I think before grip/sticker/scuff etc it's 2'10 ie. the smallest weight they come in, those lot and a very wet box have moved it to just over 2'12 finished. Wouldn't be surprised if it settles to 2'11 after it's wet journey.

It was hammering down and the postman made me get it out and check for damage the parcel was so wet. One side of the box was completely sodden, I imagine they left it on a wet surface for a long time. Another terrific example of royal mail tlc!. Bat was damage free thanks to the bubble wrap :-)

not sure how this image will work now:



maybe the hover needs to be replaced with something a little bigger - Fattus - do your worst...

Yes really pleased with it Matt and many thanks for getting mine out first. When I pulled it out of the box it was an OMG moment. Seriously big enough to scare young children and animals. I dread to think what the heavyweight versions are like. Not really tapped it too hard yet I'm giving it the soft knocking in treatment at the moment. Most impressive thing is the 30mm edges and pretty thick toe, combined with a massive spine (75mm?). The dimensions are staggering.
