a dreadful problem...

as a collector one of the worst things is; finding ur grail, buying it, waiting for it in the mail....to finally opening it up and realizing that the piece doesn't fit in the planned space u were going to display it.

i got the D. vader bust today, had a space on my cabinet designed for this piece using measurements i grabbed off the net. im maybe a quarter of an inch off, the bust is too tall, it wont fit into the shelf. great. fantatstic. swell. perfect. mad::

Is that with or without the helmet on?

without the helmet it fits fine. but that arch running down the center of the outter shell/visor of the helm killed me....the thing is, my wife says i can't display it without the helmet...she says its scary. so im pretty much screwed.

Can you buy another cabinet?

Display it somewhere else, till you can get the cebinet fixed or get a different cabinet?

Can you get another wife?

How many wives do you think she needs?

EDIT: Oh. Now I get it.

As usual, the reality is much less interesting than what it could have been.

10???

You just saved reality from being normal, and now have my undivided and absolutely fascinated attention.

Lower the shelf. Next!

It is always better to make sure to give yourself some extra room on measurements when building a space out for something like that.

Guess you found that out the hard way, sorry.

Yeah always give yourself an extra couple of inches or wait for it to come and then measure it accurately.

Since when is it ok to violate the profanity filter?

Totally agree and sorry for your problem BC.

When I had made the cabinets prior of having the statue in hand I always let some extra room and also asked for shelves that can be placed up or down. When I made my Vader cabinet i had the guy come over, measure it and then design the entire cabinet after it. And this is how it turned out:
