I heard that Prime 1 doesn't sent replacement anymore. They don't have parts. They only fix it or do refunds.

I'm familiar enough with Prime 1's brand of "fixing" things. Like the god-awful splotchy paint they applied to the flaked parts of the 1/4 JH and CH statues.

For repairs, you want one-on-one attention from someone who has the time and focus. I don't think you'll get that from a manufacturer, least of all Prime 1.

Indeed don't return FS because you won't get better one. You are right, demand good replacement head only. Goodluck with this!


Prime customer 'service' did not want to help neither when i had unforeseen problem with my retailer. They are strict and only want to (try) help if you bought directly.
Agree, I'd be stupid AF if I opted for a full replacement, wait 6 months plus and get another random breakage or QC issue lol

The retailer did say prime 1 would 'inspect' it and decide which option (fix or replacement) is better (obviously they would pick the cheaper option and slap a quick fix).

I did give prime 1 the benefit of doubt but man, the poor attempt really begs belief. Prior to sending it back it was a clean break with a tad little resin gone. Super glued it and it held up very well. I thought prime would just add some mould and repaint, reseal. Seems like they broke it off and made it worse by inserting a flimsy little pin.

My Predator still hasn't shipped and I've paid the rest of the money a week ago... So frustrating.

At least now I know if something happen to mine I will accept some refund and fix it by myself.

Fingers crossed yours turns out fine. I wasn't offered partial refund, only return in full and full refund.

My retailer may order a new statue and I can get the replacement head from that one. Though I've asked that I would need to inspect it first and if satisfied, do the swap. Waiting to hear back if a ok from them, last thing I want is to return this head and get one in even worse condition. Also saves me a trip, I've wasted enough time going back and forth to them.
