1/6 Hot Toys MMS - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker (Dark Side) Collectible Figure

[tjdavis1138]

Weird: got notice from PopCultcha on 12/11 that my Anakin had shipped... now, 5 days later, just got a notice tonight that... it has shipped.

PopC is full of surprises.

Same here. This will be the last time they surprise me. I don’t like surprises.

I did the best I could to capture Anakin's dark side.

I can't get over how awesome this figure is. I liked the original Anakin but the Sith Eyes version is amazing....really glad I picked it up.

Does anyone have the packaging that they would be willing to sell me? This is how mine arrived today from an ebay seller and I'm super upset about it.

How does that even happen?!

Can you contact the seller about getting a replacement box?

I don't know...USPS never fails to find new ways to disappoint me.

I contacted the seller but he's just a guy, not a store. So he doesn't have replacement boxes. That's why I'm hoping someone on here is willing to part with theirs. [emoji1696]

Man, that's rough. I've had a few smashed HT boxes from ebay purchases, but they really managed to mangle that one. Hopefully you can find another..

As a seller, this is why I never ever send stuff only in the "shipper" boxes.. Honestly I wish they would do away with the shippers so people are forced to properly pack stuff.

Yea from now on I'm just going to ask sellers to pack it in an extra box.

One piece from the base is broken off too so I'm really bummed about that.

Sorry to see that...they really did mangle it didn't they. I hope you can track down a replacement

Get ebay involved by opening a case. The seller will likely offer you a proportional refund, like perhaps 15-20% if that's any consolation. The seller won't want that returned to him.

As a seller and buyer on eBay for almost 20 years. I will say that you can open an eBay case and win to get your refund back.
You need to open the case before 30 days ends. The seller will most likely have to pay full refund with shipping.
Be careful, if he can prove you opted out of insurance then you might only get a partial refund after return. Everyone loses with ups.

I too have learned lessons like this. Ups sucks

I was thinking about doing that. I've been messaging the seller and he told me to open a case with USPS which I've done, but if I can't get anything out of that then I'll have to open a case on Ebay.

He said if I can't get a resolution with USPS that he won't refund, but I think if I open a case I could win.

I feel bad because he seems like a nice guy and it's not his fault, but I don't think I should have to pay for it either.

Found one guy on here, but he was asking for $50. That seemed like a little too much to me. It's almost a quarter of the price for a lot of figures on my wish list.

I don't really know the going rate for HT boxes though so am I wrong?

Yea if I can resolve it with USPS then I'll have to do this unfortunately

To be fair, you can open ebay case and most likely win, sellers are legally responsible for an item until arrival. Tho since it was smashed by usps (not surprised, I got some stories) it would be kind of a **** move, but understandable.

This is mainly why I buy figures etc. from stores, and ebay only for special items hard to get elsewhere.
