So, I had put in a very large order earlier this week and also ordered a separate bomber from another seller. Both packages came yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the mats, rules box, extra pegs, and planes. However, the B-25(bauer) apparently was shot down by the Japanese while in route and was in 5 pieces when I opened the shipping box! Of course, I frowned and look closer to inspect the damage to decide to proceed. At first I figured I could fix it, as it appeared the breaks were the major seams where the wings and stabilizers are glued. I figured it was probably a poor factory glue job and it came apart with some rough handling in the mail. Sadly, as I inspected the pieces more closely, I noticed the front gun was broken off, as was the bottom turret. At that point, I decided to contact the seller and ask for a new one. Seeing as I have had multiple transactions with the seller and they have always treated me fairly, I am not expecting any grief.
This isn't the first bomber I have heard about coming apart at the seams. Have you received any broken bombers or know any retailers that have? I am sure I remember reading somewhere about something similar somewhere. Hopefully its just a very isolated issue. I really like the overall quality of the game and its components, in all truthfulness, I found the whole "shot-down" bomber rather hilarious.
