My Kong bookends finally arrived today, however the rex'x right arm has been broken and rather clumsily glued together.

it must have happened at the manufacturing side as the packaging both inside and outside was still sealed.

sigh.

Hmm thats no cool so you're gonna try and get it replaced? might prove troublesome, where'd you get it?

Every time I got something that had already been fixed, sellers denied doing or noticing that or worse. Ofcourse these were mostly private sellers trying to rip me off.

I still have to check my bookends got them already over a week, Ill be sure to check 'em tonite.

You know I have terrible luck with having bookends shipped. Must be the weight.

JLA bookends destroyed... evry character but two broken off from the base and the base itself broken into 2 pieces.

JSA bookends broken arms and Hawk Man's helmet wings.

Superman/ Batman bookends arrived with one of Man-Bat's legs broken.

Might not have been FB that did it could have been Dark Horse. Although that doesnt seem really likely. :banghead: I hate it when stuff comes in broken.

This is actually quite common on the polystone pieces, many of them have factory repairs, they are just not always that noticeable.

Ok so you can get this remedied by them, besides the hassle, should work out.

Just checked mine luckily no such problems, cool piece.
