I have actually yet to receive anything broken yet and have been very lucky so far. But I know of course that it will happen sometime based on the amount of reports here, and am not looking forward to go through the hassle, especially living abroad. But on the positive side when it actually happens, better to arrive broken from Sideshow than if you've bought it through eBay or something..my worst fear.
Yeah, bought one from a guy on the bay and was scared until I opened the box. But this guy I used was top notch. He even double boxed it for me with popcorn surround so it was floating on a cloud all the way to my doorstep. I was willing to pay extra for double box so it made it to me one piece.
