Hey, guys, I just got my TIE Fighter from KB.com. IT came in bad condition, the box was too big and there was just enough air cushions for them to say they put some in there, allowing the TIE to slide around and get banged up. So, for you MOC/MIB collectors who haven't gotten there's, just a heads-up.

Yeah, ordering online from toy shops is risky. They think that the people that are buying their stuff are kids who will rip them open and throw away the packaging.
I had a different experience with my gunship. It was only padded on one side with a big air pillow, but it was handled well by UPS so it came in excellent condition.
I would try to make a return on your TIE or sell it.

Oh, it's cool now. The local KB's just happened to have a few of them in...would you beleive it!? So I just exchanged it with a decent one. I havr the Imp Shuttle coming in next month from KB, I hope that I get my $99 worth and that it at least comes in alright. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but I won't expect too much.

I wouldnt count on their pre order service. It might not come in for another 3. When they have a date so far ahead. It usually means its subjected to change.
Might be true but the TIE was pre ordered and on the same ticket as the Shuttle and it got here on time if not earlier. We'll see. Too bad the condition sucked. I can partly understand since it's KBs and not a internet store like all the sponsors at various sites that are more geared towards collectors. Still though, if you are going to have an exclusive, I would think that they'd know who buys these kind of items and would at least take a little more effort in packing these. But then that would be a perfect world and we can't have that!
