Mail Day

Mail Call Day

The boxes are pretty beat up. I’m a little worried about the condition of what’s inside.

The First Box

Got this secondhand—old enough that it came with a magnet pack! Pretty sick. Hopefully we caught this at the time where we got the good new resin but still got magnets.

Looks like we’re good. Great quality. I paid probably what the magnets alone would have cost. Huge win. Shout out to eBay.

The Fantasm Unbox

This is what I’m really excited about. The box the post office jacked up though, so we’ll see.

These are substantial pieces. At least one’s already broken. It feels bad when you know it’s going to be broken and it just becomes a matter of how badly. But compared to my Mercs Crixus, we’re off to a much better start.

Damage Report

Only one thing broken—clean snaps that I can figure out where they go. This base is cool and hefty—printed solid.

Supporting Early Adopters

You have to be an early adopter to support the company like this. I believe in what SFG is doing and they’re really doing some things great. But for someone new to the hobby, the breakage might be off-putting.

In the scale of things, this is not a huge problem. Still easier to clean up than a Forge World model. I could probably hit up SFG and get a replacement since their customer support is that good, but I’m not going to because that’s not cool.

The Decision

If you’re watching this, I decided that I’m going full-time into Dusk, baby.

Transcript

Oh, it’s mail call day. I don’t know when I’m actually going to be show uh posting this, but uh uh the boxes are pretty beat up. I’m a little bit worried about the condition of what’s going to be in here. Oh, wow. This is So, this is old enough that I’ve got a magnet pack.

Uh I got this second this is I got this gas secondhand. Got a pretty good deal on it. Uh pretty sick that it’s old enough. Or actually, I don’t know. Is that is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Because it’s old burl resin. Hopefully, we caught this at the time where nothing we got the good new resin, but we still got magnets. And it looks like we’re good. So great, great quality. I don’t want to take everything out.

Look at this. Oh, wow. Look at that. It’s still together in one piece. This is a huge win.

I was not I I paid a very like negligible amount for this and like I paid probably more than what the I probably paid what the magnets would have cost me to has to go buy. That’s crazy. Big win. Shout out to eBay. All right.

Now, this one, this is what I’m really excited about. Uh but also the box that it came in. Like I think like the post office jacked this up. So we’ll we’ll see. Oh, these are substantial.

Ah, at least one’s already broken. I mean, it’s like it does it does feel bad that you know it’s going to be broken and it just becomes a matter of how badly it’s going to be broken. A little bit of supports we have to remove. Um, heat that back up. That won’t be too big of a deal.

Uh overall, I mean, for from like compared to my cricks, the merk cricks I got, this is a we’re off to a much better start for sure. Um maybe nothing is broken. Maybe. Oh, no. Well, so far only one thing broken, but that’s not [clears throat] Jeez.

Okay, so we got this. These are our parts. clean snaps. If I can figure out where they go. I have a feeling it’s maybe it’s off of this.

I don’t know. I’ll look at that off camera so I don’t waste any more of your guys’ time. I’m just kind of glad I was able to find these. These are heads. It looks like small parts.

Nothing seems broken here. I don’t know if you can tell. I don’t want to lose parts right now. You know, I want to I want to be a fan and I want to support SFG and I think what they’re doing is great. This base is cool.

This is a hefty This is printed solid. This is a hefty boy. Very cool. I think it’s You got to like this. you have to be an early adopter to support the company like this just because I do believe in what they’re doing and I think they’re really doing some things great.

But it just doesn’t like if you were new to the hobby and maybe they just know that most of their customers are not new to the hobby. Uh so they’re they’re going to know how to deal with this cuz like in the scale of things this is not a huge problem. I just got to figure out where this thing is supposed to go. But like this is no big deal. Like none of this stuff is a problem.

It’s still um I was just kind of talking trash on it. This is still easier to clean up than a Forge world a forge world model. Like this is still way less work than a Forge World model would be. [laughter] All right, there we go. That’s where it goes.

Uh it broke. Okay, so yeah, in the scale of things, uh I I’m happy. Like it’s not not anything major. Like a couple of minor breaks. Um nothing that I’m going to like complain about.

Uh, I think I if I was a shyier person, I could hit up SFG and say, “Oh, this is broken and get a second one.” Uh, because I think their customer support is that good. I’m not going to uh just because that’s not uh not cool. But, uh, it’s time to get it built. And I don’t know when I’m going to post this, but I’m If you’re watching this, I decided that I’m going fulltime into Dusk, baby.
