Statue Alien: Big Chap Legendary Scale Bust

[Morgul Matt]

Mine's still in transit from Indianapolis...

Has been for 96 hours

To quote my all time favourite comedy sketch show character, Unlucky Alf... bugger!

And yeah, blue does look great but red just screams Burke's death. But then that'd be more suited for the Warrior I suppose.

I'm conflicted - that's the Besta where I have my Iron Man, but the BC looked good in it...

Mine was delivered to work today but I wasn't there. I hope this impresses because with this and the GG Kenner Redux, I think that will be it for high priced Alien stuff for me.

You bought that thing? first buyer confirmed.

I still can't stop laughing (or crying, can't tell) at the price of that thing, but it does look cool.

I'm having the same issues with mine Colin I've got the Captain America PF and the Iron Patriot Lifesize Bust all due to arrive today and tomorrow respectively, however, my tracking hasn't updated since Saturday 22nd which was last tracked at Memphis so god knows whats going on?

I heard there was a fire at a major UPS hub recently so that may be part of the issue.

It's with Fed-Ex.

 

[Collectorcol]

Just spoke with Fed-Ex.
There was a backlog so any parcels sent via Economy are left 'til last.
Any compensation for failed delivery will be payed to the sender, Sideshow.

Booooo... Did they say how long the delay is expected to be?

Mine is on a flight to the U.K and will be delivered tomorrow, apparently.
Indianapolis to Stanstead... Customs... Sandycroft... My house... By tomorrow... Yeah ok!

 

[Python]

Best of luck haha. I guess mine will be stuck in the backlog at Indeanapolis for a few more days then. It hasn't updated since Saturday afternoon.

I had time to look at it more closely today and noticed more flaws with it. More damage to the dome, part of the dome has been painted black (hard to get a picture, it's worse than it looks in the image though), and the teeth look awful. I know the teeth are bad anyway, but are they all as bad as mine? I haven't had chance to look through the thread at other peoples pictures.

Other than the obvious disappointing damage, it's a very impressive piece. I'm surprised by the size difference between this and the warrior. Still no reply to my email about getting a replacement. Might ask of live chat later if I don't hear anything.

 

[Hemooo]

Had the chance to inspect mine throughly. two little scratches on the dome, some small black dots! & broken tendon. Not as bad as some of the pics posted here & from the normal viewing distance it's hardly noticeable (except for the broken tendon). luckily, the broken pieces are in the box, I glued it back & I cant tell the broken line anymore. I took pictures of the damage & will contact Sideshow, will ask for replacement but will be open for partial refund since it's hardly noticeable from the normal viewing distance.

Now, two steps back & in display, this thing has presence. It's BIG & the dome is awesome. I own all the preds/aliens legendary busts so far & if I have to sort them it will be: big chap, p1, warrior then p2.

Re: Alien Legendary Scale Bust

I was one of the first to get this and I sent Sideshow an email last week about the damage, but I very much doubt they will send a replacement to the UK.
It will be a partial refund or a full refund as they don't have any replacements or they have checked and they are no better than the one I have

I thinks that this Unlucky Alf sketch best describes how I'm feeling right now better than my own words ever could...

I had a replacement P1 LSB, the only other time I've asked for one was the Warrior LSB and we all know how that went (Did anybody get a replacement?)

Finally reached Stanstead and updated to 'No estimated delivery date available at this time'.

Worst thing is I'm actually expecting a crap piece which seems to be the high percentage here

 

[Morgul Matt]

Hey people, does anybody have a possible explanation for why I can no longer view posted videos on this site? It was fine yesterday but now any posted videos, including the one I just posted above, just appears as a black box with nothing to click on.

I've just been on the Favourite Game Music thread & can't see what people are posting. It's very annoying.

Certainly seems that way, but the damage free ones are very nice indeed. Cenobyte over on SF just got a real nice one so they do exist. Fingers crossed. I just tried to live chat Fedex but after putting in all my details and typing everything out it just says no one is available and exits! Not calling a premium rate number, I guess I'll get mine next week.

Try again tomorrow. I used Live Chat and was contacted by an 'Investigator' within the hour.
