Update: Paizo are willing to replace my Core Set, with delivery taking up to 8 weeks. Also, the retailer of the expansion accepted the product to be returned, but unfortunately ran out of stock, and were unable to send a replacement. I'm hoping my copies were just a case of bad luck, and that I'm able to get my hands on a clean print of the expansion from somewhere else. If not, I'm debating just getting opaque sleeves to not have to worry about this any further.
Hey everyone, I recently ordered the Core Set and the Curse of the Crimson Throne expansion from two different retailers here in Finland. Upon receiving the products and going through the cards I have noticed that both of the sets share the same card defects. There are cards that have white dots and/or green specks on their backs. The shade of the back print varies greatly. Also, a card in the core set had a red smear on it and couple cards were stuck together resulting in tear marks. In the Curse expansion, some cards were cut off-center, resulting in uneven borders. Few cards have a green tint on their face side. The bottom cards of the plastic wrapped decks were damaged. I first received the Core Set, whose retailer I have contacted and they told me to contact Paizo. It has been over a week since I emailed Paizo and there has been no contact from their side. I received the Curse expansion today and contacted its retailer just now. Overall I'm frustrated with my experience. At 60€ per set, I expected better quality. What really sucks is that I do like the game. I first tried it solo in Tabletop Simulator and decided to get physical copies to play with my family. This has caused me more headache than enjoyment and I am now regretting my purchase, wishing I had stuck with digital instead and decided to get another game to play with them. What has your experience been like? Have you had any issues with defective cards? If so, how long did it take to get the issue resolved? Did you have any problems with international shipping? |
