If my Ring doorbell footage is anything to go by, it looks like my 51/52 have arrived too. And with an oddly shaped package that could just be my Rogue statue.

Fingers crossed for you other subbers out there still waiting!

It is indeed. My 51 &52 have just arrived and that is your Rogue Trooper statue.

Be prepared though, it's in a rather flimsy jiffy bag.

Mine, thankfully, has arrived unscathed.

They sent a statue in a jiffy bag? FFS. These people are massive idiots. (* has flashbacks to ten books being sent loose in a massive cardboard box – and five having to be re-sent, which were also sent in a massive cardboard box *)

Nice one Matt! I'll keep my fingers crossed it's in one piece too!

Yep. I was fairly astounded and expected damage. The cardboard on the packaging of the statue had poked through a bit but it's in good condition. Number 0572 for people that like that kind of thing.

Fingers crossed then that 51/52 have arrived at home, and i can finally get caught up on the superb looking Deadworld.

Anyone wanna share a look at the Rogue figure?

I haven't been that impressed with the figures I've seen so far, but that one I must admit I like the look of.  Shame there's no way of getting hold of it.

Is it just me but doesn't that figure show how stupid the GI rifle design was ..no wonder they were massacred , because despite the fact there is a shoulder butt and scope the rifle itself is impossible to shoulder fire because the trigger guard is not under the body of the rifle but in line with the shoulder butt so the firer has to wind their arm around the shoulder butt to reach the trigger in a really unatural way ?

GI's were gened with bendy forearms. Also useful for unblocking the Milicom kludgey.

I've always thought of the stock as being telescopic - it would slide in and out like a trombone...

Well if it also made the sound it would be an entirely different design flaw 😄

Well, no 2000ad partwork at the newsagents, apparently due to the bank holiday.
