Veterans is off the boat.

Recommended Posts

I heard they mixed up the ships. Some columbian drug dealers are now surprised with X-wings products. And they are reporting earning more money with them as with cocaine.

On the other hand, comic store owners report unexplainable working zeal from their employers

Wooooohoooooo!!!!!!!!

 

The colored bases are shipping now!

 

 

Oh ... were you all waiting for Imperial Veterans?

Are they going to be like the new changed bases or the original ones cause they certainly won't fit old and new properly at the same time.  I can't understand why they changed them.

Change of factories is the simplest answer. It was not exactly something they decided to do.

Ok fine but why are they not made to the same specifications?

Molding is more art than science. You can dial in the exact same settings on two injection molding machines beside each other, and get different tolerance results, nevermind different factories.

The most likely cause of the difference is a new series of molds created for the new factory because they didn't have the same machines, so the old molds were incompatible. It could also have been a change in resin manufacturer, and the resultant post mold expansion properties weren't accounted for/checked correctly.

Ok so the new coloured bases are going to garbage for the older ships then is what you are saying - lol.

 

There is such a thing as quality control and to be that far out is not within tolerance.
