1378 of 2000 has arrived and yeah, I like her.




However, it was a bear to get it into the base properly. I watched the OotB video and followed the instructions, but the feet would not just go in easily. It almost felt like I was going to break the statue in half. In fact, as I was trying to get it in, the peg on the left leg broke.



I already have an email to support about it. I don’t expect much as this is what, a 4 year old statue? But damn, that’s annoying.

Guessing this is why the waitlist got to me?

Yeah. Everything else was perfect. And it could probably be superglued in place, but I shouldn?t have to have to deal with that. If they offer a pro-rated refund or something, I?d probably take that.

I'm all for gluing small breaks, but I'm not sure how I feel about that when it's a support peg.

Affirmative. I was actually kind of shocked a metal peg like that broke. Looked pretty clean, too.

And SDGuy, I would be too (worried about it being a support peg that broke), but there is the other peg on the right leg that is just fine and the left foot (specifically the toe region) basically goes in the big hole and is supported by the upper part of the foot. Otherwise, yeah, I'd be more for outright replacement.

Welp, they got back to me. They sent me an RMA, and will be sending out a replacement.
