    I was so excited for this :( 

    Pre order cancelled. Maybe later batches will be better.

    True, but considering how they could have just ignored it and hope it goes away, them acknowledging the issue and willing to send replacements still shows they care. Some figures don't even get that much. Honestly not sure if MA even cares about the issue in their version. They haven't said anything or offered any help.

    They also aren’t being like XTB where they have horrible QC and say “just glue it” or charge $200+ and then have the thing break while still in the box.

    Black Mamba does send replacement parts if necessary, it's just not many people reported breakages on their Blitzwings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Anyway, I decided to cancel my PO today. I'm just fine with my MA for now but I wanna give a huge shout out to Zeta because their figure sure came a long way since the initial prototype :)

    I was more thinking about the loose panels near the feet and the weird paint issues. Though I guess there's nothing to replace in either of these instances.

    Perhaps Black Mamba decided to treat MA/SX line differently. Normally, requesting after sale service for Black Mamba products is simply a terrible experience.

    Can't argue with that. I always get what I needed but it can take months sometimes

    I’m 2 for 2 with BMB parts replacements, but you’re right it does take for-ev-er!
    With Hasbro I’m 0/2 at the moment so...

    Been able to get stuff from every company I’ve bought from, but that’s mostly due to using Showz. I think some companies are worse to contact without retailers. Otherwise most provide support for this sort of stuff.

    After chatting with some friends who already got this, I decided to cancel my preorder. It is really disappointing. I may consider Zeta's second batch (if any).

    Lack of paint, I might be able to fix myself to an extent but how the hell am I gonna remove the paint that covers the canopy?

    What’s their impression or opinion?

    They think ZT's is even worse than SX's ... Perhaps higher price is also a factor (ZT's is more than 700 RMB in China).

    I would like to share some good news. ShowZ said they contacted Zeta and will try to send repaired wing parts.

    That's great news. I ended up paying off the preorder a few days back.

    So I got my order in from Omegalock today.

    The good: Looks gorgeous, feels nice and solid in hand, no flappy bits

    The bad: Just a minor negative here, but....they forgot to include wings. Or a face. :D  I know the wings were meant to come in a separate box, was the face meant to as well?

    [EDIT] I see from a previous post that yes the face was meant to come in the same box as the wings. Hopefully Omegalock can resolve this quickly, they've been pretty good with me before so I'm not too worried.
