i guess this could be a place.
was wondering if anyone every set up a site to catalog broken pieces of numbered series, seems a bit anal in thought, welcome to my world.

playmates latinum series borg queen:
i have two in my possession, one has the "tubes" broken on her head, recieved this way.
heresay: i saw 3 on ebay, selling as is, one with broken finger, one with broken foot, and one with crack in leg.

Playmate latnium series picad:first contact:
purchased one on ebay, seleer later claimed broke in shipping and issued refund, i cannot confirm that he did not sell to another bidder, i never saw broken piece.

maybe the whole idea just needs a tally board somewhere

boy, you could start an entire board just for broken items....

one for thought:
Johnny Lightning KB Toys Internet Exclusive Chrome Supercar - 1000 produced
the wings are very unstable and i would not be surprised if at least half of them are broken

I have had the same problem with Avon Bottles and Salt & Pepper Shakers! Very few wanted to replace anything broken saying:"They were in good shape when sent!" Needless to say, I stopped buying from the ones who refused to correct the problem!
