^ Are you serious? Is that exactly how they were stacked? That is freaking retarded right there. :angry:

As far as the eBay-ing of the bugs goes, Andrew has Shrapnel up right now. I'll throw up a Kickback next.

 

well, scrapper was in the open space on the side, so it got crushed sideways and opened. the devastator piece is what the insecticons sat on top of.

you know what sucks? if i leave her neutral or negative, since she's apparently a spiteful bitch, i'm going to get the same.

i want to contact her to complain, but i'm not sure what to say.

edit > andrew, you reading this? i'd like to know what you did to seal these back up.

 

Me too Monk. Mine was wrapped and packaged nicely. This is just horrible.

Reno...Andrew says he'll document how he re-sealed the constructicon and post in about 10 min. Can you take a clearer picture of just the constructicon? Did the bubble come off clean, or did it take some of the cardboard with it?

I know it's not a happy time on the thread, but I just picked up this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

$55.85 shipped.

With all the bad luck lately, I added shipping insurance. I'm not taking any chances until this bad mojo passes.

 

I'll do a write up right now. Gimme 20 minutes.


I'm looking at yours and mine was a complete seperation of the card and bubble. I was looking for guns and pieces inside the shipping box.





guys, although it may suck right now ... take a breather, remember, those insecticons are worth $200 each. We've all made money, it's just a matter of going though the steps to cash in.

I've been where you're at several times in the past and even right now. It'll get better as the hours pass and it makes selling even easier.

 

thanks, guys. only half of mine seperated. i'll take a better pic.



the q-tips are there to hold the gap open..

 

I think you would be able to have retaliatory feedback removed. I filed a complaint about the opened bug so I'll keep you posted on the response to that.

 

I'll show you how to fix that. Taking pictures now.




Mine was a complete sepeartion and after the work, it looks MOSC again. Brb.

 

you know what's funny? i received another package today. a small aluminum spacer. this thing was taped down to a piece of cardboard, wrapped in newspaper, and packaged in an envelope. it could have come completely loose in a regular old envelope, and it would have been fine, but this guy actually gave a crap.

ugh.

 

step 1: Find spray glue and a glossy surface.

It's important to find something that doesn't bond on contact.

step 2: Spray glue in puddles.

completely saturate one spot to form a puddle. Be sure to shield off anything around you during the spray session. Particles get in the air.

step 3: (will be different for you) Apply the glue.
Like I said before, my seperations were clean breaks. I took the severed portion and dipped it into the glue puddle. Qucikly, I mounted the plastic bubble to the container directly over it's original spot.

Because the glue didn't quick set, I was able to adjust the bubble as needed.




this is an original bubble, sealed from the factory


this is my work




with your application, you need to think of a way to spread the glue to your plastic bubble. Qtips are a bad idea because of the cotton fibers. Foam brushes will stick.

I'm thinking maybe a pencil or something wooden.

 

A bristle from a paint brush or a Broom might work....
