quality Villains 13 pin series

[moorhunhe]

I only spotted a thread about the countdown, so wasn't sure to put it in there, so just made a new one.
Mods feel free to move/merge.

Anyways ...

I just recieved the Scar 13 pin from a fellow DPF member, which is great off course!

The pin itself is just so beautiful *but* ... I am the only one spotting this?
There are dents/marks on the surface, and there is what appears dust in between the top layer.

ouch! Yucky quality issue there!

Can you please post this to the series discussion as well? I can add it to the OP info about the pins.

That is actually how many of the pins in this series have been. The pin is made up of two layers to create that mirror look. This is just a suggestion, but try to slide a thin piece of paper between the two layers to get the dust out.

Will look for that Psycho

BLTBoys, that's quite upsetting ... it's already a pin in a more expensive price range.
Will try that, but a shame it's still covered in dents and marks, quite sad that most pins in the series look like that

I don't think your pin is alone, I recall seeing a bunch of them with that appearance on them sadly

I just looked at the 3 we have, and one definately has the kind of warped look in a couple spots.

I fiddled with them a bit, but I did not see how to slide a paper between the layers as someone described above... Not without separating the front piece and potencially damaging the pin. So I would suggest to clean it, try a keyboard/computer dust off can and a soft cloth, like you use for eye glasses? to rub it clean.

A couple of mine have the same problem but I also didn't see a way to fix it.
