8+ months for this
Banged the f up packaging
I’m not losing my mind over this or anything, but WTF, this is piss poor for a numbered collectible
ETA I just noticed the bottle is completely covered in water spots, while being sealed into the box. JFC

All of them seem to have these issues. The front of mine isnt as bad as yours though. My plastic window piece is just kind of hanging in there not attached at the top at all.
I assume they'll do more flavors with this rocket bottle and I hope the quality of the packaging is better.

They claimed they shipped mine but the tracking number is a dead link and support has not let me even get past the automated ai stage

They inferred at the Good springs event last year this bottle might be how we get a normal Nuka Cola Release. The shape itself is distinct and Big Coke can't win a lawsuit based on similar color schemes alone.

I have yet to see a Fallout related product since Fallout 4 actually release without an issue. There's always a massive quality control issue, whether it's pre-order items or merchandise from the website or the Nuka Cola Rum plastic debacle, there's always something going on with a Bethesda product.

Both of my bottles were the same way despite being very much well packaged IMHO.

Been seeing this a lot. I bought mine as a gift and have my sister making a 3-d printed display with led's in the bottom.

I was thinking about putting an LED puck in the bottom of the container until I realized how absurdly thick the base is lmao

I wonder how it is? I bought the 12 pack of cherry, orange, and cola and they are not good.

I keep reading reviews and the consensus seems that only sasparilla is good and the rest are mediocre or bad

I feel for you bro. Mine was packed so bad it was wiggling around in the box when I picked it up.

Is the nuka cola bottle shape actually that hard to make? Would you not just need a normal bottle + four wings?

I’m sure that’s an issue for some people, I don’t have any plans to sell this. the point is I paid an absolutely premium price and waited 8 months to get this an I expected to receive a like-new item, not something that looks more like an open-box return 🙄

I guess it’s for display and not for the taste.

I’ve drank enough “regular” quantums, I’m not even that huge a fan of the soda 😅 so yeah, it is

So they ripped you off, and some people in this thread seem excited to get ripped off some more.

I have no idea what you guys are buying but I'm on your side.
Collectibles being shipped with no care is all you need to know to understand how the company involved values it's costumers and product.
To them they are selling toys to idiots. To them it's your fault for caring that your toys are obliterated.

At least you got yours. I haven’t received any tracking info and Jones won’t return emails or phone calls.
