    Tenon wobble fix

    in Terminator Chat

    Posted

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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.

    T-800 helpful sites

    in Terminator T-800

    Posted

    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!

    Here's part of the email notification Agora sent me today;

    We hope you are still keeping safe and healthy during these challenging times. We are delighted to tell you that your Pack #1 of Terminator T-800 has been processed and we are shipping this directly to you from our UK hub. Your tracking number with Royal Mail International is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Due to shipping restrictions and delays caused by COVID-19, please allow an extra 7 days for delivery. The payment for Pack #2 will be processed on May 20th and we will ship Pack #2 to you within 48 hours. We will of course contact you then to send you your tracking number.

    An extra 7 days to what I don't know. I'm stateside, so we'll see.

    Star Wars AT-AT 1/47 scale

    in New Product Ideas

    Posted

    Well, looks like Atlaya is starting a trial in France of a Star Wars AT-AT (All Terrain - Attack Transport). 1/47 scale - 56.4 cm (22 3/16 inches) long. Any Star Wars fans salivating yet?

    The URL worked before, but seems to change for some reason, So, use the link below to go to the news page and scroll down. Use your preferred translation app (google translate works for me) and peruse the news of partswork kits. Sorry for the hassle. Thanks for your help Tinkertoo.
