Hello neace40. I'm currently subscribed to the T800 and waiting for pack 11. I'm in the US also and here's what you can expect. Agora will charge your card, there will be a week or more delay before they put it in the Royal Mail. The UK mail will dispatch it pretty quick to the US. Once on this side of the pond is where things slow down. Here's the tracking, so far, for pack 11 on the USPS site: June 2, 2021, 12:03 pmProcessed Through FacilityISC CHICAGO IL (USPS) Your item has been processed through our facility in ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS) at 12:03 pm on June 2, 2021. Origin Post is Preparing Shipment May 26, 2021, 6:20 amProcessed Through FacilityLANGLEY HWDC, UNITED KINGDOM May 25, 2021, 4:33 pmAcceptanceUNITED KINGDOM It has been in limbo since June 2nd. Is it held up by Customs, lowest possible priority paid for by sender or someone at the USPS doesn't like the look of the box? The next update will say it's in New York, then Dallas, one or two stops more, then Houston and finally my doorstep. This is how it usually happens. It's frustrating, yes, so a little patience or you'll get gray hair. Now the solution is for Agora to use UPS or FEDEX only (for packages) and leave the USPS for letters. But that probably won't happen. I've received packages from the UK via UPS and it breezes to my happy self, no limbo or Twilight Zone. It can be a long wait, but it's worth it. Hang in there. wyatt

Wow Steve, that is a brilliant piece of work. The base is really well done. You get my vote for 'Agora Build of the Year' wyatt

A little late in catching this post, but thank you MarvelPhx for posting this. For some reason your link does not work. Try this folks; https://myecto1.com/ maybe it was the missing forward slash at the end. To you folks out there looking in on MarvelPhx's website you will NOT be disappointed at all. I've been going through his build from part one and it is probably the best build site I've seen. Well laid out, great pictures and he includes all the mods and how to install them. Seriously well done. Plus he is doing many different partswork builds. Give it a check out. I've subscribed to the Ecto 1 but am still waiting for issue one and two. But I'm already collecting quite a few mods from the after market. Thank you MarvelPhx for your time and efforts in your builds and sharing them with everyone. Your Ecto 1 build will be my blueprint to follow. wyatt

Hi John, I've been away for a bit and have missed numerous posts. Thanks for sharing the finished pics. Awesome build you've done. Love the adverts. Dang I want one of these. Come on Agora listen to the fans.

Thanks for your reply. I just received a reply from CS that mine will ship this week. Fingers crossed.

Greetings folks, I sent an inquiry to Customer Service about the status of Pack 10. But I'd like to ask my fellow subscribers if you have received Pack 10 yet? I have not. I just received a notice about Pack 11 being delayed, so, just curious. Thanks. wyatt

Beautiful conclusion to this build James. You've really done justice to this kit. What's next on your list? wyatt

Mine shipped today also. That was quick and much appreciated. Thanks Agora. wyatt

Received the email today with the password and ordered the rifle. £79.99 plus £9.99 shipping to the USA. You have to have a subscription to order it. wyatt

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. He has other builds going on as well. Just checked my tracking number (May 14,2020) and my Pack 1 has left the UK on the way to the US. Cheer!

Good bit of progress there Sascha. Looking great so far.
