Dark PWF[Staff] Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 I've known for awhile that the boxes were coming soon. I thought about creating this thread because of that, a few times. Ultimately, I didn't because I wanted to have had the actual emotional experience of receiving them before doing so.They're here! OMG, They're here!!! Finally!!!! FedEx never comes to our house before 3:00 - 4:00 PM. NEVER. So imagine my surprise when, while I was home for lunch, the big white truck pulls up to deliver the large brown boxes. I looked like Ralphie Parker running to the tree on Christmas morning as I bolted to get the camera. I started taking pictures and my wife said "Are you really going to take pictures while that little woman tries to carry those boxes to the house? She could drop them." That sent me into a minor panic... "Oh, MY GOD. You're right." I handed HER the camera and ran towards the door, fully intent on running to the street to retrieve the boxes from her, but the FedEx lady was deceptively fleet of foot and met me at the door. Thankfully, my wife had the camera. There are already a lot of pictures of the boxes, me looking like a four year old on Christmas, me wearing beautiful TK helmet(s). Me wearing a helmet with my son, who was wearing the Walt80 helmet that I built and gave to him today when mine arrived. It's been a really good day so far! My Lexan scissors and Neodymium magnets are out for delivery today, too. How's that for timing/fate?I can't promise anything resembling "building" being posted tonight, but I'll get some brown box pictures up to share with all of you sometime tonight. At the moment, I should probably get back to work. Pfffttt... Work. Dammit, I've got TK armor to build. More to follow! Quote

TK Rome[501st] Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 This makes me want to forsake all my bills and just buy my armor now. Who needs a car or a roof over their head!? Quote

gazmosis[501st] Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 so....if this goes anything like your blaster build.....it will end up being 326 pages and finished at sometime in the next two years Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Posted June 10, 2014 Enjoy your build Tim!!! P.S. I did received my replacement part from RT today too loll. I guess Rob had a busy day at the post office! Quote

No. I have it on good authority that this will NOT be like the blaster build (which I need to close out soon. LoL) and I have an aggressive timeline for completion. Also, can we get someone to move it to the build thread area. Shame, shame, shame.... Edited June 10, 2014 by Dark CMF Quote

usaeatt2 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 After all the hype, I think I'm more excited for YOUR armor arrival than I was for MINE! Pictures, man, pictures! Well written too - I felt like I was right there in the midst of the frenzy! Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Posted June 10, 2014 16 posts long and we dont have any photos yet. WTF! True story. I'm still at work though. LoL Sometime tonight. Quote
Starfox2010 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 How could you go to work after something as exciting as this?! Should have called in and said you have the McBubblies. Quote
Cantina Security[501st] Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Yeah man good for you Tim, look your at 3000 posts... Wow.. Excited , congratulations to you . Yeah I bet work was tough... Good luck I'm sure you'll nail it . Like Gaz said too, 326 pages and two years later...funny. Gotta beat those deadlines..lol. Quote
Tolo[TK] Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 hahahahaha You nailed it!!! Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Okay. Pictures promised. Here they are. I'll keep them to a minimum, lest we reach 326... I'm planning for no more than 320. Truck. Lunchtime. Surprise. Small box was only a little out of shape because Rob ran out of his regular boxes and had to build a makeshift one for shipping. Hero helmet, with Feliks wanting a turn to wear it. It fits! Next... Stunt helmet and armor, all very nicely and neatly packaged, as Rob is known to do. I believe he may own stock in Saran Wrap. I let Feliks try on the Stunt, just for being supportive. Fits just fine. Feliks did find a way to wear the armor before I did though. Fresh from the box, still wrapped. Laid out for inventory.

aicire Posted June 11, 2014 Report Posted June 11, 2014 Wait...... Are those built buckets? Tim.......... The ear wars are the best part of the entire build. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted June 11, 2014 Author Report Posted June 11, 2014 Ericia, yes they are. Rob builds them as part of his standard service. Had I not built the Walt80, I'd have kept the Stunt in kit form so I could have the experience of building one. Quote
