Raikirik-Quick update for you:
Finally received a shipping notice from SS with (supposedly) a replacement torso which should arrive Monday (Feb 11). If they did in fact send a working, decently painted replacement torso, I PROMISE that I will try to find a way to open my old one and provide instructions for doing that without damaging the figure so you can fix your 47. I’m sure that my defective one will get fubared in the process but I am sure once I have it apart, I should be able to find the least “invasive” method for taking it apart. Stay tuned!
I was the same with my first IM. It just shows how good the weathering and battle damage is. But you'll know when you get a paint chip because the undercoating is white. Chipped paint on diecast is dark grey/metal coloured.
Just wanted to add my recommendation of this video - one of Andre's best and an example of how to do a figure review (not mentioning any names!).
Not only is there obvious preparation, rather than just making it up as you go along, but xenom0rph even takes the time to source the original concept art by Ryan Meinerding and compare it to the figure, which I haven't seen anyone else do. Top work and well worth a watch, even if you've seen enough on the figure.

Idk if i should get this or wait for mark 50, help
Personally I think the 50 looks like a weird insect
I also expect a crazy cool suit in Endgame.

I like the Mk 50 a lot. But it really depends.
If you’re a fan of the 46’s design, then this is your chance to get it.
If you just want one Iron Man figure in your collection, I’d rather have an actual movie suit. So the VII Diecast, IV Diecast, 50, or one of the Endgame suits.
If you like this color scheme with more gold, the Endgame suit is pretty similar from what has been leaked so far.

Im really starting to get frustrated with SS. Ive been waiting since the 23rd of last month to get a replacement for my Iron Man. All I need is the Return authorization and Ive been waiting for two weeks now to just get that print out. By the looks of things I wont be getting it till March.

I hear ya. Still trying to get an order from late November resolved.

If you haven't got the 46 or 47 you HAVE to get this in my opinion.
Though not my favourite suit, the 46/47/SE is probably the best engineered figure to date, with the possible exception of the Mark4/6. It's very solid, the heaviest of the regular sized figures and the best proportioned (It has the biggest helmet and hands of all the armours and it's possible to believe someone is actually inside, unlike say the 4/6 or 45 that have pin heads). It also has the best light up feature of all the IM figures if you're in to that. Even just putting in the 3 chest batteries will give you 13 lights!
That said, I think the 46 or 47 is a better purchase if you can find one, since it comes with more (the headsculpt is the best RDJ by a country mile) and a proper base - The tiny crotch grabber stands that HT has been supplying since the DC Mark 5 are a joke.
Regarding the Mark 50. I hated it at first but it's grown on me and I'm definitely getting it. It's still a fairly weak design in my opinion (the actual suit, not the Hot Toys version) Because the nano aspect means the armour is just smoother and less interesting to look at. There are two factors that might make it a better choice than the SE for you though: It was in a movie and the SE wasn't. It also comes with a decent pile of extras (including an RDJ headsculpt) plus the option to add even more with the accessory pack.
If I was in your position I would try to get a 46 or 47 first. I bought my 46 in a shop in October last year so they are still out there (I doubt I got the last one in the world), but I looked for a month and couldn't find the 47.
If you can't get either of those I would get the Special Edition. It's out and it's a good figure and you can enjoy it today. By the time the 50 launches the SE could be sold out (although I don't think it will be) and you might not like the 50.
Life is short, never postpone enjoyment.
This guy really pops I love the gold arms and legs gives that classic IM look. Here’s a quick pic.
