A little update on my "
Miscasts FW Saga." Although the guy assured me that the Warhound Titan's carapace had "been sorted" I received almost the exact problem. I'm not even gonna bitch about it to them now. I took someone's lead from here (Vaaish I believe) and just tried carving and reshaping the detail with my exacto knife. It came out ok I suppose, but I'm disappointed that they said they had fixed the problem and didn't.
After hearing the news that fellow forum member
Axel Fendersson had received his Eldar Falcons that were back ordered for so long I called them up after a week or so to ask about my own. At first they told me that they still hadn't received any Falcons yet and they were on back order. After I explained to them that someone I knew who had also been waiting on his to arrive had received his order they put me on hold then recanted their story explaining that they had received a limited number of them only and I would hopefully receive mine within a couple of weeks (what I was told a month ago).
The Firestorms that I complained about so much were credited to my account (as I said earlier) but only after over a week went by and still no activity on my card's account. Again I had to call the U.K. and remind them to do it.
When I called this last time to find out the status of the Falcons (and the rest of my order) the Firestorms were taken off my order. Despite an email saying they would refund the cost and ship out new Firestorms and assuring their quality this time the customer service guy had no idea. Again I was put on hold until he worked things out.
My last bit is a Vampire Raider that, it seems, all it took was for me to call them once again and ask to be shipped. I don't know if they were waiting to ship it with the other back order items or what, but at this point I was a little irritated. They had the Raider there, they just felt like hanging onto it a little while longer I suppose. Anyway that shipped out and I should be receiving that on monday.
I don't want to even think about my phone bill for all of this. One thing is certain though, I will never
EVER buy Epic FW miniatures again.
On a different note I received a shockingly well cast lot of Eldar SG miniatures from GW recently. After having dealt with their Marine stuff to this point the Eldar stuff could almost pass for a proper Citadel miniature.
I do have a question though for anyone who has bought Shining Spears. Is it normal for all of the sprues except one to be Exarchs? I got that in one blister pack, called and complained
(yes I know I can just clean their head easily, but the pack is two stands short of a full squad and I'm pissed at GW now) had replacements sent out, then got the
exact same contents as before! Anyone need a spare SS exarch? ÂÂ
Anyway, rant over. ÂÂ
