=\

can he provide the tape he used also?

UPS definitely put something heavy on top of it, the plastic window is bent in and if it werent for swoop's head (the pointy thing on top of it), the whole thing would be crushed.

I can ask. I'm almost sure it's 3M's clear scotch tape.

One of the sides of my redfoot wasn't taped. I checked the other side and it matched.






gah. sorry about all of this man.

its okie, replacement box would be cool. if not, i think i can pass off the crushed box as damage done to it due to it being from 1984. :uhhok:

now I'm going paranoid about the other packages. :hs:


the primes survived because I think the cardboard was double thick. These were just standard boxes, wrapped like BBTS would. (1 layer of bubble wrap or foam peanuts, no wiggle room, maybe 1.5 inches of buffer space on the inside)

I went to Wal-Mart. They had one USDM 20th Anniversary Prime left. It was in the worst box ever. I picked it up for $20. It's going on my desk at work. :hs:

I got my registration faxed in within an hour of the forms going up, so hopefully I'll be in good shape for two sets of figs, the Hasbro tour, and the movie screening.

This'll be my first (and probably only) one. We just happen to be vacationing in New Jersey for a couple of weeks, and it's just a few hours over to Providence so I figured what the heck.
