 Not only does it look like a Battletech droid but as I just cashed my
birthday gift certificate in on one of the Warlords, shudder!

 Mere coincidence, but I also picked up WD 208 at the same time with this
ego boo article on how finely made the GW figs are, and then I opened the
Warlord box!
 Most of the pieces are fine, but...
  The main bodys' back section is warped past the point of usability.
   There is a most interesting S curve through the piece as well as a
   30 degree twist through its long axis.
  The Body to Hip connection plate has the top part of the mold shifted
   about 1-2 mm from the bottom part.
  One of the Carapace weapons/mounts is missing.

 And for this I spent $30US? Ahhh yes, the fine quality control GW has!
 Even the most cursory of examinations by the molders should have
caught and rejected the back plate.

 Now I just hope the dealer will take it back, maybe I can exchange it
for a nice Battletech Battlemaster or some such.
