Statue Alien: Big Chap Legendary Scale Bust

[Collectorcol]

Your dome looks pretty good apart from the filler at the front, that's quite a gap.
Are they all like that?

 

[Morgul Matt]

PANIC OVER!!!

I've found a way to display him with without seeing the scuff on the dome...

In this picture he looks a wee bit inebriated to me.

 

[Collectorcol]

Exactly what I thought. Full of Christman Spirits

He's gone from menacing to happy drunk

Got my invoice from Fed Ex and it's £66.04

That's on top of shipping ?

Yup! Totally random

Yup! And that's Pounds not Dollars

Great pics Python! Do you photo shop it?

Thanks, all I did with these is crop and resize them in paint.net.

I know Col, none at all on the prototype, so annoying!

Yeah collecting Sideshow abroad is hard.

This is what I'm expecting, too. Warrior was, I think, £57.50, so I'm not surprised. Matt's bill must be a mistake though, surely. Near £80 can't be right, can it?

Col gets a bill for £35 & gets a free camera , Rizob gets a bill for £66.04 & Matt gets one for near £80.

Are FedEx deliberately taking the piss?

I know, I even tried to picture the scratches, not to post but for when SS asks to see them, they arent showing in pictures, probably due to the thickness of the plastic used which distorts everything beneath. Believe me though, they are there and they are hard to ignore in person.

My local delivery guy is great, but somebody in finance really hates me.

They want to keep me happy, I sent about eight emails regarding my Red Sonja bill.

Michael @ Sideshow has already had three emails tonight
If you miss out on an Ex WL they offer you a discounted Reg.
I've been offered that same discounted Reg despite losing the Ex I ordered, and have been looking forward to, a year ago.
Hassle, stress and disappointment! Think I'll be ordering locally, if atall, from now on.

Yeah they've got to be making it up as they go along.

I think this is my last Sideshow piece now anyway. Every time I order something now its with fear of how damaged the item will be rather than the excitement of having a new collectible, and my fear nearly always turns out to be warranted. I still want to get a nice Predator piece some day but not until Sideshow do something about their joke of a QC department. The Fed Ex bill is just an extra kick in the teeth!

Me too. I have the Masked Hunter LSB ordered for this very reason but that's not due until June. & I also have the Christopher Reeve Superman PF ordered but after these 2, no more for a long time! Well, unless that new Freddy Krueger PF looks as awesome as the concept art makes it out to be. But then, yeah, that is definitely it for me. However, the concept art for that new Jason Voorhees PF does make it look awfully tempting.

Well UPS tracking says they received my return today (although no email from SS yet). So someone's WL should convert

 

[ascello]

No replacements...offered $40 credit to keep my broken bust or refund if I send it back. Not happy in the slightest...

 

[mr.thrifty]

When they give me the go ahead to smash mine I'll post pics if people want them.

Awesome!




btw... You suck sideshow for ruining all of these peoples Christmas alien!!!!

It's a Christmas miracle! He looks great!

In all serious, I'm really sorry to hear you got a **** deal from SS. Instead of offering a discount, they should just replace it with a reg. I know you'd miss out on the nameplate but at least you'd have a bust. The only issue would be getting a good replacement.

 

[Collectorcol]

Thanks Zod.

I can take a chance on a Reg and $65 credit.
Problem is will the Reg be as bad.

My issue is anyone who has an Ex WL that doesn't convert gets offered a discounted Reg anyway.
So I have the disappointment and hassle of losing my Ex only to be offered what I would of got if I'd Waitlisted him
$65 doesn't compensate for the inconvenience, stress & hassle caused by lack of factory Q.C imo.

If it was transit damage I could accept and understand but some ****** boxed my Bust with a deep scuff and glue residue all over the front of the dome
