Statue can't be removed from the base!

In the end, we couldn't remove the legs from the base, so the buyer just had his girlfriend rest it on her lap for the journey home. It's a 5 hour drive...Hope she's not too uncomfortable.

Well, I mean, if it were a John-Rhys Davies statue, I could imagine it being rather annoying, but I'm sure most women wouldn't mind having Viggo on her lap for that long.

Glad you managed to work it out in the end. Sorta.

that's crazy. Did you have to refund some of the money for the deal? For similar type reasons, I always put the statue in the styrofoam and inspect it again prior to anyone driving over to pick up a statue. Lesson learned on both sides I suppose.

Unfortunately, I couldn't offer a discount as it was already a very good deal; low enough that I regretted agreeing to it at all, to be honest. Checking that everything could be taken apart before striking would have definitely been the most sensible thing, it just didn't occur to me that these could become stuck over time. You live and learn. I honestly believe I would have torn his leg off to get them to separate!
