Come on Exclusive waitlist conversion. I have faith.

Ah yes, Roman letterals.

I don't know if I can wait THAT long. I would hope we get our conversion sooner as people cancel their orders since they're being charged now.I'm waiting too...
But if its a split shipment, we may never convert until March.
I did have one issue unfortunately. As if the shoulder armor wasn't already enough of a pain to attach, one of my missile versions is completely missing the peg. And I checked the box thoroughly and it's nowhere in there. In fact there's no sign that anything was glued in at all. Lol

Does Sideshow handle defects like this or do they refer you to HT directly?

These things shouldn't happen for the price we pay. What if I buy it from a random store and something's broken/missing?
Got mine today. I have to admit I was feeling a bit burnt out on IM figures lately with this being my 7th diecast, but after opening this one up and trying a quick pose with all the weapons attached, I am absolutely loving how damn cool he looks. I wasn't totally sure about the red at first, as it did have a weird hue in daylight that seemed a bit off to me, but in my darkened display room it appears as more of that reddish/burgundy like the others.

Yeah Sideshow will replace it, as they did recently with my scratched up Mk 50 helmet. Unfortunately I ordered this figure from Monkeydepot (as I ordered late and they were the only ones left not charging tax) so not sure how they'll handle it.
I agree this is something that shouldn't happen on high-end collectibles, but IMO it's akin to some of the magnets that have fallen off due to the weak glue - these things happen on occasion. As it's on the underside of the piece and is invisible when displayed, I'd probably just just fashion a pin of the same diameter & length from something I had on hand in my workshop and super glue it into place (especially if Sideshow required a complete figure swap). Now if they'll just send out the replacement piece without the hassle of an exchange then that's another story...
Yeah I'm sure I could create a new peg easily with some styrene rods I have, and normally I don't make a big deal over minor damage that I can repair myself (since I'm usually making small mods and improvements to figures anyway), but given the price I paid for this one I figured it was at least worth trying to get a replacement part first.
