Maybe a scratch in the past months can explain.

So--to your recollection--did anything hit the door prior to this implosion? I'm quite perplexed indeed. I'm glad the statues are safe, though.

You might be able to track down a local glass cutting shop and ask how much a new door would cost. They might surprise you--depends on how fair they are.

To be on the safe side I would just break the other ones.
As for why the glass broke stress fractures brought on by environmental changes.(vibrations,temperature fluctuations,weight-bearing)
Or do like the Republicans just blame Obama.

Thanks! I think so, too. If my Doom or X-Men vs. Sentinel I statue ended up broken on the ground, I may have jumped out a window.

Yep. I have no explanation.

Nope, nothing has touched this Detolf in well more than a year. Of my eight Detolfs, this is the one whose door I've opened the least.

That's what I'll have to do. I don't like having a Detolf with no door. The dust will build up far too much.

I believe I'll just wait for the other Detolfs to break themselves, thank you.

And now that you mention it, I did see a story on Fox News the other day saying that in-home accidents are brought on by their owners voting against Republicans. Tornadoes and hurricanes are also Democratic-influenced.

Man. Seriously. I saw Jason and that creeped me out! Jason gets my vote. He's the only one out of the Detolf! Scoop his ass up with a shovel and burn him!!!! Then find a priest and do an excorcism!

odd, I would think the only thing other then hitting it would be that it is too tight.

Can't let my wife see this thread. She covers my Darth Maul statue because "he looks like the devil!"

Can't believe you grabbed your camera before you moved Doom lol

Y'know what I was thinking....the adhesive metal strip that you're supposed to put against the glass---the one that you need to put screws into....did you by any chance screw those in too deep and injure the glass? I'm wondering if THAT could have caused a weakness.
