Also Ash said that for the time being, only Bertie will be offered as 3AGO (even though he's also said that 3AGO Squares will make their appearance soon).

The JEA 3AGO Bertie on Ash's IG also shows signs of minimal weathering, so i guess that'll be the trend for 3AGO bots.

JEA 3AGO BERTIE?! WHERE?! I looked all over his IG! nuthin. Pics or links pleeease.

BAWGOD!! It's been so long I forgot about that old pic!! Thanks Wutasi.
Hmmm...soft and minty like newer JEA Sad

. You're right not weathered like OG, but I guess what can you do? Not too bad looking. Not ideal, but not awful. Wonder when these get sold and how!

by pezbanana Mon Jun 22, 2015 10:45 am

Yeah, the newer JEA bots are so bland compared to oldies like MK2 Bertie, Bramble, LM... i've said it many times in other threads, but i'll still collect JEA because it's a really cool faction and one of the few OG colorways that still makes its way into newer bot models and, as we see here, newer scales / lines as well.

Bring on 3AGO Berties!!!

by Argentix Mon Jun 22, 2015 12:56 pm

I like the look of that Bertie, needs a 1/6th scale release. JEA still manages to give off that lovely 1950's US military vibe really well. Damn, I wish there were more WWR releases scheduled...

Hello my fellow 3A Legionnaires! Could use a favor ... my membership set came with a Medium size shirt and need a Large size. Any one out there willing or got one to trade? I'll even thrown in a little extra for the help and inconvenience. Much appreciated. PM me or post. Thanks!

Last week a couple of my buddies in town got their 3aa packs delivered by DHL and were charged $23 on delivery.
Today mine arrived via EMS from Canada post no charges as usual. Kinda weird that they used different shipping methods for the same city.

by x43x Tue Jun 23, 2015 5:36 am

Maybe they got feedback that DHL was charging fees, so they changed it up for the later batches?

Hope you gave Patrick a "neener neener"

Still haven't seen my pack....

Just got home after a week long business trip and see that all other locals in Seattle got their packs, but none yet here. Sad

Lame. Any notice from DHL?

by Artoo Wed Jun 24, 2015 1:05 pm

Nope.
How did you get notified, did you get an email or something?

by Beaumont Wed Jun 24, 2015 1:20 pm

Some (including myself) received a text message saying that it was going to be delivered soon.

by BPP Wed Jun 24, 2015 5:20 pm

Off to give UK customs $50 and a big black box shall be mine...

by Knightjar Wed Jun 24, 2015 6:42 pm

Just had a customs ransom for mine too. Annoyed since CS said they'd mark it down.

by Skipper11x Wed Jun 24, 2015 7:05 pm

In hand right now, love the NOMs, Bertie, print, card & shirt.
No real use for a GO TK head but nice enuf.
JJ embarrassingly put back in the box, pointless, useless.
Overall great box and presentation, one of the best 3aa packs.
Was hoping not too but this pack sort of won me over into 3ago, mission accomplished 3a.

90% of all toys I've ordered in past 7 to 8 years have been marked down. (by 3A and other companies too) I have completely stopped asking for mark downs, as it has little to no effect to customs behaviour - at least here in Finland. If customs suspect something is worth more than indicated by the sender, they will ask for proof. The only reason packages go through customs un-checked, is the lack of resources. I think that in every country customs would like to get all the feeds determined by customs/import laws. ThreeA has very little power over that.

Not sure what is up with DHL, emailed CS last night asking why they are taking so long and got a 2nd tracking number generated two days ago... with also zero movement Sad

BTW, a bunch of people over at the Taiwan legion received pkg intended for Japan with wrong name and wrong T-shirt sizes. Needless to say the current distribution method 3A chose is not working out well for quite a few members.

by Guest Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:08 am

Hey guys just need some help here! You know how the strap thing for the membership card comes in a plastic baggy? Should I save the plastic baggy after opening? Also do you know how the t-shirt has a gold thing wrapper? Should I save the gold wrapper?

I think I can overcome my OCD thanks everyone! You know what I did recently? I touched my figures without first washing my hands! You know what else? I ATE A MEAL WHILE THEY WERE SITTING ON THE TABLE NEXT TO ME! Aren't I quite the uhh daredevil marvel comics tm? I'm so dangerous!

Oh man guys right now my figures are being exposed to direct sunlight oh the horror they're ruined forever haha just kidding! What's the point of having my 3A releases if I can't even enjoy them? I mean these are high quality durable plastic model kits and should be able to take a little abuse otherwise there is no point right?

NO SERIOUSLY I NEED THE ABOVE QUESTIONS ANSWERED PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE ME! I'M TOO SCARED TO THROW THINGS!

by Skipper11x Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:27 am

Ah Vince, did you ever consider wearing tissue boxes for shoes & saving & cataloguing your urine in jars for future generations.
I would keep the bag & gold wrapper in the box.
Also my shirt is the perfect size ie: when they say L it's large, XL is extra large etc.
My Bertie has the same front dent as yours.
Dare I ask where you put JJ?

by geisT Thu Jun 25, 2015 4:48 am

Still waiting to receive my 3AA.

Emailed CS yesterday and received my DHL tracking today.

It says that DHL just now picked up my package from 3A in Hong Kong TODAY. What the heck???

by raveer Thu Jun 25, 2015 5:43 am
