I dont normally defend GTM, but to be completely fair it's not something they would normally do. I've followed their threads and their involvement in this community enough to know they have absolutely nothing to gain from this. So I don't think GTM did it purposely. HOWEVER, some of you guys are out of control....completely out of control with the GTM fainboyism. How do you go from a customer getting a destroyed kit to somehow GTM being totally awesome for taking care of him. I don't know if you guys realize how incredibly stupid that makes you look. Nothing personal with any of you, but that's simply ridiculous. Don't try to take the blame off, even if it somehow was during shipping, It's still GTM's responsibility to make the claim and get his customer the pieces.
Also, just my two cents, that is not shipping damage...you can see areas that have been sanded down to weld flanges and supports. Scratches go all the way to the weld...no way shipping would have done that. Maybe they are pieces used for prototype fitment testing or something. Maybe GTM was tight on time to meet some shipping deadlines and figured they could pass these as shipping damage and then send the customer a real kit once he complained...
We can all keep making theories, but in the end I think I'd still buy GTM stuff and I think most people here agree this is an isolated incident rather than the norm. Just please people stop saying GTM is awesome when stuff like this happens, its sickening.
