I need to vent!

Came out this morning and bloody rabbits have been at my new seedlings!

time for a motion sensetive sentry gun.

Ah yup. That thought has crossed my mind many times...


I think I'm just gonna go and take it out on someone at the local Pub.

I've faced the same problem with purchases from RK. Took over a week once it arrived in Australia according to the tracking website.

It's Australia Post that's holding it up (I believe). The courier delivers the parcel to your designated address (eg home), which requires a signature. If you aren't at the designated address at time of delivery then the parcel gets stored at your local Australia Post Office. The problem is that the collection card takes forever to reach your letterbox to inform you that you need to collect the parcel from the allocated local Post Office!!!! One way I get around this is to call my local Post Office to check if there is a parcel for my attention. If so, just pop in & present ID with name & address, such as Driver's Licence. This cuts out the waiting time for the collection card to arrive. Why Australia Post doesn't just place the collection card in the letterbox there and then if no one is home? Argh... frustrating indeed.

I find my parcel from BBTS gets dropped on my front door if I'm not at home. It's so much faster. No signature is required (but I guess there is an element of risk). One time, it was placed behind my rubbish bin and away from prying eyes. It was a large box. The guy left a quick note in the letterbox to tell me where the parcel was located. Fantastic!!!!

I'm still waiting for it. But what I find weird is that RKs parcel seem to go to Sydney then Perth. Whereas another source of mine uses HongKong Post also and it was posted on the Friday and I got it on the Monday. 2 days compared to 3 weeks!.....why such a difference?

I'm going to get one of those for the Transformatorium shed I am building For the vege patch, maybe not a great idea as I'm rather fond of my dog & cat

I don't know for sure. I'm only guessing here but they are using different Postal Services, even if the parcel originate from the same geogrpahic location. UPS Air Service, for example, 'guarantee' delivery of parcel by a set date and thus cost more to ship. RK may be using Registered Air Mail Parcel, which keeps cost down but takes a lot longer to reach it's final destination. The exception is for large parcels which require EMS shipping method.

It can also depend on which planes are leaving HK for Australia that have space available. To the HK postal service, if you aren't paying for a guaranteed delivery timeframe, they'll stick it on any plane that is heading for Australia, and then it becomes Australia Post's problem to relocate it to the city/state on the address. And as we've seen, once it gets to Australia, our postal service can take its time to send stuff interstate.

Ugh....I was swapping hands on my S.H.Figuarts Gohan figure and I took the arm off instead.
When I tried to put the arm back on and somehow took the ball off in the process. Worse is that the ball is in the joint now.

Anyone know if you can get replacements from Bandai? It was the SDCC version too.....

Failing that, any ideas on how to fix it???

I did something like that to my original Akiba Yellow. Thank god she was a non-exclusive release, because it was not fixable (I ended up buying a replacement for $25 from amiami.com, because I stupidly assumed there would be no chance of help from Bandai--in a way it was a good thing because I used to buy Sentai Figuarts from ebay and yesasia like a moron paying the ridiculous mark ups), but after dealing with the Good Smile Company for replacement Nendoroid pieces, I think Bandai would be pretty okay as long as you took photos, and it was with in 12 months of release.

Of course, being an SDCC one, it's distributed by Bluefin instead right? So hit them up on their Facebook page and they should help. They're pretty quick to reply to thing.

Basically destroyed my hands turning an area on our hobby farm the old owners had as a tip into a big vege patch for all my vine veges such as watermelon, cucumbers, pumpkins, rockmelon etc.

Came out this morning and bloody rabbits have been at my new seedlings!

My first thought was 'Oh cute, bunnies!!'


Guess I don't have what it takes to be a farmer.

BUT I do know how you can stop the rabbits.

Ditch the veggies, grow cows and sell meat.

That way, rabbits won't eat your cows.

You can thank me later.
