But they do have a decent selection most of the time).

Not likely a shipping problem FVD..........the outer shipping box was dry & pristine, as was the loose newpaper packing within. The corrugated cardboard of the FOV box however was separating/shrunk as was the inner cardboard of the tray the model sits on.The leaflet within the model's box had been wet enough to stick its pages together. I did send the vendor a complaint email & a few photos of the problem.....no reply as yet. I'll post a photo here when I get home.

Shipping Box & packing like brand new, whereas the model box was received thus..............

The box indicates that the matter stream was corrupted as it left the buffer and the warping occurred when it was rematerialised in Oz ...

True, but the matter stream is controlled by three primary main processing cores cross linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat and fourteen kiloquad interface modules. The core elements are based on FTL nanoprocessor units arranged into twenty-five bilateral kelilactirals with twenty of those units being slaved to the central heisenfram terminal. . . . Now this is the isopalavial interface which controls the main firomactal drive unit. . . . The ramistat kiloquad capacity is a function of the square root of the intermix ratiotimes the sum of the plasma injector quotient..which one possibility...............

....OR


It was wet when they put it in the shipping box

Are you saying that an infusion of H2O, resulting from Global Warming due to non-ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by Bush and Bonsai, caused a breakdown of the molecular disposition of the cellulose material wherein the 'waltzing' Matilda of your affection was contained?

Yep, you're right. Obviously it was exposed to the "elements" in their warehouse or something like that.

This is really weak on their part, I don't blame you for being a little torqued.

This vendor & myself will part company on a positive note
