Right, it isn't often I get annoyed, but I really am now! I asked for a few simple checks to be done on my replacement, issues that were all present on my first...
"1: No scratches on the dome, especially underneath where I can’t try to fix them.
2: Tendons at the side of the jaw attached and not missing from the box completely.
3: Dome fully sealed, no gaps around the edge where debris and dust can get in.
4: No paint spills on the skull, again where I can’t get to them to remove
5: No paint chips or scratches if possible please, my Big chap and Warrior lsb both had lots of blemishes, I’m hoping I was just unlucky."
Not much to ask then, I essentially just wanted one that wasn't broken, I got this reply... "It will be thoroughly inspected" & "We'll send you the best one we have"
So what has just arrived at my door? My shiny new Big Chap LSB #513/750, I've only looked at it for one minute so I'm sure there will be plenty more to find but here goes...
The base plate has actually fallen off
The dome isn't centered and is sat to the left (how!!??)
A tendon on the opposite side to last time is broken and not completely in the box!
There is a large chip on the front of the skull!
A tooth is broken off at the tip, one of the front fangs.
There's a badly filled in crack on the shoulder
The dome is absolutely full of crap again due to it not being sealed properly!....
Several paint chips and air holes in the casting.
Scuffs and scratches on the dome.
This was my dream piece of last year, it has become a nightmare. I can't even be bothered to take any pictures, I'll have to do it later though as I'm having an operation tomorrow and won't be able to do much for a few weeks.
So unhappy.
