Well, i received mine today and im also missing 1 quill, and 2 other were loose on the box. Youre right, the packaging on this statue sucks, the lower styrofoam plate, where the heads sit, is all torned apart. The styrofoam feels "dry", and if i so much as touch it, it instantly breaks into dozens of tiny *****... And finally, thanks for the netting on the legs, during shipping, the netting scratched the paint of the legs in some areas..... I have to agree with some of you guys, i dont think its a €1900 statue. I still like it, the sculpt is great and imposing, but i think somethings could have been better like, i think it lacks a little bit in the paint department, especially on the base, the string on the necklace, not having some metal springs on the plasma casters and on the chest plate (instead we got a rubber hose), even hot toys got these things right...
At the end of the day, i still prefer my CM predator, and it was cheaper than this one. Sorry for the rant guys, just wanted to give my 2 cents.
