So, was my new Tamiya used as a weapon?

Recommended Posts

The GF01 I ordered earlier this week arrived today. At first all looked well until my wife told me to look at the other side of the box it was packed in. It was caved in pretty hard on the one corner. Fortunately, there was an abundance of "air pillows" that kept the kit box from being crushed as well. Unfortunately, there was a good splash of what looks alot like blood on the crushed box corner. So, um, that was disquieting to say the least. If we're playing a game of Clue, would it be Colonel Mustard in the postal truck with the Tamiya box as the murder weapon?

Hopefully it happened as a Yodel Employee attempted to toe Punt it across the depot and broke their Toe instead (bone out and everything)

Don't worry, it was just Fraggle blood...

In all likelihood it was actually guilty of injuring someone, just not as you would expect. When I used to supervise a large warehouse and shipping facility it wasn't uncommon for one of my staff to get clouted on the head by a falling box (or a small avalanche of them) while unloading tractor trailers. The cargo would shift in transit and suddenly collapse once the doors opened, or less often, but just as dangerously, when the surrounding boxes exposed a poorly packed area in the center of the trailer. Broken noses, heads and other injuries weren't uncommon. All of this was made worse by the negligence of the underpaid chimps who packed and loaded the trailer with insufficient training, poor loading techniques, failure to use enough shrink film, etc. Naturally, the fools and idiots who created the problem weren't the ones who got hurt. And the boxes often looked worse than the poor worker sitting on the ground wondering what hit him. So, yeah, your box was probably the unintentional assault weapon in a crime.

That is the funniest thing I've read all day. :lol: Now I feel bad for the victim after laughing.

You have just brought back a horrible memory from my childhood. I was absolutely terrified of those monster things.
