wrapped up mine over the holiday weekend! lots of fun but not entirely stable. looks fantastic but limited space to actually place figures on teh top deck. if they had made it even 1 more peg wide all around it would be much easier to place figures up top. its a nit picky complaint but really wish it had just a bit more room up top.
ended up putting in some small reinforcement pieces beneath the top ring as it's prone to wiggle apart. put some 4x6 plate under the console areas as well as this area is prone to separating when placing figures. none of this can be seen but has helped make it more sturdy. |

Mine was sent UPS and labeled to be shipped to the local post office, and not my house. Did everyone's come shipped like mine below? No packaging, crushed into a shipping box?

looks like how mine was shipped but i don't care what happens to a box that is going to be recycled anyway so long as all the contents are there. it came to my house though. FYI, turned out i was missing a 2x3 smooth plate piece in the end.

They did a pretty crap job packing things... my star trek face odd set boxes are destroyed, if I was collecting for resale I'd be pissed. My TD boxes are mostly OK though one of five was smashed a bit. I think they just didn't have boxes sized for the larger sets.

However, because the 50% off BF was extended I decided to pull the trigger on a third TD and two Battle Platforms. I'll report back to see how those turn out. In past orders I have had several TRU orders thrown in a box with no padding and my boxed items came in with crushed corners and action figures with folded cards. I would say I have had more crushed items vs padded items. Photos of one of my orders; inappropriate sized box. They tried to reinforce the box with extra folded cardboard. Also TRU eBay, same experience. I had some 50th Anniv items thrown in a box. However, I contacted TRU eBay to complain and they offered me a 10% off for next purchase but you need to contact them before the purchase.
