Yeah the peg was broken but I remember Jason saying something about using epoxy. I got Raiden for $145!

You're wrong about Old Snake, he isn't badly painted- he's barely painted at all. All they did was smack some lip color and painted the eye!

I have no idea how the sculpt ended up being so good yet they forgot to paint it. On the plus side though, anybody who paints their Old Snake will see major improvements right away since the sculpt is actually very close to the 3D model, I've checked.

Anybody has the Olive Drab? I wonder if it suffers the same issues as the regular Snake. Didn't this board start off with that rumor that the Olive Drab is better?

I had Olive Drab originally and I sold it like an idiot. I didn't notice anything different between that and Blue.

im leaving the thread.

I got mine with Old Snake so in reality I got Raiden for 250$. This was 3 years ago mind you.

Aww c'mon Kiva, you'll find a good deal with some persistence. just follow the "way of the Jason" if you know what I mean.

Ouch. What could have possessed you to do that man?

I bet that The Boss will become super-expensive, too. All of us trashed the figure, but going by what we've seen in the price increases of every MGS figure so far, it's only a matter of time before the same thing happens to The Boss.

I feel like doing the same, who was dumb enough to sell Raiden for so low?!

This is back when I wasn't sure of collecting. I honestly think it was the first 1:6 I've ever gotten. Croc Cap Naked Snake was my first 1:6 I kept and still have.

It may end up being more sought out than Naked Snake for all we know.

Like with all of them, Snake will be in tip top shape or be riddled with QC issues.

Exactly that's why I'm not excited for it playing $3 to $400 for a good piece that's ruined by paint.

Does SSC give refunds? I know they won't return the deposits.

Depends that's a good question.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Depends that's a good question.

Well... I'm not sure if I will get it from them directly or from BBTS. I could get it through SSC and flex pay it and risk getting stuck with a lemon or another ****ty replacement or get it through BBTS and more than likely get a full refund.

 

[Solidus]

You've got 30 days to return an item from the day it's delivered. SSC will refund your money, except for the NRD.

I guess it would be worth the risk since I can't drop the kind of cash for a premium format at one time. Do they pay return shipping?

BBTS is awesome. I wish if I could use them more often. But, SSC's flex pay just makes things way more affordable for me.

That's a good prediction, Solidus! I think for that I should get her, that is after I get the DX10, and the DX08, and I was planing on getting the Sideshow 1/6 Lara Croft too.

I feel like doing the same, who was dumb enough to sell Raiden for so low?!

If it's any consolation, I bought the Black PAK Raiden from the same seller for $122..

I hear ya. If BBTS has a payment plan option I think SSC would lose a nice amount of business since BBTS's CS is amazing. I never had an issue with a return or replacement.

Although with flex pay I was able to get the 1:4 Endoskeleton and there was no way I could of gotten it otherwise.

They do, if its a defect. You'll have to fill in the return request form on their site, and upload them pictures of the issues. They took take care of my problems quite efficiently. I even had some additional figure boxes shipped to me for free.

 

[Jameson Rook]

Plssken enough with The Last of Us gifs! I can only play it (plus a crap load on my wish list) when I have the cash.

Good deal. I have no problem taking pictures of issues but it's up to them to decipher it in the images I send since my camera is terrible

You have to get it man, best game so far this decade.

There's also Alter Ego comics. I never tried them, but they offer flex payments, and I heard that their CS was also good. Their prices are also somewhat cheaper that SSC. A lot of people here seem to like them.

I will give them a look see whenever it goes up for order. BBTS likes to price gouge
