You may have received a set returned by another customer and that customer has played with and broke the arm and just glued it back before returning the figure to Sideshow.
Recently, I have been receiving what I suspect to be figures previously shipped out but returned to Sideshow and then re-shipped to me. This is especially for items that were sold out and then came back in-stock. Therefore, I am no longer buying such items from Sidehow anymore.
Nowadays, I only buy pre-ordered items to avoid this problem. Saves me lots of headache.
I asked this question way back if anybody ever had an experience like this ever, about getting a 'refurbished' figure. This is all the more reason not to be on the waitlist when it comes to figures with such QC issues.
