{ Roman General } ACI Toys 1/6 Warriors ACI08 *Anniversary Product*2012 Coming

[Wake]

I ordered through timewalker, they haven't received theirs

Same for 1 of mine. The other I have PO'ed with BBTS. Nothing either.

That better not happen, as it would set a precedent to USA buyers against ACI

well i think this has already sorta started with all these peeps waiting for their orders in the US... this has certainly left a bad taste in MY mouth already... such a shame 2 cause their Gladiator line looks really frikken good..

 

[grphyx1]

Oh it definitely looks bad. I cancelled my Prixcius figure. The ankles on the others were getting lose and the figures kept toppling over if you put them in any kind of action stance

 

[abake]

Well, hope springs eternal and all that...
I'll just wait patiently.

by others do u mean Spartacus/Flamma?

 

[grphyx1]

Flamma. i have put him in a very boring standing pose. Kept knocking every thing over. Took Spartacus out and got irritated with the joints and using the hair dryer.

[koolop]

damn.. now thinking of canceling Priscus... 2 bad cause that chainmail looks pretty good..

 

[LordAzrael]

Did you try the super glue trick on the ankle ball ?

 

[grphyx1]

What's that?

I had him in a basic pose below and he did fall over. I learned and moved the figures from in front for a few days just to make sure he would stay standing he didn't.

DON'T!!! I want to see what it looks like and how it holds up.

I for one am losing my patience with 7+ month pre-orders, unfortunately if you don’t you won’t be able to pick it up. To add the vendor I pre-ordered has gone silent on the responses too. Not looking good, fingers crossed it comes through.

why not use a stand?

 

[siquisiri]

Can you imagine that BS? I pre-ordered mine May of 2012. 13 months ago!

 

[siquisiri]

I posted something on ACI's FB page.
This is the response i got......

IT's supposed to be arrived in US port this month. Please kindy wait! Apologies!

 

[Texlander]

Been hearing that for months. Like you I'm still waiting.

 

[abake]

Timewalker's newsletter the General was on their Upcoming Arrivals section at the bottom of the page.
Let's hope.

 

[grphyx1]

Was contemplating it. We'll see. I may need the space for other figures that shipped with their own stands. The funny thing is you have to use a hairdryer to loosen the shoulders and elbow joints and to remove the hands to change, but the ankle joint is so eff'n loose

why not use a stand?

 

[grphyx1]

Brian from ACI is actually really nice, and very good about communicating. This debacle I can't explain?

thass ok though, for me a tight joint is always better than a loose.. i saw a page back Lord Azrael suggesting the superglue trick. U basically put a coat of super glue (or nail polish) on the peg that goes into the legs or feet dependng on which fits loose then let it dry thoroughly. end result is a thicker peg & tighter fit to the foot. if its still loose, rinse & repeat... dunno if it would work on the ankle ball though... its attached to the other half & would prolly stick together if u tried to drop a drop of glue in there. i would just buy a new ankle joint at that point. hope that helps.
