Haha no, not yet! Just got home from work but hopefully later tonight when it’s nice and quiet

In the mean time, Stewart Murray took the head off and is also planning a custom cape

Hi @Gipetto0812,
I've tried contacting Stewmurray47 on instagram but didn't get a reponse. I'm not on facebook so wanted to ask if someone would be kind enough to hook me up with them so I can get on their list for the custom 1/3 Superman cape? I've offered to supply the accurate artwork for the embroidery of the emblem on the back of the cape so hopefully I can help him out with his project if I can make contact with him somehow.

Please can anyone help me to get in on Stewart Murray's 1:3 cape upgrade for the JND Superman? Thanks in advance!

DM me your contact info to pass along to him to connect the two of you. I'm not on FB often, but I will send him a message on FB for you when I get a chance.

DM sent. Many thanks! That would be great

@TexasFi3nd - Did JND get back to you about the paint flaw on the arm of your statue? Have you had to ship the whole statue back to them?

Yes, They're giving me a new replacement. They asked me to return the statue only(not the base) and provided me with the return shipping label. I shipped it back to JND last Thursday and it was delivered to them yesterday in Korea. Now I'm just waiting to hear what the next step will be. Hopefully they'll ship the new replacement this week.

This is so awesome. This photo is complete with Geoffrey Unsworth soft focus to really sell it! Great stuff

Received my $45 customs tax bill from Fed Ex today for the Superman Duo- a couple dollars more than WW JL Platinum.

I assume you mean $450 otherwise that's a dream come true! LOL

 

[TexasFi3nd]

I asked JND about the turnaround time for my replacement to ship and their response was anywhere from 2 weeks to two months. 2 weeks is fine but the possibility of waiting 2 months is crazy. I would think they'd have a contingency plan in place by having extra inventory to cover situations like this. it won't be more than 2 weeks.

JND wouldn’t allow you to hold onto the defective statue until the replacement ships?

Like a tard, I didn't think of asking that until after i had already shipped it back.

$45.71 to be exact.

Should it be a lot more? How much was your tax?

 

[cking]

People have been paying several hundred dollars. Mine is probably going to be about £400 British Pounds!

 

[Gipetto0812]

Yea, got my tax bill from FedEx as well for the same price as @sabin23

I'm pretty surprised b/c my Cavill Superman bill cost more at around $76. I would've though this was going to hit me a lot harder given the size and weight of the Reeve set vs Cavill Sups. Happy either way b/c I was expecting at least to be over $100.

Not trying to brag, but I also received my tax invoice from FedEx and it said the amount I owed was zero $ . I'm not complaining but makes me kinda worry there's an error or something. With my luck, I'll probably get double billed when JND ships my replacement back to me... whenever that will be.

I guess you guys in the US must have more relaxed import charges compared to us in the UK (or a higher allowable value before tax is charged).
When the UK customs calculate the taxes on a package arriving into the UK, they inexplicably INCLUDE the shipping cost as part of the taxable value that they calculate on the amount owed.

JND shipped my replacement today. I'm more excited to receive it now than I was the first time it was delivered.

Anyways, this is probably a long shot, but I'm hoping to find someone selling their Clark Kent. If anyone knows someone who's looking to part ways with their JND CK please let me know.

I think @cking mentioned maybe parting ways with the Clark Kent portion

Got it. I remember seeing a post about possibly selling their CK, just couldn't remember who it was. I'll see if he chimes in or reach out to him directly. Thanks Gipetto.
