They're absolutely perfect, nothing wrong at all. A good rule of thumb is to never judge anything collectible related from pictures. Pics can be tricky.

Those are truly words of wisdom for collectors to live by.

Yup, just got the notice, going to be a fun weekend

 

[PharOOO]

My 2 are also set to arrive Friday! Awesome!!!

 

[Boba Ben]

As soon as it shows up at CSC, I think I'm going to buy this. Shouldn't be long if it's already shipping from Sideshow.

 

[a-dev]

I'd so love to get it tomorrow or wednesday but the pessimist (or realist) in me expects it more like friday same as you guys.

Height difference is starting to bother a bit as i plan to display him next to Bob. I have always seen the T1 as being much larger. Ok rant over!

Where's my doll.

Seems like a few people are going to be burning in the third degree this week! Maulfan is going to be caught in a photoplay! Others who won't have it, perhaps through unforeseen delays will be saying ''You can't do that! You can't do that to me!''

If my T-800 arrives by the end of next week, I'll be happy. A little classic Terminator action right before finals. Sigh...

You have the after winter break finals? In high school and college, I always had them before the break. I always thought that was a better way of doing things. You can get things out of the way and focus on enjoying the vacation instead of worrying about final exams.

 

[Rotfish]

Nope, sophomore year, and we're on a semester schedule. Finals are at the end of January and the end of the first half of June. *pulls hair out*
I'd say I enjoyed the winter break, since I got some cool new stuff, but it's always nice to enjoy a few days off without stress. Sadly, that's almost never the case here.

 

[Boba Ben]

Throughout high school we always had finals at the end of December and the End of May for each semester. I think when we were seniors we got out of school a couple of weeks before everybody else.

I'm sorry to hear about your stress. The workload can definitely do that to you. This may sound corny, but cherish your high school years. I look back at mine and kind of wish I appreciated them a little more when I was going through them.

True, true. I wouldn't so much love to be in school again as, I dunno, maybe be able to travel back through time and observe myself in school. Or to be able to become 18 and then return to my current age on a whim whenever I felt like it. 10 years ago I was 18, 10 years from now I'll be 38...why does that shock me so.

Truth be told, my parents would say the same thing about elementary school. It felt like such a pain back then, yet now, looking back on it, I can't help but wonder "Why did I hate it so much? I literally had maybe half an hour of homework per week." Sigh...

Would definitely be nice if you could go back in time to set your own self straight. Then again, even if it gets worse than this (and I know it will), still doesn't change the fact that it's a pain right now.

My waitlist got converted on this today.

I think you were right to hate it and that your thinking now is just one coloured by a nostalgia of sorts. School was day in and day out, like a full time job with no reward that you could appreciate, and it seemed never ending. It was really like having a terrible job and it began not long after birth and it continued through a huge part of your life - on either side all you could see was school behind you and school ahead of, that seemed like my entire life at the time, I hated it. Every class was like one week of work dragged out for a year, just a little tiny bit at a time. It was horrible, you must try to remember!

I look back on it and I don't understand why I found the work so much of it a bother, in hindsight it seems like it would've taken very little to become the best in the class, but still I can remember very well just why I hated it so much, all those classes, I really am very thankful to have moved on from that, to not have to read from those exercise books, sit in those classes and take notes from the board, sit while the teacher slowly reads in monotone from a book for one hour, no more of that, life is good now... I feel like a prisoner, who has done his time and is now laying on a beach drinking from a coconut with a little umbrella in it.
