I was fortunate enough to get one in beautiful crisp condition, no damage. But recently my curiosity won over and I decided to check the ship out. I was horrified to find that it had shipped with two right wings rather than one of each.\u00a0<strong>Also, no Han in carbonite. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/wings.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14437\" alt=\"wings\" src=\"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/wings.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/wings.jpg 500w, https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/wings-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was lucky to catch this with two days left in my return period, but I could not simply exchange for another ship because it is currently &#8220;unavailable.&#8221; (Meanwhile Amazon&#8217;s Marketplace merchants are selling the Slave 1 at scalper prices.) I reluctantly returned the ship, knowing I may have to pay an absurd price to ever get one in acceptable condition. I followed up with a frank email to Amazon customer service detailing my frustration. I got a reply explaining that this has been a reoccurring problem and the Slave 1 would be available again when the issue is resolved. They also offered free 1 day shipping when I go to place my order, as well as a slight discount on the ship. So that&#8217;s nice to hear, I just hope they actually are getting the problems fixed and not just\u00a0pacifying\u00a0me. By the way, as of writing this the Slave 1 is available as an Amazon Warehouse Deal for $93, and that&#8217;s in used condition. Disgusting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ugh, sorry to hear of your troubles Mark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yakface reader Mark T. writes in with his less than idea experience in ordering the exclusive Slave I from Amazon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[306,76,39,160,16],"class_list":["post-14436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-collecting","tag-amazon","tag-exclusives","tag-hasbro-2","tag-tvc","tag-vintage"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14436"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14439,"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14436\/revisions\/14439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yakfaceforums.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
