[Darth Zangetsu]

So I opened mine. Its beautiful! But I do have the same scratch by the passenger side window. I think I can live with it. Maybe. I need to think about it.

Really sorry to hear that man.

Actually I really envied you guys bought from SS in US (excluding the expensive shipping fee) because when the item has some fault you still have the option to keep it and still have some sort of "rebate" while in my country either you keep it or just full refund .... fyi mine also comes with some scratches but it was looking too stunning to ask for refund as the scratches was still " bearable " ...

That should be their new slogan: "Sideshow Collectibles: Live with it."

Thanks Sallah. On the one hand, I have been waiting for this car my whole life. Its unbelievable! I can't believe I have one. But the cost, and the fact I will have to deal somsomething like scratches. Is a bummer. I'm going to sleep on my decision. I'll pulk it out again and take another look in the morning to see how I feel.

Hi guys, can you give me exact dimensions of this beast, just length and width, thanks!

I am in the exact same boat as you are. This has been a dream come true for me. This is my gotta have it thing when I first saw it. The scratches on mine are bearable, but I don't think I have the time or energy to ship it back in hopes of getting a better one. It seems all my HT products have some minor flaws to it:

IM2 BW: weak ankles (bearable)
IM2 MKVI: open palm missing center clear plastic (fixed by HT)
DX09: cape has unopen holes meant for plastic rod (bearable)
AVG BW: blue piping scratched (bearable)
TDKR Batpod: don't know yet, still have to put the handles up, waiting for Selina
AVG MKVII: will find out in a couple of days

Anyone get reply back from BBTS about them opening the cars and checking for damage? I sent them a message days ago to get back to me and I have not heard anything yet.

I asked them to inspect mine also, still waiting to hear back also. It is in my pile of loot already. I'm assuming they were shipped directly to BBTS.

Mine gets here on Saturday. It better be flawless.

I got mine yesterday. 100% perfect condition. Really feeling for those who got a damaged one. I was nervous as hell opening mine up... so excited to finally get this after such a long wait... but wondering what problems I might find inside the package.

Looks great in its new home - a built-in-the-wall display that I started working on as soon as this was announced a couple of years ago.

An absolute jaw dropping addition to the collection.

Lovely display my friend, in that pic you'd think it was 1/18 scale. Cant imagine how cool this diorama looks up close! Great job!

That is one huge scrape! As i mentioned in the damage thread, those of you who are thinking these marks wre done by the armour shield are wrong. After consulting with a few Sideshow reps it seems to be aggreed that these marks are occurring from the Hot Toy factories where the vehicle is turned upside down to secure the bolts to the underside. It is most likely that the vehicle is being held in place by some vice like contraption whilst this process is taking part, hence why all the marks/scratches are so consistent in terms of appearance and location...

Sideshow have confirmed that the new batch of Batmobiles will be arriving next week and that the appropriate actions have been taken to hopefully prevent these marks from happening again in the future. My replacement will be amongst those arriving with the new batch so fingers crossed it arrives in A1 condition

Agreed, that looks amazing! But yeah, the car does look small in that photo lol.

Good to hear that Hot Toys is fixing the problem on future runs. Now they just need to make it right with current owners of the damaged ones.

It does seem unfair that Hot Toys are not re-imbursing those who have been affected by their faults nor have they even issued an apolgy on their website! and those who are being refunded are only recieving credits of $50-75 (which is what you'd pay these days to go to your local cinema or on a night out!) just doesnt seem like a logical credit after spending nearly $700!! i mean c'mon, that credit doesnt even cover the shipping costs!!
