Its funny (well not funny) that they all break in the EXACT same spots! Two of my 4 that have been broken were broken exactly there. Kyrin’s business wasn’t so formal when my beloved Rainbow Emperor broke, so I didn’t even have the chance to file for repairs from the post office. AT LEAST you have Kyrin! 🙂 See, things could be worse. And, at least his beautiful face wasn’t broken.
You are so right Wolfen. Still waiting on the seller!
If there is no original box, it’s good to wrap the tail area first so it makes no gap between the tail and body then wrap the dragon all together and if it is packed tight with alot of cushion then it should arrive in good shape. That is unless you get the postal worker who loves to play football with boxes!!
The Damage:
To add to the damage, the seller had tape attached to the back of the neck to start the bubble wrap and it pulled off some paint.Rusti wrote:purpledoggy wrote:I know this is off topic but I had a 16 year old yesterday that I picked up from her high school because the school nurse thought she was in labor. When I asked her if this was her first pregnancy the school nurse got pissed and said to me “SHE’S ONLY 16?!” Lucky for her I didn’t hear her say that my partner did. If I would have heard her I would have informed her of the 15 year old I picked up last year who was pregnant with her 3rd child (two living children already). I do believe parents need to be informed and minors should not be allowed to get abortions by themselves. I don’t think they can make that kind of decision by themselves, they are not mature enough.
Quite frankly, in my opinion, if you are not mature enough to handle a child, you probably shouldn’t be having sex, just because of accidents happening.
But it’s my understanding that I have a pretty unpopular opinion where that’s concerned. 😉
I have to agree! But then again, I have come across some 20-30 yr olds that shouldn’t be do’n the deed either! 😉 Dumb as he!!dark_zorse wrote:AdaraSky wrote:dark_zorse wrote:AdaraSky wrote:Just off the subject a little, what do ya’ll think about Prop 4 (Minor Abortion) in Cali? I myself don’t agree with it but it passed. So now minors don’t have to notify their parents about them getting an abortion. So instead of parents being given the chance to talk to there kids about the situation and maybe how to avoid or protect them if the situation was to happen again, the kid can just go get an abortion and hey, if it happens again they’ll just get another! Just my 2 cents.
Like so many of the propositions, I sense that it is more agenda driven than because people actually want this. This is the third time this bill has shown up on the ballot. And it’s third defeat.
What I think this ballot is intended to be is a ‘baby step’ in the direction of outlawing abortion altogether – specially after looking at the supporters of that ballot. I think California voters saw this, and shot it down – again.
I can’t really comment on the responsibility issue. Accidents happen, true enough, however I would like to know where in hell the parents of these minors are. Good parenting is the prevention of most juvenile problems. (And yes, I am fully aware that some parents might be in prison, single, and just trying to make ends meet. But those are few and far between to actual bad parents producing bad kids.)

I too wonder where are the parents but then again there are good parents that do a good job and kids are still gonna do what they want. We were all that age once. I just feel that if there was a case like this that the teen/kid would want to open up and be honest with their parents and they would probably be surprised with how undernding moms and dads can be. Accidents happen, we just have to work through them and be families. This prop basically makes things harder for parents.See, I disagree there. If the parent has done their job from day one, then the child will be open and responsive to their parent, or at least understand the dynamics of things well enough to prevent accidents. I know this is much, MUCH easier said then done, but being a good parent really is hard work! This does not preclude a bit of rebellion in some way or another. However, it is up to the parent to know when to push issues and spell out from early on what is and is not acceptible behavior, and the consequences that go with said behavior. This requires being a parent, not a friend – a distinction I believe is often lost, these days.

I do agree that if the parent has done their job then the child should follow but that would be a perfect world. Some kids no matter what good parenting you have installed will make their own decisions good or bad. This is comming from a parent. My parents on the other hand didn’t do their jobs but that doesn’t mean I had to follow that. Then there are the demon spawn kids that it doesn’t matter what you do, they still don’t get it and those are the ones who deffinately need to be open with their parents and not given the right to abort on there own decison. There are most times when a parent tries to push issues and it pushes the kid to go the other way just to spite their parents. I think you are a minor for a reason. You can’t buy cigaretts or alcohol. You need a parents permission to get a tattoo or piercing and in some places if you are a minor you can’t get them. If you are a minor it involves your parents and thats the way I think it should be but what I think isnot what everyone else thinks. 😆 Off to yell at the kids! 😆Kyrin wrote:I am going to have to write every seller who puts up an Emperor and let them know how to ship and why!
Arrggh!
Don’t throw that dragon way lady!
Send me pictures, and I will write you a formal estimate of repair costs, etc…perhaps the seller will agree to paying for repairs…it’s worth a try.
You know I would be more than happy to fix him for you, and if the seller pays for the shipping and repair, you won’t be out anything.
Kyrin
I’ll get around to taking pics hopefully today. If you don’t mind, could you PM me your email. I don’t know if I have it from my last fixer upper or not. Thanks Kyrin. 😀I thought about getting him fixed but then would be out the money for fixing him and the shipping to and from. It may be worth it to just wait for another to come up. Oh well, for now I’ll just wait for the seller to get back to me. I asked for him to be double boxed but it didn’t happen. 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 :cry: 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥 😥

This prop basically makes things harder for parents.So I won the Emerald Emp that was on ebay last week and paid a decent price for it. Well I got it today and the tail is broke in 4 pieces along with the two feet. It is not a clean break and some of the little pieces turned to powder. I am so bummed 😥 cause the Emeralds are one of my favs and I had been wanting an Emerald Emp. for quite some time. I emailed the person that I bought it from and am waiting for a response. Thanks for lending an ear!
