My Love For Life Review

I was browsing the classifieds section of my regular forum and came across someone who was selling off some of his collectible figures. He was selling off his Revoltech Fraulein Asahina Mikuru for less than half the original price. It was stated that the condition of the item was rated 8/10 so without asking for actual pictures of the Revoltech Fraulein Asahina Mikuru I confirmed my purchase with the seller. My first mistake there. Well the seller sent me a shipping notification and after 20 days I was anxious to find out why my item has not reached me yet.

So off I went to the post office only to find out that the seller has used surface/seal mail to deliver my item. I was told that ETA was over a month. Sure enough, after waiting for over 5 weeks I finally got the postal collection notice. Honestly speaking, I wasn't pleased at all when I got my hands on the package. Just check out the overview yourself.

After unwrapping the outer layer of brown paper, this is how the parcel looks like.

The seller had used a McVities Digestives box as the delivery box. This kind of box offers no added structural firmness to prevent squashing damage and thus the horrible condition of the parcel.

Upon emptying the contents I found 3 pieces of crumpled miscellaneous promo brochures as buffer material.

Here it is, the box of Revoltech Fraulein Asahina Mikuru. Notice the major depression on the left side.

This is one of those bad experiences of getting a poorly packed delivery. There is nothing much I can do about it now but to salvage what I got on hand and hope that the actual Revoltech Fraulein Asahina Mikuru is in "acceptable" condition.
