Hopefully with an announcement of BBB shipment later this week, I've prepped my cheat sheet for the build for quick referral here as I follow a plethora of threads.

Well 1st "Kinda Letdown" from the ebayster and one of the most noticeable components - yup just got my bubble lenses and hence the post above.

 

I will post pics after Dubby (Dad/Hubby) Duties.

Right then -

 

I've decided there's no need for concern quite yet - the reason I feel they were a "Kinda letdown" was due to my opinion that they don't look bubble enough.

 

However, I'm going to wait to see how they look in my bucket and then get opinions to see if it will meet CRL standard. "Stay Calm and Troop on" lol

Hmm... My own seem about that depth, but not as bubbly or wrinkled... Then again, the bubbles are a little recessed within the mold... Think yours will do well though.<br><br>

Sent a few pictures for reference.

Cheers as always Dan - I appreciate it!

 

Yes the wavy portion is the outside edge of the mold. I have a little cutting and filing to do or possibly smooth it out with the sealing iron to give a wider mounting surface for fastening.

Wait until you can see how they fit in your bucket, before modifying them. Then you'll get a better idea.

Now to add this to your bucket... Which you haven't got yet... So we expect you trooping after next weekend, so better get a move on lol

"Dear Lord Vader,

 

Could you please use the dark side to send email notice of my BBB...(fart) whoops concentrating a little too hard" Lol.

 

The last email from Mark said that shipping would start this week but haven't heard anything from the other recruits - so it's back to "Hurry up and wait"

Found a gif that best represents our email accounts (to bring some humor to our wait)

Who gets it first? Anovos vs AP

I have a sneaking suspicion it will be AP. If I had stuck with An.... I would be getting my armor much later this year.
