A few things this past week. Finally got my Amazon exclusives. If you were following along with the my drama with USPS the short version is they dropped it off at the wrong house and whoever had it dropped it off at my house sometime Wednesday morning.
Also picked up an Authentics Grimlock at Five Below. It was the small one, I think that's Alpha class? Whatever, it's a neat little figure, just something cheap to play around with. My only complaint, aside from the T-rex arms being molded into the sides of the body (which I knew about already) is that they should have placed the fists on the inside of the dino legs instead of the back so it could use the elbow joint properly and the claws would have been in a better place. Oh well, I shouldn't complain too much about a figure like this.
And then I picked up a second Siege Refraktor at Walmart yesterday. One more to go.
I mentioned a while back that I had an order coming in from Amazon Japan, but it's still not here. Unfortunately they chose to ship it via DHL which is the worst option for me since they come from Boston, three states away from me here in Maine. They only make one attempt and that's it and that's the last communication the'll make with you despite having your email address and phone number. They take their time handing it off to USPS and that's its own bunch of issues since USPS wont go to my house with any packages that need to be signed for. So the package was attempted by DHL on 8/17, then "attempted" by USPS on 8/22, and by that I mean they took one of their door slips, typed in all the information, and left a photo copy in my mail box. I doubt they keep photocopiers in their trucks. Then I got a final "attempt" on 8/24 in my mail box that was hand written on a door tag. Funny how these door tags are always in my mailbox and not, you know, on my door. I'm trying to set up a USPS account that makes it so I don't have to sign for packages, but I have to wait for them to mail me something because they wouldn't accept my phone number to sign up.
I had done the same with DHL, but I guess I didn't do it in time. I wont be able to pick up my package until Thursday or Friday so now my three day shipping has turned into two weeks.
