What is this thing?
« on: June 26, 2017, 04:20:34 »
It's meant to be the hay that goes into the guinea pig terranium but I don't think it is. ::)

I guess it's from one of the space sets, any idea? ???

Thanks, that's just what it is from, it's the body. I wonder if that means someone ended up with a pile of hay for their robot?

Was that a DS picking error? That robot part must be a lot more expensive than the GP hay.

(I once got the base of a camper van from DS, instead of something small, but I put the wrong part number so that was my fault!)

My only mistake was ordering a couple of canon bases, wheels and missiles to shoot but no barrels!
Yeah, this was supposed to be the hay that goes in that clear box which I think is 45p.
I have zero use for the robot torso so I'll have to throw it in as a random part the next time I sell some stuff.
The last order saw some horse reins turn into the flagpoles that go on top of the fairy tale castle spires but I can find a use for those and finally got my reins with this order.

Now I'm just waiting for the other order that went missing and had to be resent. :crossed:

At €5,75, it would be worth checking to see if it is the mistake of the DS department and getting a refund?

That's quite expensive.
It was a picking error so the sheet and invoice are for the straw.
I see the limb connectors on it are made from the same yellow glowy plastic as the tree "face" from 6891 midnight walk.

Sorry, I didn't understand that!
