Last CE/LE/SE you purchased or got

[Thetof91]

So you finally got it..

Sad to see the box came damage..

Was it just shipped like that? It was not in a other box?
And is the statue okay?

The statue is OK
It was shipped in a snug/tight fitting standard single layer corrugated cardboard box (the box that came from the statue maker as it bares all the details about the statue size, weight, name and number (yep the outer brown shipping box says assassins creed brotherhood figure, 1316/2000

Well, that's cool that you got it at least!

Bummer that it came beat up like that though... hate it when they do that, especially on a limited box like that

Sucks that boxes were dented... but on the bright side it was free right?

I am someone who does not keep statues in boxes... I feel if i like it enough to buy it I want to display it (I suppose in some cases statues have boxes that have good windows but that seems rare to have decent viewing windows)... so the box really has no value to me. Like my Kindoms of Amalur statue boxes, they both have the number on them and both are damaged a little but they sit in my closet anyways. But I know some collectors love their box as much as their $300 statue, to each their own.


Do you like the statue itself? Were you looking forward to the box or is it just the point of it should not have arrived damaged?

Yes it was free
I was looking forward to opening it
I'm not blown away by the statue
Their appear to be some casting flaws that should have been removed, and the paint detail is good but I expected 280gbp worth of detail, bit it does no look like that is the case

Now I need to decide what I am going to do with it

I really like the box, its a lot better then I thought it would be

Nice
Glad you changed your point of view since the day you won it, but it's too bad it let you down.
That sucks, but again it was free so even if you are not blown away you can sell it and get something that would blow you away.
You should take some detailed pics of the statue and the bad spot to show other members, it is always good to have them see the issue they may run into.

As previously mentioned you should sell it since you are not blown away by it and are upset with the quality/issues.

Glad you like the box, maybe keep that and sell the expensive limited edition part only (the statue).

Is there anything in particular that you have been wanting to get but money is an issue? This would be a great way to make that happen
