With ships like this, there's no way the Rebellion could have won!

Maybe try fixing it yourself?

With other minis I've used brute force or a heating/cooling method to reshape or reform pieces that were damaged. This is a different substance to be sure, but the smae ideas may work.

I'm afraid to break it, and once I do that I'm liable for it. It's not a sense of entitlement, it's the fact I really can't enjoy playing with those pieces the way they are, and with the amount these ships cost, you should be able to expect them to not have such a big flaw.

One of my TIE Advanced, and TIE Fighters are, well probably everyone on this forum knows by know! Banking to the left slightly. It is very annoying for me, and I almost refuse to use those ships. Part of me wants to email / call FFG for an exchange, but the other part is saying to myself not to because it's a new game and if everyone is doing that they could start losing business or something or other, I'm not really sure I feel bad about returning stuff lol, but my OCD still says it's annoying the crap out of me, and I'm scared I'll break it and be liable if I try to fix it. I do believe for the price you pay you deserve good quality, anyone know their support email? I do think as loyal fans we deserve the ships we pay for.

Man. I know we pay a lot of money for our toys, but if a model is just slightly off kilter, it cant be THAT big of a deal. If you recognize that it is your OCD kicking it up that far, then you may also realize that unless you have an actual issue with the game components, entitlement will only get you so far.

I recommend breathing exercises. Greet the day with a breath of fire and put a smile on your face.

No matter which forum you go to there's always someone throwing around the word entitlement these days

And in that case it appears to be true.

Sorry to be so blunt, but there is a difference between a legitimate issue and making a mountain out of a molehill. Reasonable versus unreasonable.

In his defense though, 'reasonable' is rather subjective.

To some people, if a ship is off kilter by 10 degrees at a slight slant, they chalk it up to a craft making a maneuver. To others, the only reasonable state for that model is to be perfectly level with the playing suraface, as if there is such a state in outer space.

All my ships are slightly angled to the left. Weird.

Same here - I'd thought that was how they were meant to be until I came upon this thread (the idea of a freakshow thread is hilarious, by the way - well done gran_risa.gif)

I think the worst thing I've noticed is the pegs though - the D-shape isn't always right on the male end, so I end up having to fiddle around a bit to get it right into the female end. But once they're all assembled, it's nothing. I was really quite impressed by having all straight cannons on the X-Wings!
