    Got my set here today. The right hand is fine - but the left wrist shattered into 4 different pieces as soon as I got it out of the box. Amazing 3D print quality! Doesn't help that the shipping box only contained one tiny sheet of bubble wrap around a smaller box to protect it.

    Don't buy this if it has to be shipped internationally.

    For most people, I think that's impossible since the manufacturer is Chinese.

    True. I was just frustrated because it seemed like the package was battered around during shipping and broke, but I could have just been unlucky and gotten a defect pair. Seller said he would send a replacement hand.

    Which site did you use? You should ask for a replacement.

    I used Johosotony, and he'd be happy to send a replacement.

    Yeah, I bought from Johosotony. I sent him a message about the situation and he told me he'd send a replacement right hand. Hopefully it works out. The left hand functions very nicely and I do want to have a complete pair.

    Joho has always been a great seller. Never had any issues with him.

    Got my replacement hand just a few minutes ago, and it's great. I'd like to amend my previous angry comment - If you're going to buy this, buy from Johosotony! Even if you get a dud pair like mine, He's very courteous and will help you out.

    I'm assuming these are no longer available?

    Yup, they reply quickly and send replacements if needed, I always buy Matrix Workshop and Shockwave Lab stuff there.

    Hmm. I’m looking around for these and it seems every retailer is sold out. Was I too late to get these, or will some sites eventually get new stock?
