Raider missing gun pod

By Axotl, in X-Wing

Hey quick question - got my raider in the mail today and was very bummed to discover AFTER opening it that one of the little gun pods on the front left of the ship was missing. A swift search through the box confirmed my fear - it wasn't there. (Unlike with one of my corvettes where the turret was just missing in the box somewhere). Sad that neither I, nor the folks at CSI had noticed this before this point. My concern is it sounds like FFG doesn't replace huge ships (totally reasonable), and I'd have to ship it back to my retailer (annoying nightmare). Did anyone else experience this? I've seen this in person a ton at my local store where it's clear bits are missing from models, so it can't be uncommon. Waiting to hear back from FFG, but does anyone know if they have a stock of huge ship bits that they can send out? I read that they have spare turrets for the CR-90, so I'm hoping they have these - though these aren't meant to come off it doesn't look like. Help meee?

Edit - Just a reminder: Check your toys out before you open them, and buy in person when you can! It's a hidden perk to supporting your FLGS..

Hey, I found a gun pod glued on a wing of my new Phantom. Weird.

Just kidding. Message FFG. They could help.

Same one missing on mine. Decided to just soak the damage and make lemonade out of the mole hill or whatever....

Repainted the raider and putting battle damage at the missing pod area...some slob in an x wing blew it apart in its last battle will be my back story.... Sigh...
