Sad story!

1st replacement:

2nd replacement:

 

[Ricardofeitoza]

Both together!

 

[The Josh]

That sucks? Did you buy it from someone who didn't have the box?

 

[Ricardofeitoza]

I got it from Sideshow. The original one had a chip so they sent me the 1st 'body only' replacent in an ordinary box. It arrived damaged. I called them and complained that it was damaged and it they could send it to me inside the original box.
They send the 2nd replacement in the same crap box and it also arrives damaged.
I sent an e-mail with pics to Jaclyn at SS and now I am just waiting to see what happens...

 

[Darth Waller]

Yikes. You would think they would know better than to package it like that.

 

[woodsy]

Nope. I believe those are body-only replacements he received directly from SS. I've gotten enough body and/or replacements parts from SS that I'd recognize their packing materials and packing methods anywhere.......

 

[The Josh]

Interesting. Did not know that. Hopefully, this time you can get it intact.

 

[Darth Waller]

Just call them up on the phone, raise your arms and scream

"You shall not pack like this!"

Do you ever not quote, Waller?

And did you get your Gandalf yet?

 

[The Ween]

Really hard to compete with Computerfly's amazing pictures but here are a few of mine 19/750 as well as some size comparisons.

There's that wonderful fireplace again! It's just stunning! And your collections is great too!

You are so right, of the two shipped thus far, Gandalf is my favorite.

Gandalf The Grey Maquette review @ TORn

SDCC + 5 additional days in San Diego = $_$

SDCC + 5 additional days in San Diego = $_$

That's why I'm in and out like a flash and staying in a friend's guest room. SDCC is very expensive, so if you see me eyeing something, slap me around a bit, and remind me it is only one year until CVI!

I do have my flight expense for $100 round trip, and my ticket cost me only $50 for two days (although my name will be Crystal!), so that and food and I'm done.

Well, if I can find a decent price on a slabbed G.I. Joe #2, I'll splurge...

 

[The Josh]

2 days at comic-con? Man that is way way way too short.

 

[furystorm]

Well, much better than two years ago when I only got there for Sunday.

And that was just to be sure to get my Mort!

Then I won another one at the show! Gave it away promptly in chat.
