what Lego?
I just got Barad Dur

The new Lamborghini. Barad Dur looks the goods, though. I hope the eye of sauron lights up and rotates like the lighthouse kit...

Well, spoke with a representative at BBTS today. They have no figures available for exchange or replacement. Also learned that I am not the first to contact them about the blue stains on a Padme figure, which likely means there are in the batch they received with the issue.

Which sucks.

So, risk the ever-increasing after market price jumping even higher, gamble on another online retailer that may have a different batch (potentially different issues) or throw in the towel & keep this one and never take off the shawl.

I do like the figure, I just wish that HT had a better grip on quality. Another shot as I mull it over...

That stinks about BBTS, did you try the hair dryer on the colored areas?

Pretty sure it was an easy fix on the Leia Hoth figure when I did it (the dots seemed to be cold/heat activated).

Hmmm...interesting. I'll look into that more.

I'm building Rivendell at this moment. So many of my "toys" seem to stay in the box for longer and longer until I get to them. Bad Batch figs are still all in sealed shippers, c'mon Tech, your brothers need you to free them!
