That sucks.
There are a few bits and pieces that I'd like to order from Northstar but I'm hesitant to place another order with them based on my own experience and that of others whose posts I've read.
I guess their loss will be other companies' gain

I bought both the spiky 4 legged thing and the giant turtle and had issues with both. Must be said though that Northstar were really good about replacing them.

I would probably just ask again. Is it possible to give them a call? I would be keen to see how this turns out. It would be a shame to have this end with a bitter taste in your mouth, they are great figures and the game looks fun!

I got a few (mostly bots) yesterday and mine were all okay.  The cables on the Big Bot could have been a little crisper on detailing, but they were bad enough to complain about and I didn't experience any mold slippage.

Anyone have scale comparisons on the official figs against popular alternatives like Reaper Chronoscope, Mantic, etc?

the miniatures are not on the NS site anymore
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

I think on Face Book they say it is only this weekend - I guess this is so they can make them up into packs rather than single figures.

I ended up picking up some figures, and can report a quick ship UK/USA  and no problems with the figures.

Review and Scale Comps with other figures I use here.

Lucky! Those sure look a lot crisper and better cast than mine. I may take a second look at the range in a year or so, maybe by then NS will have sorted out the issues.
