Stop it. Stop it. STOP IT! :lol

If we get a bad part, we have to e-mail proof to Sideshow and destroy it.

Congrats Hotking! And yes, that's the advantage of getting your orders via store pick-up. I got my Python from a local dealer. Noticed after a week that one of the scratches on the chest isn't a scratch decal but an actual scratch! Took it back to the shop, where I chose from 3 more boxes before getting the prefect one. And I wan't just picky -- the storekeeper was surprised to see that HT sent them bad units. Now they'll send 'em back for replacements.

Thanks Heubert I agree with you on the advantage of store pick-ups.
Singapore and The Philippines have it good as opposed to Europe and the USA.
Sometimes these bad units fall into the hands of non-fussy collectors and Hot Toys get away with it.

With Hot Toys packed schedule, I am sure paint smudges and some bad parts will be found from time to time.
However, Hot Toys is not making me excited anymore and it is easy for me to not pre-order any of their recent offerings.

Hahaha Yankees, then the acceptance of the bad part will depend on your threshold.
There are certain bad parts that can be accepted as destroying a figure/parts can be "mind blowing"!!
