[flatout]

Sorry to hear that Knight!

The thing is the companies ship things all the same. As in they do not recognize collectables. With most items they can just send you another if there is an issue but with something that is rare and possibly sold out this is not an option and should be treated differently... they just do not.

It would be nice if they had a category for limited edition things, where it may cost a few more dollars to ship it but the category makes then warehouse take special precautions when packaging. Of coarse this will never happen with the big retailers like Amazon... they just sell way too much stuff and too many different kinds of stuff.
