That's what happened with my RD Dann of Thursday recently. The peg hole that connects the foot plate and leg wiring ended up just breaking because of how thin the plastic was + clear plastic to boot.
Thankfully, I was able to fix it and reattach the foot plate easily. No way I'm going to bother with connecting the wiring (plus, it actually improves the figure.)

All summer they just toss it in a bag or shove it in the box but as soon as there's even a hint of snow they get all uppity

You got lucky. A hip joint on mine broke when I tried to change its pose after a year of it being just standing on my desk. The clear plastic on that part is this as fuck and cracked by itself under the pressure of the pin. I managed to glue it together but I don't even bother to display it anymore.

>i completely ham-hand a figure right out of the box. the most expensive figure too. i ordered several but this was the absolute worst thing i could ham-hand in my entire collection.
>at the time, i am in such denial that i blame the toy company, and think to myself that the toy was broken before i touched it. only until a few weeks ago did i accept the realization that it was 100% on me.
>i am absolutely furious at the company who makes this toy. and I want to exact revenge on them somehow.
>i tell the site i bought it from that i never received the shipment.
>i literally package the toy i ham-handed, write "fuck you" about 30 times on a piece of paper, fold up the paper and put it in the box, mail it directly to the CEO of that company using a phony sent address
>i didn't explain anything, didn't ask for a refund of any kind, didn't do anything to reveal who I was, because I didn't want them to connect it to the $500+ worth of toys i basically got for free by getting refunded by the toy store. I even scratched off the bar code so they couldn't scan/track it somehow.
>tfw kept all my money, got like 6 free toys, broke 1 and sent the broken 1 to the CEO of its company saying "fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you" and he totally saw it

Well there it is, the stupidest fuckin' thing I'll read all day.
>>5408072
I have come across loads of those situations recently. I can't stop falling into that trap. At least they were good deals and collectively didn't spend a ridiculous amount.
>>5408075
I had a notification once stating a package wasn't left because they couldn't find a safe place to leave it. Made a receptacle of sorts out of stuff on the porch. A combination of a chair and flower pots by the front door for them to throw packages into.

>figure you've been wanting but never got starts slowly crawling up in price
Well I gue--

What the fuck. Why is this happening?

Every fucking time.

>Order something rare for amazingly good price on Mandarake
>Realise after flying through the order confirmation the store was Fukuoka
>>5409270
What's wrong with Fukuoka?
I know Nakano/Shibuya/SAHRA are the more expensive branches, and Umeda is the bro-est one.
>>5409270
Was it in a bad condition or something?
>>5409283
Nakano is the bro branch order something at 11pm EST and have order confirmation by 5am EST, they are the greatest.
>>5409283
>>5409336
Fukuoka are absolutely based when it comes to getting seriously rare, sought-after items in stock for extremely low prices.
The problem is that they apparently communicate with trained falcons. Takes days or sometimes even weeks for them to confirm or cancel an order, and sometimes just as long again to ship it.
I sometimes wonder if Fukuoka branch is literally some Japanese guy up a mountain still living like it's the age of warring states.
