So I emailed RK and they said "we cannot provide replacement for this issue". So I guess I'm stuck with a big fingerprint in Chromia's arm. Windblade should be fixable. Guess I should make a trip to Toyworld and grab a pot of white paint. I've never had any luck with RK's service which is why I prefer to pay the extra and buy HK exclusive items from BBTS.

I'd be very surprised if anywhere offered a replacement for minor paint problems. These sorts of things happen on toys.

+ 1. I had a similar issue buying through BBTS so it's not just RK.

I wouldn't call a fingerprint in the paint minor. Maybe I shouldn't have overreached and mention Windblade.

Can you use the fingerprint to track who painted it and get them to redo the paint job?

It's a matter of perspective, to a collector it may be a deal breaker, but considering what we're discussing is technically a mass produced children's toy, there's an expectation that there will always be a chance of less than perfect - HLJ even state as such on each product page, paint defects are not considered faults with the product....

Missing parts or damage out of the box (or close to, like my Silverbolt that RK is replacing) is a different story altogether...

Well that's just bad service. I hear the guys on the Seibertron podcast bitching all the time about bad paint (what they consider bad paint is anything less than perfect) and BBTS replaces figures all the time for them, if BBTS can do it then everyone should.

Just did a check on some of my storage boxes, and a lot of my SCF pvc figures have started to turn sticky Some of the clear guys have a slightly yellow tinge which isn't really noticeable until you put them next to an undamaged one. I thought I was ding a good job of keeping them in good condition... Stupid central QLD heat... :/

On ebay, what's the purpose of MAKE OFFER button if the seller automatically rejects the offer below the BIN price. Just have a BIN price.

Usually some new sellers forgot that "accept best offer" is active...anyway just dont know why there is an automatic decline option for best offer
