I am on the dont stick things to the base camp! Apart from forcing us to display the beads (I probably wouldn't) it is aking for trouble and replacement base requests due to beads that popped off during shipping.
The magnet idea is the ultimate which will also allow collectors to choose whether to display them or not. Of course this will add to the overall cost of the statue I imagine
What about ship them seperate in a little bag and include a small tube of glue? Allow collectors to stick them on or not to as they wish. It's at the collectors own discreption and risk to do so. Different bases will then also be customized with the beads slightly differently or not at all making them unique
I imagine Oro's turtle wont be glued to the base either....at least I hope it is not.
