closer look at the sprues because I decided I would quickly put it together this morning.
The back of the head is missing!!!
I went to the Oz Games site to look up their returns process only to find that despite their name and Melbourne Postal address they are actually located in the UK and not Melbourne at all.
I am just going to return it and buy another one from a regular supplier Dave’s Games.
This explains why it took so long to get here but not why it was three times as long as another UK supplier. Apologies to Australia Post…………….. this time!
Stay away from Oz Games as their name and postal address are designed to make you think that you are buying local. The only statement I could find on their actual location was in the returns policy.
Guru says “beware of any supplier with Oz in the name as they are probably owned by the Wicked Witch of the West and staffed by Munchkins“.
Oh well I guess all I can do is take a deep breath, smile and
Tomorrow is another day.
Guru says “suffer the fool gladly, after all it may actually be you”.
Wise Words oh Wise one… total bummer on the missing part.
Gurus are not necessarily wise just Old!
After waiting all that time why not just scratch build the back, you’d do a better job than the original anyway.
Potentially John but I plan on returning it and getting my money back as a matter of principal. I was trying to give a local Melbourne supplier my business and that is why I chose them. I have used Dave’s Games from Sydney plenty of times before and happy for him to have my business. NOT Oz Games!! If I have trouble I will go via PayPal whom I have found very helpful under these circumstances, which is why I now use them exclusively for international purchases.
CU soon with some 20mm railway stuff for you. D
That was a bit of a kick in the privates mate!, though if the box was sealed the missing part may be the fault of manufacturer rather that the supplier, I can see your point though, bit naughty posing as an Aus company when you’re not!!
And I was about to blame your silly post woman (Pic you posted a while back) and say she probably broke a heel on her unsuitable shoes, and that had delayed delivery! 😊
Cheers Roger.
Ahhh we are an evil bunch aren’t we!!
More than a bit of bad luck there, Dave! Hope you can get another model soon! 🙂
Dave’s Games from Sydney have one on the way.
That’s interesting, I have bought stuff from America and it comes from a mob in one of the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne if I remember correctly!
Sorry dude
What can I say – a failure to read the fine print my friend! With some not too subtle persuasion it all worked out OK.
