I guess the amount of effort it takes to fix up a mini is directly proportionate to the size of the mini. If I'd paid full retail for this I'd be be pretty furious! However thanks to Miniature Market price matching instead of placing 3 orders through different companies I got just about everything here. So I'm happy but upset that WizKids can send out something lower quality and recommend selling it for $100.. They'd be better sending them unprimed... I'm spending more time/effort to sand this big boy down and re-prime him myself... Now I understand why people get air brushes lol
Getting it on sale? I'm okay with a little labor. I'm really impressed they honored my price matches from different sites instead of saying 'no that's too much of a discount', they were completely legit. It actually got me to order more even though it takes a week to ship from Mini Market.
Lots of big cracks in the wings, somehow literally fresh out of the box and plastic, the primer is worn all over in several areas? Plenty of gaps to fill and a big hole. Luckily the stand is removable in the unpainted model. Still this is less work to fix than the painted Red Dragon. Had some trouble catching the cracks in pics but the gaps are an issue I don't have good stuff for that yet (next order lol).
