Got my replacement base in today. It's in great condition. The only problem is they sent me the wrong freaking base!! They sent me the regular base with the red/black colors on the bottom, not the gold!
Bloody hell. I even made sure to email them for confirmation that the replacement would be the EX base before it shipped.
This is BS.
I know it's a minor issue, and you never see the underside of the base, but this isn't an EX base. If ever I went to sell this piece, the buyer would think I'm a scammer trying to pass a reg as an EX. I don't plan on selling it any time soon, but this seriously devalues the piece, does it not?
I contacted SS right away, so we'll see if they can resolve this. I guess now I have to wait another 2 weeks for a resolution...
Am I being ridiculous here? On one hand I feel like I should be happy with a base that's in good condition...on the other hand, it's a different piece than the original.
