I just received this item yesterday. It arrived five days faster than expected. The packaging was wonderful. The case was intact when I took it out of the box. The item itself is fantastic. It's heavier than I expected, which is great. Here are some similarities I've seen with many low reviews: a child was playing with it and it cracked when it hit something, the paint started peeling after constant handling, or it broke when it was was dropped. This is a collector's item, not a toy. It's not meant to be played with. If you are looking to buy something for your child, I would recommend a glow stick or something that is clearly playable rather than a $40 collectible. I definitely recommend this item to anyone interested in collecting.
