I got a complete lemon. My strobe lights were both broken off on the front. The one I found rattling around in the box was broken off cleanly and would be an easy gluing fix and it looks like the other one would be too, if it was included, that is. That?s the deal-breaker. The other one is nowhere to be found. The blue tube on the right side of the vehicle had what looked like the remnants of tissue paper embedded in the paint. I managed to scrape most of it off but it?s still visible. The rear lights don?t rotate either. I thumped on them and got them to turn a handful of times but it was of no use.
I contacted Blitzway on Wednesday and on Facebook on Thursday and I?ve heard nothing.i contacted Sideshow on Thursday and heard back pretty quickly. Like others have heard in this thread, they have no replacement stock. They offered me a $200 Sideshow card or the complete return/refund.
I opted for the return. The tissue paper thing I could live with. I?m planning on getting a case so I could even live with the light problem, plus I could convince myself that that may be fixable if I was ever brave enough to crack it open, or let it run long enough, or keep thumping it trying to awaken it. The broken and missing light though? I?d never be able to ignore it.
BBTS is still taking orders. It?s about $45 more than Sideshow was and I?m losing like $80 in rewards points I was hoping to use on the Bill & Ted figures. The wait between sending the bum Sideshow one back and BBTS shipping theirs is going to kill me. If they don?t come through with my new order I?m going to be devastated. Like I feel like I need to be put on sedatives to deal with the anxiety over imagining that BBTS email saying they can?t fulfill my order after I?ve already sent the broken one back.
