Fuck... This is probably why mine has not shipped and my card not charged even though I ordered on Monday.


Just received mine, no white mailed or packing box, crushed and opened. Not just box crushed, but item is crushed. Called customer service, very unhelpful! No longer in stock so all they can do is issue me a credit, after they receive the item back! Basically I'm out the money for a couple of weeks and no Slave I. What kind of idiots don't put items in a shipping box. I've ordered non-collectible items from Amazon that come in a box and they put them in a separate box, so why not this one? Hasbro, please DO NOT give Amazon anymore exclusives!


Item received pretty beat up no exterior mailing box and labels attached. They offered me a 25 percent refund or return it, Item is no longer available .......spoke to a team lead who advised the same thing. Spoke to another rep who advised that they had no idea whether or not it would come back in stock because of it being under review. If they determine that the issue is un fixable they will blow it out via the warehouse. and you only have 30 days to return it for a full refund. In response I cancelled my interceptor order and re ordered with the gift option. I'll wait it out but I'm not thrilled at all.

Amazon page:

We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.



Slave I Boba Fett's Spaceship vehicle comes with Han Solo in Carbonite figure
Wings pivot
Launch missiles
Release bombs
Lift cockpit canopy to access bay


Item Under Review
This item is currently unavailable because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

Yep.

Slave 1 Scandal in full effect. On par with any other ridiculous and unnecessary scandal the toy companies have going on these days.

Amazon has vaporized the item from ordering, and I am now in limbo as to whether or not I will get a replacement for the damaged one those assholes shipped to me.

I am now wondering if I should just hang onto the damaged one and wonder what happens next.

Tough call. You might hold onto it since you have 30 days. Better to have a damaged one at a discounted rate than none if they do not have enough to cover the losses.


I bet Ebay prices skyrocket on undamaged ones unless the start shipping again by the end of the week.

I wonder what percentage of the initial shipments are being returned. This is going to slaughter Amazon's profits if it is over 50%. All those returns are going straight into the warehouse trash while Hasbro laughs all the way to the bank.

Yeah, this is pretty alarming.

I do have a blue Slave 1 from the TRU "gift pack" they sold a little while back for 110 dollars.

At least that one isn't damaged.

Let's keep this thread alive with any updates from Rebelscum, Amazon and other sources of information. It will help those of us who are stuck with damaged goods decide what to do next. Thanks for the information from Rebelscum, as I had no idea that it was a scandal before I read that so many others are in the same boat.

Well, I am Blessed afterall.

Turns out Amazon shipped out a new BSI from their warehouse in Lewisbury, PA just an hour ago.

Whether or not it's in the white mailer remains to be seen, but at this point, all I want is a spacecraft that isn't damaged. The box is honestly something that I am now indifferent to.

Did you return yours or are they automatically reshipping ones they know went out unpacked?


Edit: nevermind, reread your original post. Just hope they have enough left to fill my order after replacing the damaged ones. Wonder why others are being told they can only get a credit.

Probably because I called them 2 different times, and also emailed them as well.

I figure that might have had something to do with it, or perhaps it was a fluke.

All I know is that I am not going to be the poor fool paying 200 dollars for this thing on Ebay once Amazon pulls the plug on the entire set-up.

But... But... I need one. It's the final piece to this:

http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1101274/

OHHHH Dude, I just checked out that link. Pretty badass what you got going on with your collection. I always wanted to know what a all black Slave 1 would look like kind of like a SpecOps Slave 1, I might try it someday but I'm sure I will catch a lot of shit for it from the StarWars nerdgeeks.:)

HTS took down the coming soon listings for the 3.75 Black Series singles. All they have now are full cases available. It looks like I won't be getting Padme from them.

If that Mara Jade didn't have a damn t-crotch she would be a perfect fodder figure. Still pretty useful regardless.

I'm assuming they'll be relatively plentiful. I saw the whole 1st wave yesterday (minus medal Luke) at my soon-to-be-shuddered k-mart. They even had the 6" sandtrooper which appears to be the HTF member of the " line. So I figure Mara will not be a tough get. I think it's a myth about the female characters being tough to find.

Yet to see Padme or Luke in the wild and only one Sandtrooper.

It would appear to be over.

My BSI arrived yesterday in a brown cardboard box.

Inside the cardboard box, there it was in the white mailer, with the white mailer surrounded by packing.

It was certainly a relief to see.

Now I just have to go to the Post Office to return the first BSI, which looks like it was drop-kicked several times.

SW collectors are probably the only group that give a fig about carding errors.
