I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

this was the only statue i wanted from the series but looking at the prototype the base is way too busy for me. Much preferred him with a simple base. So i will pass, in a way i am glad.

this is one of IA's problem, those guys dont think. You already got a gigantic statue, why add on this giant base that's going to take up another box/weight, all for what?

After their 1/4 hulkbuster i am so scared of ordering anything from those guys, the packaging was so bad for something that big, just headaches all around. And it absolutely does not need 5 different giant arms taking up another whole box (with 2 pairs that look very similar and 1 arm you will never display).

IA, if you are reading it's not just about designing a bad ass statue, you gotta think how to package the damn thing so stuff dont break, and get it to customers in good shape and at a reasonable shipping cost...Having a 80lb giant box just to ship some arms is just retarded (and having all the fingers ended up breaking because of piss poor packaging). Also using cheap foam corners trying to suspend a 80-90 lb box in a low quality shipper is even more retarded. Paid $350 (with employee discount even) to have 2x 80-90lbs boxes for 1 hulkbuster shipped state side, only to have breakages everywhere because of the terrible packaging...never again.

Oh dear.

Talk about poor timing.

They announced they changed the base a couple days ago. Much less busy and no city building in the way either.

Also, as far as packaging is concerned. I can't speak for how they handled it prior but from Soundwave onward, the packaging and quality has been great.

Sorry about your problems with Hulkbuster. I found the packaging on Optimus to be ok...but I did not like the foam they put between the legs. It seemed to be creating pressure that I felt could break the legs even though it was there to stabilize, I found it a little difficult to get that foam out. At any rate it did come out and mine was unbroken unlike the ones in the YouTube videos I saw. No paint issues either..just bad ass!
