Broke the set down and set them up

couple of obervations:

The left hand for Daina was loose and popped off rather easily

General Iron Bear's hat doesn't stay on. He also came with a knife but no sheath.

Horror Show came with a sheath in the back of his coat but no knife but came with an extra grenade but no where to put it

The IG Elite Guards (red coats) came with a pistol and a GOLD pistol that was not shown in the samples

Did any one else have an extra pistol that came with on of the OG but it wasn't either mentioned, shown or have place to put it? (most likely General Iron Bear)

yup that is all correct I really found the horror show with a sheath but no knife very interesting. I had one of my Heavy Weapon IG's come with 3 pistols so it came with one extra, and I also had an extra Stormavik file card. One of my elite guards had two right hands and no pistols at all. the quality control for these sets was pretty poor many people had missing pieces and even missing heads. I sent a message to the club about my elite guard so hopefully they will send me the parts I need or a figure that has a left and right hand and the guns.

I'm missing Stormavik's gear and stand in one of my sets. Sent an email to the club. Wish I would have checked them while I was there.

I also do not like the stupid little smirky face on Gen Iron Bear's face

Each of my Elite Guards came with an additional pistol and one of the four regular OG's hands popped off easily.

Well looks like the gun for Col Brekhov is an extra as I have two

Also-I took the knife for GIB and put it into Horror Show's sheath. Fits in there ok

Only big issue I have is that the sword sheath for one of the grey IGs popped off. it needs to be glued back on. I am going to email them later in the week and have it replaced. They are good for that.

My IG sword sheaths were bent, but overall no problem. I already set up an arctic diorama in my Joe room!

Mine haven't been mailed yet. That's the only issue with my set.
