I was seriously expecting it to be a post-Christmas delivery the way things were looking. Not out of the woods yet, though. UPS deliveries have a habit of missing their flights!

No word yet on the Sandtrooper which was charged last Thursday.

These days they travel half way around the world. Mine left Hong Kong and went to Anchorage. Hope it's on it's way here, but i very much doubt it. Probably show up in Germany next, followed by United Arab Emirates. It's definitely a 2016 thing.

You're right.

I had a look here:

Departure Flight Status - Changi Airport Singapore

UPS Flight 5X166 from Singapore is destined for Shenzen, which is all the way back to mainland China to the north of Hong Kong.



What's the point of that?

My last few figures have done that. Shenzen is also likely where HT factory is too.

 

[j14]

Mine has just left Shenzen...who knows where it will go next.

 

[Tee-Kay]

It started coming west, now it's further east than when it started.

That's not an actual package location, but the location of an 'event' - i.e., where they did the paperwork.

Hot Toys outsources their brown shipper boxing factory to other countries with excess cardboard. So the figure was temporarily boxed and shipped for final boxing. Then shipped back.









Kidding.... I think?

UPS moves in mysterious ways. Literally!


Luke's left Korea now. I wonder where he's planning to go next on his sightseeing tour of the far east?

I reckon our two Lukes are side by side in the plane drinking beers on their magical, mystical tour of Asia. These figures will have clocked up more milage than my car by the time they arrive.
