Hi everyone, thanks for the reply..it actually affects all 3 types of soldiers.
And yes I bought it MIB and when I opened it up from the box, that's what I got.
Sorry but was just wondering if it had happen before and it's common, what was the resolution?
Just FYI I went back to the shop and since I am a regular there; the counter staff actually went to check the demo set presumably sent from Playmobil Germany and it was detailed; all 6 of them. She then proceed to open up 3 more boxes and the verdict is:
1. First box was found all 6 having painted arm
2. Second box was found with 5 figures with painted arm, except the Legionnaire
3. Third box was found with 5 figures with painted arm, except the Centurian.
Clearly this is a mistake during production and packing I would think.
I am still waiting for new from Playmobil...so far no news.
I may follow up with a chaser this coming week. thanks everyone.
