Hahaha wow. He probably was pissed

Jesus, was he a vampire or something? His last name wasn't Cullen was it?

Was out running errands and on a whim I stopped by the LCS to pick up a couple comics for some fun weekend reading.

Lo and behold they had Allied Cap on display in full glory. HO-LEE CRAP you guys aren't kidding when you say he looks awesome in person. Sold, sold, sold.

Did you snag him?

If it was, did you ask him if sparkled and lived in the forest with the rest of his fairy kin?

I dont think they really care anymore, they are saying take it or leave it seems I'll have my first full refund. Itms a clearly a common issue, if there is not enough replacements they should do a new batch!

That's a bummer, sorry to hear about this.

Was the UPS guy grouchy when he dropped off your package?

Yeah, but he is a beast and heavy. The shields are better on the original though.

. I knew it would strike a nerve. I think the sculpt is beautiful. Just don't like the pants or the price. Cheers! TFA Cap has the best shields hands down.

Group pics , ss had made statues worse and worse in the past few years.

So excited to finally get a Cap statue! With the way this was turning out I knew I had a winner.

Such a dismal 2014 with SS so far. 8 orders shipped and most have had problems.
- Batman: cracked cape, damaged belt, but got replacements. After replacements, a Winner.
- Punisher: excellent! No issues at all. Another winner, right out of the box!
- Black Widow: some of you saw that huge glob of paint in between the breasts on mine, and the googly eyes. SSC replaced the whole body, but the replacement had a lot of dangling threads on the cloth. I settled since the eyes and breasts were good.
- Harley Quinn: another cross eyed chick, I didn't contact SS, I just settled with her eyes not being in the same direction since the rest of it was fine.
- Apoc: mine was rather decent compared to others. SSC replaced my rusted cables but I took a credit for the missing paint spots.
- JSC Spidey: considering the entire sculpt was altered, baited and switched, it at least had no real QC issues for me given none of them turned out close to the proto. Not quite a winner because of the switch, but certainly not a dud.
- Superman: after waiting extra months and seeing so many others get a statue they called perfect, of course my the base came with a small chip. I was sent a replacement base that didn't fit the statue, so I kept the chipped base and a got a credit which I applied to this Cap...

Surely my luck would run better with this Cap, right?

Nope.

I was quite happy as I unpacked my Cap but my high came down when I lifted the gun out of the box. Any bit of excitement I have is gone. The Ex, the reason for ordering directly from SS instead of cheaper somewhere else, is broken. I'll request a replacement but apparently there are none already. So disappointed. I know things will happen but I don't want a house full of misfit statues because SSC sends the problem statues to me.

I know there's collectors who've had no issues with SS and I hope you continue to fare well but based on my experiences this year I have very little faith left for SSC. I should just expect issues. Out of 8 statues this year 6 had issues. Granted SSC remedied some of them (Batman) but I settle too often.

Bring on the XM Phoenix.

Ha! Actually Not at all. He was in a pretty decent mood.

So finally got a respond from SS. They are offering me 60$ credit. Yeah right... like that's gonna do it. I emailed them back and got another email right after saying they won't be back in office before dec 1st ??? They got 5 days weekends ever there ? wtf ??

 

[BigWhammo]

I was going to brag on my perfect ex that came today but after reading peedi's post I will simply sit here and be thankful.

It's the Thanksgiving Holiday. I'm not back in the Office until Dec. 1st either.

I have a similar issue but not as bad as this, that's why I was requesting pics a couple of days back at that section you just posted. Luckily I could pull the pants up so this defect isn't visible but yeah... I know it's there...

Since I have a nice amount of statues, particularly older ones that are about or near flawless or as good as it gets, all I can do is be thankful that prior to this year I was getting a greater amount of issue-free pieces, or at least very minor issues. It just sucks that as a relative late comer who missed characters I love like Cap, I'm finally getting the chance to get them and they show up with problems.

But don't let me spoil your fun. My issue is my issue. Thanks for the consideration but you have a right to be happy and post about it.

While indirectly bragging...
