Yeah, yeah. You'll get yours first as usual

. Not only is it 15 degrees outside, but I gotta wait extra for SWS stuff to arrive!

Did anyone else get a crazy e-mail from SSW.com about their credit card being declined? I did, then they sent me another e-mail a few hours later apologizing and telling me that they hadn't attempted to charge my card yet, but they would try later that day.

Anyway, it looks like my first 2 Sandtroopers will be here soon as well.

Ahhhh... the benfits of living in Southern California

Hey sith_killer, I got those emails too. I had a mini heart attack, updated my credit card info at SWS.com, and emailed customer support - then I got the "nevermind" emails later like you did, so I guess it's all good.

I got the same e-mail yesterday. What's ticking me off a little bit is that the chrome Jango bust I ordered on 2/25 is still listed as "pending" even though the amount was deducted from my Visa's available credit yesterday. Shouldn't it have at least shipped by now???

I'm gonna wait until tomorrow and call if it's still pending. If it's on backorder or something, I think I'll just cancel it. It was a spur-of-the-moment purchase anyway. Not like I'll lose a lot of sleep over it.

Glad to see it wasn"t just me. Too bad they put all of us through the heart ache of a bogus e-mail.

My Sandtroopers showed up at work this morning. Pretty damn cool. Looks like they went a little crazy with the weathering paint, but it still looks very nice.

I'll put 'em together and take some pics later when I get home....

According to the FedEx tracking, my Sandtroopers are in Rialto CA right now. It looks like they will be here next week.

**Reefer Shark** · 03-05-2005

So I put my Sandtroopers together, and they are awesome! Congrats to you guys that got to order them too.

Here's a few pictures. The last one is a comparison shot with a Marmit Sandtrooper. It's amazing how much better the Kotobukiya version looks than the Marmit.

**sith_killer_99** · 03-05-2005

SWEET!

Thanks for the pics. I may not even bother with the Marmit figures now. I have been contemplating buying them, but they would just be statues anyway. Besides with all 3 colors and interchangable arms the Kotos will probably blow them away.

The FedEx site says they are on the truck for delivery! Yeah! I told my wife to keep here ears open for the delivery guy. So I should have them tonight when I get home from work! I am sooo stoked about these!
