COol that that worked out so well. Saves you from the pain in the butt of mailing it back and waiting on a refund.

Like everyone else, I hate when something arrives broken. Especially when it wasn't broken during shipping.
This past Christmas I treated myself to a very expensive lot of "Extremely nice condition - would be hard to upgrade! 100% VINTAGE * 100% AUTHENTIC * 100% ALL ORIGINAL * NO REPRODUCTIONS * NO KNOCK OFFS!" Mego Planet of the Apes figures. I thought that the price was good but it turns out I may have overpaid a bit. No biggie. Anyway when the package arrived in late January I discovered Zira was missing her left hand, Ursus had one leg broken at the knee joint and had a repro rifle, and Soldier Ape was as loose as a marionette. First I checked the auction listing again to make sure that I didn't overlook anything in the item description. Turns out I did. The included picture clearly showed that Zira was indeed missing her left hand. But Ursus and Soldier Ape looked perfect. Then I contacted the seller to let her know. She was quick to reply stating that they were probably damaged in shipping but said to send the questionable ones back to be replaced. Yes, during shipping the original vintage rifle turned into a repro!
I got the next package about 2 weeks later. It contained a different Zira and Ursus both in perfect condition, an original rifle but the same exact Soldier Ape. I e-mailed the seller but never heard back.ScottComment

In the Southeast Pacific, lies the sunken city of R'Leyh. There lies C'thulhu waits to return to our world with the other Great Old Ones. A hideous creature of enormous size and alien power, it waits for it's time to return patiently. For it has all the time in the world while it waits for the stars.

I hate it when stuff arrives broken and I check the auction description and sure enough it is stated plain as day - has broken knee pin etc.

I hate it when a figure arrives with two left arms.
It makes it difficult for him to dance
My Spider-Man has to left arms, how can he possiibly
wall crawl or web swing now ?
Someone even chewed off abit of his little finger
to make it look more like a thumb.Last edited by monkey tennis; Apr 13, '08, 4:27 PM."I've just bought a house. It's got a Buck Rogers Toilet. One yank, all gone!"Comment
