Lubed-up Crimson Guardsmen
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.

I know it sounds weird, but I swear, they were all greasy-sticky. Nobody else's were like this?

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.
