1/6 Hasbro Ark of the Covenant Problem! Help?

[SAB]

Hi all,
Not sure if anyone can help but thought I'd try here....
Just received my 1/6 Hasbro Ark I bought from ebay and am quite impressed with it....

...except the middle bar on both sides is missing!? The alternating red/yellow bar that runs along each side of the ark is not there.
(the wooden poles for the 4 ends were all included)

So bummed...and don't want to pay return shipping to the US from OZ for a product I'm probably not going to be able to get again!

Any customizers interested in making those polls for me?


*edit: originally said Mattel, should read Hasbro*

cant promise anything soon... but a friend of mine has a woodworking lathe in his shop... been wanting to turn some actual wood poles for mine for some time.. if I do I would be more than happy to do a handful of sets to sell to members here as well... can't beat real wood poles for this as opposed to plastic...

I happily removed those from my Hasbro Ark as soon as I got it. It displays much better without those cheap poles and plastic "cloth" bars.

Hmm, best way, I dunno. I carefully pried mine off (with a small flat screwdriver I believe) being careful not to damage the finish. It was a little tricky. Looks much, much better with those ghastly pieces gone. SAB was lucky to get one without them, imo.

 

[LordRagnar]

yeah i just gentley peeled them off, the cloth is adhered with a stay tacky glue so its very easy to peel them off,(carefully and slooooowly), and then tack them down onto the dowels using the reverse of the technique you peeled them off with. And yeah brady, is your number the same? ill shoot you a text or call you from the store tomarow. Every fig is done except marion and toht.
