General / Off-Topic My new ship

It's a bit small to fit into. I'm not sure Sienar Fleet Systems can ship it to the Milky way either, i guess the cost is astronomical so it will have to stay in a GFFA... Bit of a story behind this..

a long time ago.... in 2015, june the 1st to be exact i ordered some Hot wheels elite star wars ships. These promised to be very detailed and perfect for an adult collector (pew pew pew). A few months passed by and nothing happened. I mean its not like the Disney purchase might have slowed it down. Eventually i gave up resigning myself to the fact they would never be released. I left the orders open for s and giggles.

FFWD to today i got in from work and had a knock at the door from DPD, i assumed it was for next door because they seem to be keeping ASOS afloat. And im constantly taking in parcels. so i opened the door.
"Need me to take that for next door fella?"
"no its for you"
"is it?! im not expecting anything, nice surprise!"

saw it was Forbidden planet on the address.

Nooo. it cant be, bah im hungry lunch first.

carefully opened the box. And i may have let out a child like squeal. It looks brillant i have to say. great detail and some clever features as the viewport and bottom and top hatches connect magnetically. the stand is naff though I'm too scared to force it on. Waited too long haha. But like the trilogy surrounding it there is still two ships waiting, The falcon (which ill probably implode from joy if it ever does arrive) and an X-wing. so hopefully they will arrive soon.

Thought you might be amused by the story and enjoy the pics.
