Just a heads up for those who are interested, it looks like I'll get a replacement sent out to me at some stage.

I purchase the "Falling" poster for my nephew for his birthday coming up as he is a massive Bioshock fan along with Assassin's Creed anyway back to the story.

I was really dissapointed to recieve the poster in the condition that was delivered to my address. Flat pack for a poster is like a no no for me and I'm not too sure why Irrational Games didn't use cylinder tubes for shipping!!!

Why am I complaining? Well using a flat pack for a poster with edging support doesn't do justice to the poster being sent in the mail, especially when delivering it to Australia and I'm sure there will be a bit of wear and tear in the process due to the handling of the postal workers in the countries of USA and Australia.

Now it's probably not the postal workers fault for doing their job, but surely Irrational Games need to understand by delivering a poster, especially one that is signed and cost $140 for it to be delivered to myself to give to my nephew for his birthday could do with a cylinder tube for deliverly considering how much I paid for the thing to protect what it's for.

Now I've e-mail their support last week (Tuesday and got a ticket number) and yet to hear anything on the subject, pretty piss poor in my opinon and at the time of this type up I'll probably never purchase another thing from them until this gets sorted. Not holding my breath as it's probably $140 down the drain for me for something I was going to give my nephew for his birthday.

I've posted some pics of the condition and was wondering what you guys think? Am I over reacting?

Just to check with everyone else, their songbird plushie didn't come in an official box with art work, right? Just the plushie?

Also, I wrote a thread about something stupid I did with 2k store:

Basically made a big error (since amended)

I've sent a support ticket to 2k to explain, but would be very grateful if you could give me any more info, OneLetter

For the songbird, it comes in a plastic bag, and I believe there should be two hangtags attached to it as well. There is no specialty box, and just to cover my bases, we did not advertise it as such on the store, compared to something like the Sky-Hook, where we did state it would be in custom packaging.

For your store issue, I'll go take a look at it now, then I'll PM you if I need more info.

Woohoo got my Songbird yesterday!
Honestly, it's a little smaller than I was thinking. Not really durable enough for your kiddos to play with. A little overpriced at $50, but I don't think you'll see them cheaper anywhere else.

Here are some pictures straight from my comfy chair:

He does indeed come in a plain old plastic bag.



The wings wont stay unfurled without some help. Maybe some stiff wire?









The Logo tag is very flimsy paper.






If you long for better packaging, do this:

They definitely need to go to packing school. These bozos sent my Mind in Revolt in a standard and I mean standard jiffy bag. That's what I'd expect from a bad ebay seller not a purveyor of fine collectables.

Was it damaged at all in the shipping process? If it was, please PM me and let me know.

I will get back to you (PM) but to say that compared to others it would be considered microscopic but when you pay $100.00 + $30.00 shipping for 'Mind In Revolt' then microscopic becomes magnified. Then again when does it become pedantic. That's the dilemma.

Even if it would have arrived safely, than it would just be luck. Collectibles, especially from a store that only sells those should have competent packaging.
