Sideshow have posted out my head and mint julep. They'll arrive some time in the next week or two, I expect. Sideshow are looking into the jacket and talking to BCS, but since my issue there was so clearly an unusual manufacturing error, it should be fine. Sideshow have been really nice. Every time I have dealt directly with BCS's customer service they have been really nice, too. I'm on the path to coming out of this a happy chappy!
I thought my stand was broken until someone explained how the light up feature worked. I had just checked the instructions, too, and missed it. Stupid me. But the sensor! It's great! I feel like a super spy using it. I wish all light up stands worked this way - I'd use them much more often.
Bought Goldfinger on blu ray today for about five bucks. I'll pop that in later and I am sure I will love my rapidly improving figure more.
