Ironically better in some ways o.O?

In all honesty I suggest this even for models you bought in store. As if you go threw costumer service you get to keep the defective model for your bitz box, and get a brand new one in the mail.
If you exchange it in store, then the store must keep the defective model to send back so they can get it refunded them selves.
I myself haven't had any problems with the finecast models I've bought, and I absolutly love them. My Asdrubael Vect conversion so was soo easy. Try doing that in Pewter (no thanks). I can't wait to customize even more now because of the ease to do so with the Finecast. I'm super happy that GW decided to do this. Besides they just started Finecast, the first go at everything is never perfect, hold your horses and it will get fixed..
I have yet to see a comparison myself but some people I trust have suggested that the finecast model's are larger than the Metal ones due to the absence of contraction. This may mean that several power armored and other models that desperately need a sizing redo may appear at the correct size, or at least notably less midget. I'm interested to find out if this is the case for Dante and Mephiston in particular, Abbadon is still a midget however.
PS: what is the materials bend strength in other parts of the world. In OZ the sprue piece I got a look at was quite elastic and I would like to know if this is due to the ambient temperature here as it is only winter and if they are this flexible now I think many people will be left with puddle's come summers 40 degrees Celcius.
Yes apparently there are some serious temperature problems, though it seems unclear if its some batches or all of them.
I didn't care about the striking scorpions, they're stable and are fine in metal, but Harlequins now? Damn it I bought 10 of them not long ago!
Any timeframe on the release?
I'd love some Harlequins.... I was also waiting on Karamazov....
