Just opened this today. I bought him from liquidaluminum and it was a great deal which went perfectly... Here's some nice pics i managed to get using my new camera.<img src=\"http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e212/Bosskat/frd2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> <img src=\"http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e212/Bosskat/frd4.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e212/Bosskat/frd1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> <img src=\"http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e212/Bosskat/frd3.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Well, the deal went perfectly until the UK postal services got their hands on it. The parcel was delayed by UK Customs for over 2 weeks, then they sent me a £62 ($124) bill for tax. I got the letter on the 30th of November and it said i had to pick up the mask and pay the importation tax before they would give me the parcel. For them to deliver the mask to my door, i would have to pay them the tax and then add another £12 for delivery. I eventually paid the tax and picked the item up. I'm currently taking them to court for reimbursement of all the money they ripped me off for, and for the shipping costs that liquidaluminum paid to them. Liquidaluminum for delivery to my address. Well i have it in writing that Parcel Force (a UK "delivery" service) would only deliver if i paid them a further £12, which shows that liquidaluminum didn't get the service as per the contract he entered into with USPS. The delivery wasn't completed as was paid for. I decided to take a taxi to and from the depot and i asked for a written receipt from the driver so now i'm claiming for my travelling expenses too (£23).I repeatedly tried e-mailling the UK Customs dep't after finding their phone was constantly busy but never did get a reply so i got my solicitor to take out a small claim against them. He looked at everything and he said there is no way they will win it. That'll teach them to try and sting me after delaying my goods for so long!.. little old me taking a Government department to court! lol. Anyway, liquidaluminum was a top guy to deal with. None of this was his fault in the slightest, thankyou mate <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

It's kinda left a bitter taste in my mouth knowing i've paid nearly $500 in total for this thanks to the inept UK postal system. I'm seriously considering selling him now because he's hard to look at in the same light after all the unforseen stress and expense. THANKYOU PARCEL FARCE!!! <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
