Yeah, it went from 1st Q to 2nd Q now on to 3rd Q... who knows if we will ever see it.

Although I did not order the EX, I'm just posting here since I wasn't able to find a reg post.

This turned out pretty well, but the peg holes for the black wolf are drilled too far apart. I've asked BBTS for a replacement.Hopefully, only the one I received is this way and it isn't a widespread issue. The last few statues I've received have all been damaged or defective in some way (this one has been the only GG) so I may just be jinxed at the moment.

Improperly drilled base

It's not an issue with the base, but how the factory put the wolf together. Either the legs were slightly warped during casting or it was assembled with the legs out of position or both. The factory should have used a jig to position the legs with assembling the wolf. Unfortunate factory issue for such a nice statue.

When these sort of problems occur, do they tend to be widespread or more of a fluke? Just wondering if I'll be able to get a suitable replacement or if I should expect to give up on this one.

It's hard to say since all of these collectibles are "handmade" so it could be just one item or could be across the run depending on cause of the issue.
