It means stuck in customs, I believe.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't say that!  :'(

FedEx Clearance Process:

Quote
All shipments crossing international borders must be cleared through Customs in the destination country prior to being delivered to the recipient. Unless the sender specified a broker, FedEx submits shipments to Customs and other regulatory agencies. It is the sender's responsibility to provide the necessary and correct documentation. Shipments that require more than the FedEx International Air Waybill and Commercial Invoice may require more transit time. If shipments are held by Customs because of incorrect or missing documentation we may first attempt to notify the recipient.

Up & down like a Yo-Yo there.  :-\

We have a winner.  Same reason mine gets sent to chuckles and not direct to me.  That and the stupid brokerage fees >:(  Canada = 3rd world.  

I'd rather pay less and wait longer.  Silly, but true.  

BTW, bust was still available this morning.  Can't last much longer, can it?

Coolness, my Han busts arrived this afternoon #1393, #2073. :)  Now, all I need to get my hands on Luke to complete the Stormie duo.

I'm hoping I've got a Han bust waiting at home for me tonight as well...

So, looks like it's time for Round 3 on the Gold/Chrome Sandtrooper:

Do I hear $3K?!   :-X

What'd the last one end at again?  Can't recall anymore...  That first one (if it was really legit) got BIN'ed for only $500.  Talk about a "bargain"!

Cool deal.  Had my bust waiting at home tonight (Friday).  FedEx guy was even clever enough to stash it behind a potted plant up on the porch, which was a nice gesture.  Even better, was that my wife didn't ever notice it, so that's one more thing I'm able to "sneak" into the house without her knowing!   ;)

Haven't opened it up yet though.
