now seeing this damage. it gives me worries

To be honest Lex I don't think there is a lot else anyone can do without going completely insane with packaging. This is just how Ezio's fury is packaged and it sounds like Romeo's were dropped BEFORE they went in the shipping box... maybe in the Amazon warehouse???

I think a lot of FRAGILE tape is called for....

That's the issue here.... I don't know who is to blame. McFarlane ships the statue to Amazon in a fitted box. There is no room for error there. Amazon then puts the shipping box from McFarlane, with labels and all, in their own branded box with padding all around inside.

The first two I received had smashed corners on the McFarlane shipping box, right after opening the Amazon shipping box. So either it was damaged from McFarlane to Amazon, or someone in the Amazon warehouse is damaging these.

My inner box (the colorful one) had a smashed corner, not as bad as yours but as I got it directly from Mcfarlane I think it's their fault

The thing is, you guys can easily resolve it, like what romeo is doing, demand for replacement.
for me it wont be easy to do that..

Me neither to be honest Lex

Not as far as the Philippines for sure but shipping to the UK is a massive 120$ for me so any kind of issue after that is going to unthinkable...

Poor mag.. I was shocked too after I checked the price for you. And sending to France is cheaper lol..

Im not allowed to purchase extra insurance for Normal Priority if i wanna send to UK.. that's what the guy told me, each country is different. So in the end Priority Express is the way to go, if wanna add insurance. I can't imagine the UK tax.. thank God US is not that strict on import duty! What happened to Europe??

amazon is never careful with their stuff. i have a friend who worked there and he told me horror stories about how people throw shit around everywhere.
