Not sure if its okay to post auction links, cant see a mention in the rules.

As the title says the above figures on the unknown auction site :-

I'm in Australia so Post/Shipping would be at a International/Tracked rate.

"Dear Customer,

Shipping Information of Order No: ******

Product Description: 2000ad JUDGE FEAR 1/12th×1

The Parcel has been shipped, and tracking number is: LX*********

Best regards,

3A/Threezero"

and very good news it is too .....

Maybe your Postal service working on several packages ?.

With the generally positive reviews on final product, I've ordered standard Dredd.
Hurry up Postie I want a happy Christmas. 

But if an Aussie worked at 3A, arse's would be kicked, communication made and toys out months ago.

errrr......

I'm guessing you mean Ash Wood being Australian ?.
I'm almost certain he is in his Western Australian studio painting.

I meant at the actual 3A Factory  (H.K.?) overseeing Production and Packaging Personnel.

Tharg would just send in Mekquake.

I got an email today from "Chris" - just asking to confirm that my address was indeed a UK one (as he acknowledged it clearly looked like) because somehow the country field was showing as Australia!

All sorted though and encouraging to think that someone is actually ready to post this to me! Happy Anniversary! 

Today's e-mail says they will "try to help modify this"

TRY? I've got visions of some Ozzie postman wandering the outback looking for a UK post code

Bruce the Postie is scratching his head :-
"Shit mate this Postcode's got letters and digits, were the bloody hell is this ?."
We only use 4 digits (e.g. 3028) so he's a bit confused, may take a while.

But if an Aussie worked at 3A, arse's would be kicked, communication made and toys out months ago.

People PLEASE do not go the evil auction site route just to be "First kid on the block."
Still NO Official news, relax !.

They should email us!

Comes up to a week after Dredd is on your shelf. 

You would assume from the inter-mah-nets that shipping is under way.
Nothing Official for you guys sucks.
A customer chasing Customer Service for news seems wrong.

I'm bummed about being bumped for a more popular character.
Paid pre-order for Mortis, skipped Dredd/Lawmaster, then pre-ordered Fear through 3A.
Felt a little burned with Death so didn't commit to the unknown of Dredd/Lawmaster.
I thought Mortis and Fear's bodies are using Death's as the base, so guessed at what I will get.
Dredd body v1.0 scrapped, I assume due to fan feedback.
When release date passes, much internet griping over 3A normal M.O. with Dredd v2.0 release.
Then a "packaging error" delay through Official News (production mistake due to rushing to release ?).
Now no Official release news on Dredd, just 'net leaks and ebay ads.
All the while Mortis and Fear listed as "delay - Ship DEC." at the bottom of Official 3a emails.
Would have made sense to swap out Death's head and accessories to Mortis + Fear items.
Add in the redundant 2nd pair of hands (but good Trap) and enclose the bubble.
Ship them out and keep some paid for customers happy.
Allowing some breathing space to get totally sorted on Dredd v2.0.

The Lawmaster does look awesome.
The Color Scheme suits the Bike really well, too pricey for my collection though.
Even though I now have him, Metallic Blue Uniform does not thrill me.
Although as posted above, easily remedied with the Cloak/Shotgun   .

I wonder if Mezco is done with Dredd ?.
Scope for more Figure/Bike Paint App's ?.
More 2000Ad characters ?.

Our first look at the finished product. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3A-ThreeA-1-12-2000-AD-Judge-Dredd-Figure-Set-Now-3A279A-/391631199960?hash=item5b2f09ded8:g:O-IAAOSwux5YNVQT

Sold for $94.99 US Shipping inc. !!!!! 

Gotta love 3A Market Strategy.
Pre-order (Raise funds for Production) with us at $65 Shipping inc.
We only show a few pre-production shots of figure.
No real idea of a final product/package/accessories.
If we don't have your early commitment, hooboy !
Drop a kidney online with re-sellers and evil auction sites.

The seller "7TOYS7" is probably the Forklift Driver at the 3A Factory. 

BBTS  has Disco in Spud Sack discounted :-

and also Disco/Lawmaster Combo on clearance :-

https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=OOC10006&mode=retail

Not bad prices for a Mezco figure or combo (but colour bleh ).

Wanted to see Mezco Dredd for myself, I have Spud Sack in hand.
A good figure, the magnets are are quite innovative.
But the uniform around the "crotch area" and Disco colour are a big negative.
Fortunately the Rad Cloak covers most, looks good holding the shotgun.

Dredd is the first time with them, not sure if I will use again due to the angst LOL

I experienced the 3A angst with the release of Death.
Pay in FEB, promised release passes, no/slow delay updates.
General 3A email gives heaps of updates for Robots and S/M figures.
Actually in-hand Mid-Q4, then C.S. tracking email received 3 days later !.
The "Retro-style" packaging, s'okay but a "3A-style" box would be my preference.
Elected to wait for Production pic's and Reviews for Dredd/Lawmaster.

Thanks for sharing the ebay link Dreddzilla.

SHIPPING IN DECEMBER

2000AD | JUDGE FEAR
2000AD | JUDGE MORTIS

My Death made a "....bbbrrrroooottthhhhheeerrrrrssssss......" sound from the pack when he saw this.
Didn't know 3A did sound chip figures.

"Actual (replica) Galactic Groats were published in Prog 33 however, according to the Dredd Alert blog:"
Those are the ones.
I think a friend offered me 2 "assembled" ones, way back.

I'm a relative Newbie here, but a long time reader.
I've searched around the Forum, but no luck.
In my cloudy memory I believe 2000AD used to give away Galactic Groats as a prize.
I think in the very early days in the late 1970's.
I was going to dig out old Prog's to find the adverts, but wouldn't know were to start.

Cheers terryworld.
They seem like a nice bunch.

Wow, they look damn good.
Like others, I'm a bit annoyed about paying upfront/delays/communication.
But as a juve reading the Prog, I never thought any Dark Judges would be available.
Now I'm a Dult, to have 3/4 (almost) with a tease of Fire potentially coming .......
I have to go lie down now.
