One's a v1 foamwinian (i.e. the same kind that fly rather well, just ask Tom).

Just got mine from the post office. Tin has a tiny indentation on the bottom which I can easily live with but apart from that in perfect nick.
And I got the green n blue foamwinians.

Anybody out there getting different mixtures, like a red n green, yellow n blue etc. or is it just these 2 variations?

Oh yeh, duh.
I guess it just didn't click that those were foam. I thought they might have been specially crafted Darwinian paper airplanes.

It's really nice how this thread has evolved from a complaint about defects to a 'buzz' about people opening their tins. I mean that in earnest since the issue is in hand and more people seem to be happy than not.

Scotland might be a bottleneck...I ordered for zanzer7 in Denmark who got his the other day...maybe my foamwinians are in formation and so are moving a bit slower :wink:

I got mine yesterday, blue (yay!) and green foamwinians.
The tin is huge!
Loved the art book, and haven't had time to open the games yet.

Also, I wonder why they didn't post the third postcard from the left in NeoThermic's pic on a Multiwinia Monday. :roll: :lol:

atlast i got mine today had to pick it up from the post office as i wasn't home yesterday. there's a few dents on the tin (on the lid) which i slightly pounded a bit with a meat tenderiser :shock: and everything is 99% back to normal. apart from that happy with my adopted MW's...

time to introduce them to Tabasco Sauce® and fish and chips and non of those crappy food that IV staff has been feeding them :lol: have you seen how skinny they are.
