6, broken and not reported
14, fine

so we have 67.4% damage rate with a 53% report rate, (46% report rate if you count the ones who have not opened theirs). You'll probably have a few more stragglers roll in later, but can you please enlighten us with what Sideshow told you about breakages?

Beyond that, I would love to hear your thoughts on whether you personally believe these statues are of a 'quality' construction?

Finally, I was wondering what is going to happen to all of the pieces that are going to be returned? Do you have to refund Sideshow for all of those and then have to pay to have them shipped back to you? It seems like a lot of expense, and a lot of customer dissatisfaction that could be avoided by upping the discount that is Sideshow is offering. $35 is a joke for statues that are coming broken in several places, magnets falling out, and all of the future failures the construction of this piece almost guarantees. It scares me to think that a lot of these will be glued back together, and then miraculously end up on 'Second Chance'.

These are just questions. No agenda. Just generally interested in what happens when issues of this magnitude occur.
Since we are toying with statistics then one can do like this. If I assume that these are the only ones damaged then we have 29 damage pieaces of 700 about 4.1% and a whooping 95.9 % that are fine. Even if I dubbble the damaged ammount it would still not reach 10% and the pieces that were fine would be over 90%.

Therefore putting in % and adding it to this thread like you do cause noting more then fule to te fire. The statistics looks bad if you do it the way you do it and since you only know about 43 in total of all 700 pieces (ex +reg) your post means little.

Statistics can be changed, pointed, improved to get the result you want. This is such a small isolated communety were not even 10% are acounted for and therefore you can not give a clear % of how good/bad the damaged ratio is.

So in both PCS, Sideshow, GG or whatever, dont toss % around like this because it adds nothing , unless you have a bigger set numbers, in a case like this with 700 pieces, you need atleast 150-200 to get a correct estimated results.

Be real man, Look at the poll again and think a minute......Does it look like all 700 owners voted in this poll...no.

But for the amount of people that did vote, the breakage is high. The poll is probly a fair representation on a whole.
