Got home and took a picture of mine. Would you guys classify this as a "problem" or pretty much normal? It seems like every time I visit this thread, I find more and more issues lol...

in short, everyone has some issues because it is the SS. you have to accept that and move on or return. My personal opinion.
So your visor didn't look like mine does?

Look at the photo above... It looks like there is a little weathering on the bottom of the visor also... Mine looks to have a tiny amount too... You are ok dude.. Just relax and enjoy your statue
What's funny is when I buy an already sold out statue on eBay, I am less stressed and picky than when I buy it new from Sideshow lol.
OCD is a *****
Well, after many months waiting, my Fett finally arrived.
The worst problem, the chipped base. But hey, at least they tried to paint over the chip amirite?

The nice big scratches on the exclusive rifle:

To some of the more minor nitpicks:
Why is there a number 9 on his chest? I like the font, just not on my Fett. Looks like he's been priced for a flea market.

This one I'm not sure if it's actually a problem or just the way these are made. Could be they're all like that? The thruster on the left is kind of "wandering" off to the side. Looks odd in person, but if this is how they're made, it's an artist choice not a problem.

I was pretty done at that point, so there may be others. First thing I saw was a dime size painted over chip in the base, so I admit we got off to a bad start here. The good news is the decal doesn't look too bad on mine. I can't comment on how it looks put together, I didn't even bother to assemble it. Hope you guys have better luck.
What is it with Sideshow taking an eternity to reply to emails as of late ?
When I received mine last Monday I had an small piece broken off the back near the jet pack. I emailed support with pictures that day, took 7 days for a reply & god knows how long it'll take for them to respond to their unsatisfactory $25 credit reply I sent. At this rate it could take weeks to get this sorted.
Who canceled on their Ex boba? I bought a regular one after I figured I would not get the ex boba on wait list. Low and behold my wait list was fulfilled and now I have the opportunity to get the EX version.
I ended up passing on the exclusive since I would never display him with the ROTJ gun anyway.
Well, my below problems have been reviewed by SSC as such:
Thank you for your email.Please know that I have looked over your photos and the only issue that I see is the chip on the base. As for the rest of the item there are all normal paint variation of the item. As these are all hand painted items, you will be able to find similar variations on every piece if you look at it close enough.
As we do not have a replacement for the base I can offer you a credit of $50.00 for the chipping. If you would like to accept the credit please let me know by March 31,2016 and I will be happy to assist you!

So, one thing we know is basically they're okay with crappy paint work, misaligned parts, and big scratches as they basically reply with comments that I don't know what I'm talking about as they tell me what the issues are with the statue I have right in front of me. Regardless, I will be sending back my Boba Fett and doing without over having a big chip right in front. Not the response I was wanting at all.
sorry to hear Avenger.
"normal paint variation" is their way to force people to pay for return shipping. You would have had to do that if not for the chip to the base.
It is really sad when I company has to essentially lie to try and make it as difficult as possible for someone to return something. I remember their customer service dept telling someone that his bent cody was "battle damage". sigh.
