Holy ____!! Galactus!!...Link to Buy in 1st Post!.

I was told by sideshow to not reorder this again directly from them because I guess I'm to "picky". Buy it from a local retailer lol

That's just wrong on their part. I could understand if someone kept returning a statue to get the perfect one but to try a second time to get a good statue...what's wrong with that?

Wow, not nice... I mean come on. Whatever happen to the customer is always right? It's not like it's free. The buyer just wants a undamage one.

Sorry to hear that. Hope they can get you a new one since it is really broken.

I think Sideshow have this policy in returns/exchanges purely for the larger items like your Galactus's or LSF's...their theory is that there is a high chance that the replacement could also be defective and therefore they would advise you to order your larger sideshow pieces from a local retailer rather than from themselves.

In all fairness, i think that Sideshow replacing a damaged item once should be compulsory, however, when it comes to a second or third time then i can understand their theory.

Quite a few freaks, including myself, got a more than satisfactory replacement first time round so you can mention this to them Theri...otherwise i hope you get to sort your situation out one way or another my friend

I guess SS has very little faith in the quality of their statues.

I understand there point of view but as a consumer its just frustrating.

owell one less defect to worry about. smashing another one to get my money back. They just lost a sale directly from me and i doubt i'll be reordering this again. They probably lost a few more on this board because of them cutting corners on the QC.

I don't wanna see my statues lose value because of a major defect.

Could you not pick this up from a local retailer Theri?

I could but its hard to afford 800 large on one order.

So what you looking to get in its place Theri?

I'm prob gonna try and invest into another galactus. Like I said, I love the sculpt and and the classic colors of galactus. I'm not gonna keep something that majorly defected that I cannot fix or simply paint over. The way it stood I'd have to break it to check the wiring.

Good plan, Galactus is just an awesome collectors piece and I doubt we'll see another again in the near future at this scale

Very true. Thanks why I had to get him.

Damn! It took me 40 minutes to find where to fit Silver surfer. WTF! I was looking for a gap in all those lines of his hands. When I was almost giving up and asking about it here I realized the different grey on the gap plastic cover.

Lol if I buy this at a retailer how the heck do I carry it through the train and walking 45 mins in NY city to get to my car? I had a huge hard time with snake eyes and it was not fun at all. I believe galactus is bigger than snake eyes and timer box?

Simple answer is you don't

The box isn't that big lol. It can be done.

Yea I was quite surprised how small the box was relative to an equal height statue like Sauron..

 

[Commander Cody]

That is the Bowen Designs chrome museum Silver Surfer. One of BD's finest statues. It goes for a pretty big chunck of change nowadays, but IMHO, it is worth every penny.

awesome, thanks for the reply man. SS is one of my favorites.

WOW! great to hear the box is not too big! saves space and I may buy this next time when im in NY when they have a statue discount day of 20% or more.

 

[Collectorcol]

I knew there would be a discount involved

What's wrong with saving money? I hate paying full price nothing wrong with that.

 

[amalak]

Would an 800 dollar statue really be a part of the 20% discount? that's a lot of money for a retailer to give up.

I think they said every statue in the store. It's that huge 2 level comicshop in time square, midtown comics. They always had sales on all statues in the store. I bought the snake eyes from them in the past with the discount. The draw back is the high tax. so maybe if I order from ss I get the points and no tax. That may be the way to go?
