Rainmans 'Killer A'

[eighthsamurai]

Mine is moving on the 11th day but the f__kers have hit me with charges! So for the pleasure of keeping me waiting this long they reward me with charges

Never had charges before on a Rainman figure

sorry to hear that, but i think you've been lucky this far, man. i've been hit the last 3 times i think. i got lucky this time, but was fully expecting to pay.

the VAT is usually forgivable, kinda like "ok you got me this time" but that ridiculous processing fee from either royal mail or parcelforce pisses me off every time.

I haven't been hit with a customs fee from Rainman yet either but this one isn't looking good , especially with " inappropriate invoice " being the reason given for holding it.

inappropriate invoice? makes it sound like rainman just wrote "f### you. mr. customs man!" on it

kinda sucks, tay - seemed fitting you get this before anyone else.

Yes that is what pisses me off the most as well. Hope it is only £20 quid or so.

should be. mine have always been around that or just over. that's assuming he writes the same value for H+C sets and full figs, which i think he does.

that's a small blessing i suppose. imagine if he put the full price on there that's like an extra £130-140 per figure or something.

" Damn , it was so hard processing that parcel, I think I need about 20 quid to recover from that ! ".

Yeah I am expecting £20 or so, I can swallow that. Anyway how do I pm you these days?

Rainman declared them at $50 + the shipping charge is like $40. You'll get hit with approx £12 in customs charges then a £13.50 handling fee on top of that. They get me all the time I'm usually pretty good at working out how much there gonna skin me on everything I order lol.

Anyone have an extra H+C set? I had to give up my set back when it was secured, but I need it again.

 

[PopCultKid]

Oh man..! Up late (around 3 a.m. my time) and just had to play around with my Anton. I don't think I'll have much time on Valentine's Day otherwise..! Tried futzing with him and added some padding to his torso and shoulder areas as well as his thighs. Just some ghetto style mods for now that hopefully look okay without having to get another body. Just had some fun taking pics and playing with the light & shadows on Anton!

He looks awesome Marlo. Nice shots! You're ghetto rig is working. He looks filled out and balanced

 

[MarfMaster]

That pad job does indeed look awesome, kudos!

hey, i have the clothing set, and then bought the head, not the combo, same thing, i just had to pay $50 more in the total.....let me know...thanks.,.

 

[mightyq]

Yeah guys I don't know what I should do from here? I'm not going to harass him constantly but how long should i wait before I push him a little more?

I was pretty pissed off at his response. I'm not going to lie. Amd the longer wirhout the follow up is gettig me more upset. Even though it was a gift and all if he doesn't come through for me I'm going to be very pissed off and I think I have a right to be, just because I didn't pay for it does not mean I wouldn't have.

Not to mention that I've given him thousands of dollars of my business already, I own about 80 percent of his figures.

ray, just to get this straight, RM forget about the contest you won and what you were getting for the win? how is that possible with so much exposure for the contest..if thats the case,,,,,good luck pal, that really stinks...

Yes when I got my box and opened it just the head was there not the clothing set.

I emailed him to let him know and he was quick to respond he said he was surprised and questioned if he mixed up and sent a third place winner my set. But he said "don't worry I have HC set i will get back to you ASAP". I didn't hear for him for about 5 or 6 days so i gently followed up asking if he found out what happened and if he could or was planning on sending me the clothing set and he just replied "UM?"

And nothing else. I asked him more directly and no response. This is when I started to get upset about the whole thing. Maybe it's a cultural barrier but that's the worst response in the world.

If i don't hear from him by tomorrow I'm going to ask more directly and tell him, if he's not already reading this, that his last response got me upset. Rainman can take all the time in the world that he needs to rectify it that's not a problem with me, mistakes happen and I'm totally cool about that, I just want to know what's going on

I know I was graciously awarded a gift and i didn't have to pay, so I feel like a jerk for pushing the issue but it's still not fair. I wanted the set and wold have bought it like everyone else. What if he mixed up a paid order would i get the same treatment? I doubt it. So basically i feel kinda screwed over, i would have gladly paid for a set had I not won the contest.

Its a cultural barrier man and as badly as you want your clothing set just be a little bit more patient. Rainman will come through in the end.

Yea Ray, I totally get how that response cold rub you the wrong way but I definitely think that the language barrier is a big part of that.

You're right to be annoyed because you could've just paid for one instead of being empty handed

 

[Raymond F.]

That's what I'm hoping guys, just a cultural/language barrier. We will see.

That's exactly it Pop which is why it feels like an extra screw over (not that Rainman was screwing me over at all, but just that I got screwed) because i would have been on the ball and got a set just like I have with every other Rainman set i wanted when the preorder went up.

But instead I didn't even ay attention to the preorder date, I was happy knowing it was coming, honored to be selected and feeling good that it meant someone else who wanted one would get one.

 

[vareika]

RM will come through. Also, many of us are aware of the situation and if needed we coukd probably get his attention one way or another.

 

[Raymond F.]

Thanks for your support guys, i really appreciate the community!

Hey vareika, does that DAM body use Hot Toys pegs for the wrists, ankles, and neck?
