Expertly Crafted Dragon Mount Figure

I feel like the quality is super great. /sarcasm. Mine came with part of the tail broken off, I've looked around multiple times for it, but I can't even find it, nor have I done anything to even break it.

I have to agree with this. I knew that I was getting a small and cheaply made plastic statue for a ridiculously high price... but I still wants the precious!

At least the cheaply made statue in the picture sits in its base. :P

I could tell the statue felt a little..."cheap" upon touch, but eh, it's still pretty nifty for the most part.

I have to sadly add myself to the list of complainers...

Leg on the left... check. Tail... check (sorta). Leg in the back...damn it.

Seriously what the hell? That leg is totally off. I was in doubt whether it was the stand or statue but I checked the protective plastic the figure came with, and apparently it was supposed to be a little more to the back (giving the outlines). So, what now? We just sadly look at it and pray it doesn't balance off?

crappiest CE figure ever :/ i want to /slap who ever says expertly crafted..

I'm really nervous to get mine in now. It didn't srrive yet. If it's like the others I'll just name him the 1.0 dragon. Looks nice but fundemtally broken.

Problem is the way the "Collector's Box" is presented in the image. In the video with Yoshi-P showing the CE off the box is shown in more detail and opens very differently, and turned into a nice display box for the statue. What we got was pretty farking different.

I must admit that I did fork out for the collectors edition for the expertly crafted figurine, and mine is just as sad looking as everyone else's in this thread. I did think the box would open up but I guess the joke is on me for not being able to decipher that from the store picture. I paid £130 for it, which is more than the US paid, and I'm kind of sad that it turned out this way. A resigned kind of sad, I'm not expecting anything to be done about it. After all the excitement and waiting like a kid at Christmas I now simply wish I'd gone for the digital collectors.
