Calling all owners of the Dark rider of Mordor premium format owners.

1)Do you have your DROM on display, any stress fractures?

2)EX or Reg?

3)2 metal pegs or 1?

huge thread about this in the other forum years ago (maybe here too). There did not seem to be any rhyme or reason regarding the cracks...happened to those with 1 and 2 pegs, regular and exclusive, from what I recall.

Thanks ambasah, I have mine stored in a box and waiting for my display cabinets to go up and am hoping for some stats or advice to see if we are still seeing this issue.

the good news is that it was not as common a problem as initially feared. I don't recall anyone having a recent issue on any of the sites or forums. best of luck!

It's funny that you should start this thread today. I just opened mine after it being put away for almost a year. I had it displayed for about 6 months prior to moving and it does lean a little bit. I can see some space between the horses right leg and the base but it never increased. I am going to keep an eye on it and see if it gets worse.
