well unfortunately i think youre almost guaranteed to get a broken scope cover... i thought mine was fine but after i set mine up with the uzis and moved the box and found out there was actually 2 covers i double checked mine. front one was broken off sitting in the wrapper, i dont know if it was broken when i first inspected it (i was only looking for the rear) or if it broke after i put it back in the box and put the top styrofoam back on
LUCKILY that is not a big deal, easy fix - the broken arm on the previous page is obviously an issue though
I couldn't believe the wrist shattered like it did. I've put a ton of statues together, and I've never had one break like that. It makes me wonder if there was already a hairline fracture or something because I didn't even get the hand in a quarter of an inch before I heard it crack.
Really frustrating because the statue is fantastic, and I hope I can get a replacement. I'd hate to not have this in my collection.
Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

The second is that bits of the left wrist broke off when I tried to put one of the left hands on. Even after it broke, only one of the three left hands fit flush into the wrist. It looks like the other hands aren't keyed correctly and are too thick for the slot. I put in a request for a replacement from Sideshow so we'll see what happens.
Oh man that sucks... Hope you can get a replacement.
That break sucks. I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger on this but all breaks have me concerned a little . It’s a lot of money I don’t want breaks on a new piece. It’s still awesome
Well, first of all I want to say that I am beyond happy that I pulled the trigger on this piece! Pictures truly don't capture the level of detail in it.
The only damage it came with was the backside flap on the rifle scope was broken off. The front side is on there fine and all of the pouches, etc are perfect! I'm going to call that a win for sure. I honestly am not bothered by the cap that broke as it doesnt even display on the front side of the piece. I'll definitely see what sideshow is willing to do for it though, but all in all I'm pleased!!
Sorry for the bad pictures.. I took them with my phone and insufficient lighting and im not sure why they are coming out sideways lol
