    A shipment that takes a few days in Europe takes a few weeks to reach someone in the United States. By the time you get your model and get the replacement part it's been a month or two. This is why I only by mine at Games Day.

    I have had my fair share of bad pieces but so far they have allways been friendly and mailed me a free replecement ASAP (as in I got my stuff within 2-4 days; for comparison I'm living in mainland europe).

    Yes, I had to call 3 times once for them to send the RIGHT titan piece but in the end I got it (and have half a titan from wrong parts they sent... all it cost me was a phone call!)
    Same here, I ordered the space wolf termie upgrade pack and when it arrived it was missing a shoulder pad. within a couple days I had a whole replacement sprue with 5 new pads. Bonus.

    Again, I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get a Finecast model.
    Fantastic, I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

    Yeah, but this one they are really trying to enforce. There's always been the ::nudge, nudge, wink wink:: with the regular saturday releases... I even had my rep back a few years ago tell me that if I had any hardcore regulars, they could get their stuff the day before...

    But for this one, there are stiff penalties for anything being released early.
