I opened up my CG 5 pack yesterday, and there was some weird sort of lubricant coating on most of the figures. Has anybody else found this? What kind of wild goings-on were these Elite Guardsmen up to inside of their box?
And please - no jokes about this being a variant to sell on eBay. I already opened it up and cleaned them off.

lol...remember that "too horrific to describe" initiation ceremony CG's must go through? Well, sounds like you experienced the residue.
What did it smell like, I used to work in a factory and hose lines would sometimes pop off the machines and spray quite a lot until they were turned off. Usually it would be hydraulic fluid or glycol coolant. I saw some pictures of toy factories in china and the machinery look rather old. Probably a line popped off sprayed some stuff and the workers just cleaned up the product as best as they could.

you guys are killing me!!!!! Maybe they are just sweaty from all of the collectors gawking at them. Or maybe it's CG urine. I don't see a bathroom in that box.

Easy, -
"Dude! Someone shot hot yogurt all over my figures! What gives!!!!"

That may lessen the tension a bit.

WAIT a min! I JUST figured it out!
Aren't Tomax and Xamot the CG leaders? Hmmmmm...........
Maybe there was a little "Crimson Sabotage" going on there! (that or a little "Crimson Rage" maybe? :O )

Many of the new planes were like this and a few of the other new vehicle sets as well. Sounds like something in the production line is getting on them.

I was thinking: man, someone's got a weird idea for customs. Still, that odd, maybe a leak from the press of some oil. I have no idea.
