Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

So jealous and glad for everyone that is getting their replacement!

Heck I joined the collecting game too late and missed out on Psylocke so at this point I'd be happy getting a regular statue for close to retail lol.

The face on this EX is sooooo niceeeee tho. Would love to get this someday.

Lol, it had to come to Europe via military mail service for the last leg. That’s the second worse box I’ve ever received, the worst was Vampirella and that piece was destroyed/broken.

Ironically my mint looking box I got the first time only had to go from CA to WA via UPS and didn’t survive unbroken! I guess that’s why they do those tests! The paint up is better and the base is loads better, the first one besides breaks had a lot wrong with it.

I seem to always have trouble with our post here. Maybe it's just my country but they come exactly like the box you posted way too often... So frustrating, though admittedly I usually only remember the bad and not all the good deliveries they've given me.

Either way, very glad it arrived in one piece. My heart would have went in my throat after seeing that.... She looks fantastic, I didn't collect statues when this one was available or id have definitely grabbed her. I will have to wait for XM or someone else to do one, given the price of this piece in the secondary market.

Maybe it has those inserts?

Attachment 131524

Oh crap!

So I open it and what do I see?

Attachment 131525

LOL!

The GD styrofoam is even bent. No possible way this survived! I open the back flap...

Attachment 131526

Score, psyblade! That’s what, 6 on this forum? Don’t get hopes up, don’t get hopes up. Open up box...

Attachment 131527

Look intact...the portrait is actually loose in the box! Amazingly, nothing is broken or damaged! Thankfully I have the other art box/shipper still because this one has had it. Frankly I don’t know how it made it at all. My heart absolutely sank when they handed it to me. I didn’t have any styrofoam around the base this time but there was a piece on top. How this survived without breaks but the other one didn’t is beyond me.
