AHHHH,I would think with the size of your collection that you would be well versed in the poly prayers.Fear not, for there is always time for forgiveness.Just confess your poly sins and ye shall all be healed. :laugh: If that don't work you could call Rick. :laugh:

He looks like he's crying in agony. But seems like a clean cut Zurb, as much as we all love intact pieces, you shouldn't have trouble fooling anyone else who doesn't know. I feel your pain!!!

Oh, it's a very clean break and it will be fixed better than new, of that I am sure. Won't be needing to fool anyone. That baby is going nowhere once he gets back from his repair. UPS is going to be sending over an inspector to take a look at him as he was completely insured but I'm not giving him up.

Sweet deal. Great that you got it insured as well. For some reason I didn't expect him to be hollow there.

they will give you a repair cost if you want, tell them it is going to cost 300 to repair back to factory specifications.

Exactly and it's why I am not giving him up. I'll see what kind of deal I can make with UPS. I bought this from a fellow I have been dealing with for a while now. He decided to sell some of his personal pieces and I just happened to be there at the right time and made one big deal with him for the CT,Wiki,MOA and MOS. He was extra careful with the CT having sold these in the past and knowing the trouble they have with breakage. I mean he packed this like you would not believe. The box it comes in is huge to begin with. He found an even larger box (the one they shipped the Rubies life sized Gollums in) and put enough peanuts in it to feed a third world country. He also had another seven or eight smaller boxes in there all around the Sideshow box to provide even more cushioning and protection. When I opened the box and saw all that I felt pretty good. But it was for naught. UPS must have played football with the damn box. But of course that arm is a definite stress point with these Cave Trolls.
