Hey Shadow,Just so you know it can happen when it comes from a retailer that doesn't open the box to inspect the items inside,like for example Sideshow,BBTS,CSC,etc..They send out blind boxes because if they open the box then it is not considered MINT.You my friend have been very lucky that you haven't come across any problems like that,which is surprising, considering all the _____ing you do about your figures!^_^
everytime I bought a figure I ask to open the box and check if all is flawless official retailers included...but sometimes is happened due low attention some hidden issues,but any time when I have request a replacement all is gone perfect..
"which is surprising, considering all the _____ing you do about your figures!"
what do you mean writing this?
I really take care of all my figures...the problems I have got is for low QC service...I have the new god figure received with a broken arm..and looooose eyes, I asked for a replacement (paid the shipping)and I pose it (beijin pose) in a cabinet for 20 days (I was in holiday) when I am returned I have found my figure all stained and with big tears under the elbow (Not my fault) but cheap materials..
just in case when I have got my scarface war figure I've discovered my braclet was missing
asked another already
luckly EB & HT have a good CS...
if you want take a look at my collection and see by yourself how I take care of all my figures...
