Hot Toys – MMS272D08 – Iron Man 3: 1/6th scale Hot Rod (Mark XXII)

[Brainiac]

The problem is the bill. All that coming thru in 2 weeks maybe? I have 5 figures in holding. It helps when you can space them out over 2 months or so. But 2 weeks is gonna burn the plastic.

Hot Rod is diecast That will survive

 

[chris rankin]

Glad you finally got your figures.

Cheers, you and me both

My Fiancé went round to all the neighbours on our block and the stupid idiot 2 doors down has had it in her house all this time. She came through the door with it in her hands and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. According to the neighbour they though we were on holiday and were waiting for us to come and pick it up but I had no idea it was there as the post office didn't put a notice through my door and besides I was at home all day and no one came to the door so they must have delivered it to the wrong address. Their house number is 13b and mine is 13d so it could be possible. I have had to send a very apologetic message to Timcent and I feel like such an idiot. My fiancé went to town on the neighbour as they have caused so much trouble and I will be contacting th PO tomorrow and giving them an earful. I might get some sleep tonight as I never got any last night for worrying about it. Apologies for clogging up the thread also with my garbage.

Good deal I'm sure you feel totally at ease I'm glad you at least found your armor finally customs released my igor and hot rod so im going to grab them in a couple hours...hopefully customs dont hold my rose hill Tony and Tony with arc reactor/cap shield when they arrive next week

I am not aware of the events that have transpired but besides Timcent, I think you owe your neighbours an apology too. They aren't at fault for thinking you were away and ultimately, they did show up with your figure. If it's anyone who should be at the receiving end of your wrath, it should be the postal authorities.

This bothers me that I have that space in between the hands and wrist, am I being nitpicky??is mine flawed? Should they be flush
Could someone that has one confirm this? All the other armors have mesh right there in that space



LEFT PEG SPACE NOT AS BAD


RIGHT PEG SHOW WITH ARROWS MORE NICEABLE SPACE

Yes you are being nit picky. It might possibly be flawed but is it really that big of a deal. If you pose it and stick it on a shelf I can guarantee that you will not be worried about it once you next figure arrives.


I think too many people on this forum are way to critical of these toys.

These are not masterpiece one offs, they are mass produced toys that by all accounts they are 1000% better then any previous options.

I might be a bit of a hermit but I'd never be happy that someone unexpectedly signed for my mail for me...and then held on to a package with no notification either.

I'd chew out my neighbor way more than the post office.

I dig what you saying that's why I posted to see if I was tripping..the thing is I have one on order from Sideshow but this one I paid nearly double for... at retail no prob nearly double I want to make sure I'm good.....as far as it being a toy it stopped being a toy 400 bucks ago

Maybe the socket of the hand isn't deep enough? try a hand from a different figure

That's what bothered me also, I would have thought that the parcel would have to be signed for by the name that was on it and not just anybody as it defeats the purpose of registered delivery. I still blame the neighbour as well as the PO as if it were me I would have checked periodically to see if they were home. It was in their house for over 2 weeks and they have to walk past our house to get to their car. Anyway it doesn't matter now as it's here and it is a lesson learned for me.

Got a 5-7 week delay notice for this guy. Not surprised.

Yep... Means we will see him in 7 - 9 weeks.

Been reading this thread for about a week now, right after my wait list converted a month after I placed it. NRD was charged 4 days ago and moments ago SS sent email stating approx. 2 month till I get my Hot Rod. Crossing my fingies he's problem free. Now just missing Gun Metal Mark 3 from 2008... Forgetabbotit!

I got SSC processing e-mail ' Hot Rod will be in our warehouse in the future...someday, then we will ship him to you'...

I don't think they really need to send these if they are only going to follow up with the 14 - 21 day e-mails....

Exactly. It was the PO's responsibility that the package is being signed by someone who isn't authorized to receive the package unless specified.

Got my email today also for the 5-7 week wait. I'm happy to get it so I know my order is in as I'm from Australia and we have difficulties getting items somedays.

 

[Agentofchaos]

Yep got that delayed mail finally. I have no room at the moment in my display for it anyway so no rush here

I got that for $300 about a year and a half ago..... and stupidly sold it for $1000... big freakin mistake :
