    Got mine today and I have two identical pistols. As looking down the gun (as if I were shooting at someone with it), my tabs are on the right side of the barrel. Any traders out there?


    UPDATE: Found someone to trade with.

    That is completely ridiculous. Pete and the club can blame this on factory problems all they want but an empty box? That's pathetic service, even for them.

    I will be beyond livid if I do... Just got my shipping notice today... I hope I at least get the figure... Guns & hands, I'm fine with swapping.. I trust you will be hammering down FunPub's front door with this issue?

    Glad it got sorted out (hopefully) for you. I may be sick, but if you had the look of a kid on Christmas day like I did when my box from the club arrived, I would have loved to see the look when you opened it up. Glad it looks to be sorted out for you. I would have probably thrown something.

    Got my SG Drift and Over-Run today - everything seems fine, proper guns, both daggers, correct hands, etc. One question though - should SG Drift come with a techspec card? Because mine did not, so if it should then that is missing.

    Did you check underneath the foam?

    My tech spec and directions were under the foam. It looks my Drift is good to go (figure in box, no missing knives, 1 right hand, 1 left hand, 1 sword, and 2 correct hands).

    Yeah, it's not there - no instructions either, just the toy. Not a huge deal, I'm thankful SG Drift had no issues. If there should be a card and instructions I'm sure I can get them to mail me some.

    It should be in the bottom of the box along with one of those moisture absorbing baggies.

    Nope, not there - those baggies ARE there though. My Over-Run had the tech on top, instructions underneath - maybe the dude who inserts them just missed this Drift. I'm honestly not too concerned - compared to the problems it COULD have, I think I'm rather lucky.

    Weird. I feel very fortunate that both my Overrun and Drift are completely problem free. I hope I'm as lucky once Runamuck arrives.

    Shoot I hope my SG Drift's ok! Good thing I have a spare Drift in case of missing swords. Still have to find a Blurr though.

    Just like the OP, I have two "lefties" (looking down the barrel like you are going to shoot someone, the tabs are on the left side) if any "righties" want to trade.

    I called in the calmest tone I could lol, like I said, Karen said they would send a new one out to me, the only thing I'm concerned about is when. I know figures like these tend to be one and done, unless they do what they did with P/CP and make more. But I really don't want to wait months only to have one show up with one of the issues stated in here. Two of the same guns i'm fine with, but two of the same hand or a missing sword will send my blood pressure into overdrive.

    So, in that regard, I might (reluctantly) take a chance and buy another off eBay, at least that way if the other one comes with problems, i'm covered.

    I didn't throw anything thankfully. But I did momentarily have a brief moment of snapping insanity.
    But if the same thing happens with my Botcon set...

    Unless you want the purple paint that the SG Drift swords have on them...

    But if your figure is missing something, I'm sure FP will correct it. Whether they'd correct the mismatched guns or not, I dunno. But it's just as easy to swap with someone here and help another out at the same time.

    Crap, just saw the pictures in the review section, didn't realize they painted the swords! That said, the figure looks really good! Really too bad a bunch had to have issues!

    Dang, I got two of the same guns on my Drift. What is the consensus on what to do, are people just swapping? Has anyone actually emailed TFCC and got anything back yet?

    I got two of the same guns as well. Both have the tabs on the left side.

    I got two of the same guns as well. If I were holding the guns both tabs face right.
