Just received my packs 7 & 8 and I agree uglywolf, much better packaging, no damage. Well done Agora. Happy Holidays to all the good folks at Agora and on the forum. wyatt

Just had an email from Agora. The shipment for Pack 7 & 8 is ready for UPS pickup. Hopefully get them before Xmas day. Well done Agora. Have patience folks.

I haven't started on my T-800 yet but I'm always on the look out for detail/upgrade parts. So here is a fix for the tenon wobble in the legs for those who don't have the means/desire to scratch build something for it. Get the combo pack and save a bit. With tracking US $23.02 total for shipping. They have a video on their product page showing the install. World of Wayne also has a vid. Hope it helps . Just ordered mine. They are also doing a Plasma rifle kit which isn't out yet. wyatt

Pack 5 arrived for me and it was beat up also. One corner torn and the left and right ends of the top were not taped down. If anybody in the delivery chain wanted to they could reach in and take anything. Lucky for me everything was intact and accounted for. Really need to add more tape and maybe stiffer cardboard. For me it was UPS almost to me then handed off to the US postal service for delivery. It did make it here very quickly this time. So that was a plus. Getting better.

For those interested, the Hatchette 1/32 Hogwarts Express subscription has started in Europe. Interesting that it trialed in Japan but for sale in Europe. Oh well. Big drawback for me is the 2 1/2 year (30 months) subscription period. No thanks. If anybody across the pond starts this please share with us. Hurricane coming tonight. Batten down the hatches! https://hogwartsexpress.hachettepartworks.com/

Well, swat my hind with mellon rind. One hour after my last post I received a tracking number for pack 4. And, it's with UPS !!!!!!. Yea !!!!!! Very wise decision, thank you.

Pack 4 for me was charged on July 29. Aug. 8 was notified it would ship from Florida within 10 days. 25 days after being charged, no Pack 4. How is that the fault of the USPS. As I've stated before, UPS or FedEx would be the way to go but regardless of shipper, the package has to be given to the carrier. At least an explanation for the delay would be reasonable.

I received my Pack 3 in the new box (no pretty blue interior though) and it was heavy duty. It will take concentrated effort to damage these. A recent email notification informed me that Pack 4 is being shipped from Florida. So good news for US customers. Icing on the cake will be if Agora has chosen FedEx or UPS over the postal system. I'll update when I get the tracking number. Stay safe and healthy. wyatt

On a positive note, I just received Pack three. A big thank you!! to Agora management for the new shipping boxes. Very stout and secure. Well done!! The blue boxes were very attractive but just couldn't hold up to the rigors of the postal services. Now, with UPS, FedEx or DHL it will be perfect. wyatt

Absolutely love the pictures James! Thank you for your efforts. wyatt

General Lou, I would like to make a suggestion to Agora decision makers if you could pass it on please. When the T-800 starts shipping here in the US please use UPS or FedEx as the shipper. It has been my experience that they are more reliable than the US postal system. The tracking system actually works and I know the package will get delivered. From an end user point of view this would provide great peace of mind. Thank you. Stay healthy, calm and safe, wyatt

You're off to a great start James. Great pics and thanks for sharing.

Just received tracking number for Pack 2. Shipping from the UK.

That's not a good thing to hear. My package is still in limbo after leaving the UK 7 days ago. I've been charged for Pack 2. Be interesting to see how long that one takes. World of Wayne is in the UK and I believe he's working with Agora, so his packs will be perfect. Fingers crossed the packs arrive soon and in good shape.

Greetings folks, Just saw that Wayne, from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnqD64BMSRW6S8phmT1gohw/videos has started his second build of a Terminator T-800 kit. This time from Agora Models. Looks like he's working with Agora to do this build which is a great idea, as Wayne is easy to listen to and does a fantastic youtube channel. Check him out as he has done a complete video of Pack 1 build that all of us will be receiving soon. Another site I'd like to recommend for tips and hints is https://myterminatort800.com/build/ Very well laid out website and he's up to Issue 50. H
