Oh they sell returns ALL the time, so many shitheads swap figures and return them, then some poor schmuck gets stuck with a broken WWE figure instead of a Dr. Doom, for example

It used to be that she was using her telepathy to hide the tattoos, but I have a feeling it just depends on the creative team in charge of which ever book she's in

I have no attachment to the character, but the pics are making me think I may have to pick up Phage after all. He looks cool.

I’m sure they will. Sell it at a discount from their scamazon warehouse.

They could give us an alternate untatted head.

Thanks to Starlord67 for hooking me up! I still haven’t seen a Moon Knight in the wild out this way, shelves clogged with Ironman 2020’s though.

Either way she needs to have the flattop/rattail combo.

Thankfully the figures all seem fine, although the sides of the box are pretty banged up. Not sure if I should bitch about or not. I probably will.

Bezos can afford to fix that for you. Don’t feel bad about expecting the correct amount of respect your purchase deserves, especially if you’re a Prime customer.

You're welcome my friend!
I think you may see Moon Knight now that they are doing their Christmas reset. I've seen 4.

Nah man, you paid $80 with the expectation it would be shipped immaculate and with common sense. You deserve to force them to give you at least a quarter of it back.

Muchas gracias. I always try to give some "life" to my pics. Those "figs fighting in front of a PC screen" pics don't do much for me.

You actually consented to this when you checked out! It's super sneaky, but for pretty much all of their exclusives these days, they have "asked their partners to design packaging that can be shipped as-is" and you have to specially request that they ship it inside a box if you want them to ship it properly. See attached.

Sonofa...you're right! What fucking bullshit! But at least I know for future reference. Thanks!

That's bullshit and unacceptable. I still say Amazon owes him a partial refund. No one should have to pay extra to get it shipped like a normal package.

MeLikeJinx · 09-21-2020, 10:16 PM

I don't like that Psylocke boxart... doesn't really look like Psylocke IMO.

Archangel · 09-22-2020, 03:37 AM

Street date on the Target Storm 2-Pack looks like Oct 4th.

It doesn't cost extra. You just have to opt in.

Normally I'd just say that some people will always find something to bitch about, but there's a valid point in this one. I did not opt in and my pack still got shipped in a white cover. It wasn't much but it did conceal the product. One would think there should be some kind of uniformity in how these were being shipped.

Yeah, I get that, but it's absolutely ridiculous that the option to ship with no packaging whatsoever is the DEFAULT and that you have to opt-in to actually get it shipped in a box. That's fucking ridiculous.

I'm actually considering keeping some of the Fantomex accessories that came in the box that I'm returning as compensation. Amazon gave me a $10 credit for my inconvenience but I don't feel that's enough. I mean, the box arrived beat to shit. Would that be dickish of me?

They did the same thing to me. I was shocked.
