Bad luck with the blood berets?
« on: November 28, 2007, 08:57:28 AM »
I just got six or so blisters of the newer Blood berets. To my surprise (and disappointment) they all had the same pose. This must be a packing mistake, right? Cause the picture seem to haev two different guys in it...

Post a pic or description of the pose you have in the Trading post section and see if anyone has spares of the other

Remember when you buy from PA your buying older Target inventory.

Yes, I'm not blaming PA.

I noticed now that all of the models have defects, it looks like the tin "boiled over" on the backpack-pin on the back, and under one shoulderpad. It was removable, but it took some time. Anyone else noticed this, or might PA have got some bad leftovers...?

Hmm - I ordered a handfull of figs a while back and they were okay.  But I'm not surprised.  Try Spirit Games - they're good people and they're figs have all been great.
