Endoskull Roll Call...

[A-1188]

Just picked up a new hat stand.

I backordered this guy and he came today! :chew:chew:chew

Wait, what's with the teeth? Am I seeing wrong?

 

[Voorhees27]

No, teeth are fine, I was refering to the part where they are inserted, but I think just the photo, must be the flash. Unlike mine, yours looks perfect.

Just got my T-800 Endoskull delivered about an hour ago...this thing is freaken awesome! No problems with the bust itself...however the box it came in is another story. I have reason to believe this may have been someone else’s return or something. As the outer box it was delivered in was in better shape than the inner box holding the piece itself. The inner box has a HUGE tear in it about 4 inches long right across the front of it. Also the top corner of the inner box is totally crushed in...almost inverted....which is not seen on the OUTER box it was delivered in. Another thing really bugging me about the box is the styrofoam it came is completely broken in half...like someone tried forcing the bust into it which cracked it. I swear why cant I get anything from SS without some sort of problem. Other than that...no issues with the bust itself, but it still buggs me. You think the box issue is worth getting a replacement?

That would bug me, too, especially for $499 plus shipping. If it was someone else's return, do you think it was returned just for the box? Makes you wonder if the "found" busts are all returns of one type or another. What would really suck is if the found busts were the ones returned for scuffs and other similar damage.

Might as well call sideshow and be prepared to send pics to prove the outer shipper was fine while the inner product box was inexplicably beat up and torn. It will impact resale value...nobody wants a destroyed box on a "new" product.

I think you should just send me your Darkness 1:1 and you'll feel alot better about the whole endo-skull issue!

I just talked to SS reps, they said they would try to find me a replacment box. If they cant get one they will refund a portion of the cost for the piece....I still wont be happy with a refund though. Man first my 1:1 Iron man bust, now this! I cant wait so see what they send me with my next $3000+ orders. SS rep tells me the pieces are thoroughly inspected before being shipped out and no returns as sent back out as new. Then how do you explain the outer box being in better condition than the inner box??? I also noticed when I first opend the box their was no "quality control" tape holding the foam closed...it was just taped together with two straps of tape. Not a return my ass!...
Do these pictures look like a "NEW" item to you??

No, it certainly doesn't look new. The partial refund is at least a positive response.

Stupid question, but you did get the combat endo, right? The outer shipper says combat, but the pics you posted of the skull didn't look like a combat version.

Thanks bud, Im hoping they find a box to replace it with...im really bummed out about this whole thing once again. I waited to get this thing since the beginning of November along with my 1:1 Iron man and they both showed up damaged. Now I have to go through the whole return/replace/refund process all over again. Why cant I just open a new package, smile and place it on my shelf?...why is this so hard.

LoL...ya it kinda looks like the clean version now that I look at the pics again. But no, its the battle damaged one....they were also kind enough to send me a battle damaged box to go along with it...

actually, it's more like open a package, smile, TAKE A BIG WIF, smile again, and place it on the shelf...

I think you are over-reacting. Honestly, i took a look at your pictures and to me it looks as though the shipping styrofoam broke from impact which is reasonable considering how heavy these busts are. Plus, the shipping box could have fallen on that smashed corner and since they are both different types of boxes, maybe they handled the impact differently. One stayed smashed and the other kind of crumpled back to normal.

On top of all this, your bust arrived in great shape. That is awesome! Usually it's the other way around with these things. Man you are sweatin it for nothing in my opinion. No offense though.
