Have any fellow UK fans received their Classics Stratos yet?

I ordered him they day he went on sale, as I do with all Classics, but I still haven't received mine. Ordinarily they take a while, but generally not as long as this, so I'm just curious if any others have got theirs yet?

**Jii Dee** · March 6, 2009, 06:52pm

I haven't got mine either...and quite frankly i'm starting to get a bit antsy....

**Adam_Portugal** · March 6, 2009, 07:26pm

Well, I'm from Portugal and I had buy it on Feb 17, and still no Stratos here too.

**super-munkyboy** · March 6, 2009, 08:08pm

If done by normal mail, it was 17 days usually.

**He-Fan** · March 7, 2009, 06:30am

Chris here...

I received my Stratos about half an hour ago!

Take care...

**MastersOfTheUK** · March 7, 2009, 06:48am

Same here as Chris, my Stratos just turned up at the door about 10-15 minutes ago

The packaging was the best yet with foam and paper in there to keep it safe.

On a related note, Stratos is my least favourite figure yet as I've never really been a Stratos fan, but they did a good job on him.

Bring on Squiddish Rex!

**Spacedust** · March 7, 2009, 08:15am

If some people's Stratos turned up today, I'll keep my fingers crossed for today or the next couple of days.

It's not completely their fault, but Mattel really need to work on their overseas sales.

**Tiggerbeast** · March 7, 2009, 10:59am

I recieved my stratos today (7th March). All my previous orders were abotu 20 days.

He's brilliant - I wasn't a huge Stratos fan (Probably because he's gray) but he's much better than the 200x version.

Hopefully in a month I'll hav my firt ever Faker

**tmc1984** · March 7, 2009, 01:50pm

I ordered mine on release date too - I think I was one of the first to order, looking at the old messages on the board ... I was getting a bit anxious myself to be honest, but if people have got theirs today (7th) then I should expect to see him on Monday or Tuesday if all goes well ...

**Motorthing** · March 7, 2009, 05:34pm

Just returned from a day out to find mine had also turned up this morning - good stuff! 18 days this time so 1 more than He/Beast and Skelly.

Am deffo going for Faker the same way - slow, but dependable and Customs free.

**dan768** · March 7, 2009, 06:01pm

Yep - no need to panic just yet

Just like everybody else, I receive my figures today and so if you haven't receive them yet, you'll more than likely get them next week

**Angel-T** · March 7, 2009, 06:28pm

I got my stratos today! He was well packed, but both of his arms seem really off. Any tips on how to to sort the arms out

**Motorthing** · March 8, 2009, 07:02am

So Saturday seems to have been a busy day for the Post Office then - wierd that so many seem to have turned up all at once.....

**Tiggerbeast** · March 8, 2009, 11:04am

Oh and i didn't get a customs charge either.

**Toymaker** · March 8, 2009, 02:10pm

I've not got mine yet

**Eamon** · March 9, 2009, 06:57am

I just got mine.
Everything was perfect!

Will definitely have adjust those wings though.

**Havoc** · March 9, 2009, 09:05am

I also got mine on Saturday morning.

I take it you mean the wing adjustment?
Its dead easy. fill a mug with boiling water, put his hands up to just above the writ bands in the water and leave him for a minute. This is to melt the glue. dry off his hands and gently ease the wristbands away from the arm. you can then position them any way you want

**Spacedust** · March 9, 2009, 09:34am

Monday afternoon and I'm still waiting for mine

I ordered two so am hoping I don't get a customs charge - I got away with it when I ordered He-Man and Beast Man.

I just did that and it worked a treat!

**Orko's Magic Hat** · March 9, 2009, 02:57pm

Had a "missed delivery" card waiting for me when I got home tonight, grrr, I've got to re-schedule the delivery.

**Toymaker** · March 9, 2009, 03:54pm

Luckily, one of my neighbours looked after mine till I got home!

**Jii Dee** · March 9, 2009, 04:12pm

Got a slip through the door while at work saying customs wants £11 off me. i think i know what its foooooooorrrrr......woohoo

**Teela-Na** · March 9, 2009, 07:16pm

I was one of those who received Stratos on Saturday. He looks awesome but I miss the blue wings and red back pack.

Thanks Havoc, it worked a treat! Stratos now looks 100 times better.

**tmc1984** · March 10, 2009, 06:57am

Got mine yesterday (10th - Monday) ...

He's pretty much perfect in every way ... if I was being critical, some of the joints are a little loose, but nothing major ...

Very pleased
