Kicker773 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So I finally got mine today...sadly same issue. I bought two and took a chance that even if one box was messed up maybe the other one will be atleast mint. Too bad I was mistaken. Just like the others have mentioned its not the shipping box from Lunar to me, it seems to have been before that. The item itself was well padded with newspaper. Judge for the images.. you can call me anal but at this point not even sure what to do.. frustrated yes.. Did anybody actually get a mint box at all?

CoreyD Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My SD SDF-1 came from Robotkingdom and the box was a dinged up as well. The box cardboard is fairly flimsy, much more so than a bandai or yamatarcadia box, so I'm not surprised that a large number are dinged up. For me, the box goes in the closet. The SD SDF-1 goes on my shelf. I'm ok with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah^. The cardboard is quite thin. I'll have to dig the box out because I don't remember anything obvious, but mine also didn't have far to travel from Lunar.. The SD SDF-1 is in great condifion. I have no issues with the toy at all. I do empathize with the situation, though. I've had a couple Masterpiece Transformers arrive damaged from other stores, and following up on a downer like that takes time and commitment.

jenius Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My box from lunar was perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I ordered 2, one of the boxes had some slight crushed areas and the 2nd one was in much better shape. Slightly disappointed but not a big deal for me as long as the figure wasn't damaged. Edited November 14, 2014 by Saburo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Mine is perfect also which is ironic since I'm one of the ones that didn't care. Found I had a small ding in the corner after closer inspection. Edited November 14, 2014 by MacrossJunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker773 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 You wanna trade? LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) You wanna trade? LoL You can just flat out have the box if you want. I'm running out of storage space for valk boxes anyway. The stupid Bandai ones take up all the space with the dang styrofoam packaging that I can't stack like I can with the Yamato/Arcadia plastic packaging. PM me if you want it and we can work out details. Edit: Oh nevermind. I did find a slight ding in the corner that I didn't notice before. So it's not perfect as I thought it was.

No-Brand Hero Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 My box was slightly crushed in places, but the toy within was fine so I didn't much care. I've put it to work guarding the Infinity Gauntlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miriya Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I love the toy and it is one of the coolest macross toys I have ever got but my box was seriously mangled too. And it is more of a bummer because the box art is so cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Las Vegas Dad Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Received mine today from Lunar and the box is good to go, guess I was lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge for the images.. you can call me anal but at this point not even sure what to do.. frustrated yes.. That's actually not so bad. Mine was worse. When you have to apply pressure to get the slipcase off and have trouble putting it back on, it stops being a "slip" case and you know the damage is kinda extensive.

jenius Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 For those of you with banged up boxes, remove the slip cover and open the box like a book and maybe you can hide minor corner dings on the back half of your box display while showing off the toy inside.

bbrain Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Got both of mine, one box was in great shape, the other was just ok, the box they sent them in was laughable. My puppy likes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Got mine. Putting it as a centerpiece for the Banpresto SDs on my desk. that's exactly what I was considering putting it next to. Those the best SDs valks, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hevangel2 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Mine arrived too! It's pretty good quality with lots of details and colouring. I think it has even more colour than my Yamato 1/3000. In term of price-to-value ratio of, Master Made beats Yamato. I wonder how expensive is the Macross toy license, whats % of a Yamato Macross goes to license fee.

orguss01 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I too received crushed items, i purchased 2 of them. ONe of them severe. Case wont slide off without causing a tear in opposite corner.Looks to be shipping related, thin box crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Sounds like MM really needs to work on their shipping packaging. Whatever they are doing seems to be insufficient to protect the boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
