woodenhead Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I wonder what Hattons would rate the box as? 😆 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapidoandy Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 1 hour ago, Harlequin said: I think I spotted a bent footstep in the final close-up shots. If so, then that one didn't come through the experience completely unscathed after all! That was actually me handling it around whilst filming. I had a mental note to "straighten that when you put it in the white box". However, between that thought and actually getting it in the white box I think the phone rang at least 3 times, a delivery went out and I probably got distracted by the dozen or so unread emails that came in yesterday whilst we were busy. We did find a few "warranty" issues along the way (which we have removed to address) but that is perfectly normal in this game. Anyone who thinks there should be 100% perfection in a run of models with no issues is obviously wrong. As I like to tell people, the ladies and gents that assemble, paint and detail these models are far better modellers than I, and probably many of us, will ever be... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Half expecting Rapido to accidentally drop a load of LMR lions in the channel. To subsequently pull them out and find them intact. The model packaging equivalent of a Toyota pickup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted October 27, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2022 A superb video from Rapido and nice to see Sam in on it at the end taking it in the right spirit. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Nova Scotian Posted October 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2022 No one else wince when he goes to open up the box with the box cutter facing straight down? I guess that’s why the second piece of cardboard is under there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair after opening up it's fair share of the other boxes, it was getting rather blunt by the point of filming. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium rab Posted October 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2022 So is a Rapido Dynamometer Car which fell off the back of a lorry (and survived) worth more or less than the normal price? :) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More concerned he then put it into his back pocket of his pants after use - the blade was away this time, but that's a bad habit to form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Markwj Posted October 29, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 29, 2022 Great video particularly liked Sam getting involved at the end and demonstrating he does have a sense of humour and can take a joke. I wonder who the lines ‘we are running a lion model as thunderbolt because we can’ and ‘it’s better than having the model turning up damaged and the packaging pristine’ ,were aimed at? cheers mark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted October 29, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 29, 2022 Are we going to have a third release at some point, with specially-made 'dented' boxes to commemorate this event...? 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough who don't keep the box anyway, and if the requested/affect box comes with a certificate disclaiming the packaging and providing authenticity of both being extra checked and proving that it's provenance- then everyone's a winner! (Only down side is I would think that extra packaging would be needed to take it the "last mile"!) Kev. (Great vid but at the end I think the door step is slightly bent upwards - but who's to say when that happened!) Presumably the certificate will be signed by Dyno-Drop Dave? Horrible to see, but no injuries, Rapido are their usual glass half full selves and as open about the good and the bad as usual. Packaging may be dented, but no reputations were harmed in them making of this movie (Except Drop-ship Dave of course). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
