Ok. Finally got ahold of my blemished minimag body from synreal.

I know BlackVCG took some pictures of his, but he didn't post them.

< sarcasm >

I will not tolerate the level of disfigurment. I demand a refund immediatly.

< /sarcasm >

The picture looks grainy, I had to turn off the flash and then edit the levels on the image to get it looking true to life, the flash completely covered up the blemishes.

Here's another pic of yet *another* blemish!

< sarcasm >

I still cannot believe this. I'm outraged! I want my 50 bucks back! :rolleyes:

< /sarcasm >


Post pics of your blemishes! If you can find them that is. ;)

There are even more on the back half that I didn't notice! I'm driving over to AGD right now and throwing this through their window!

I was holding it up to my face and rotating it so the light hit it correctly and I saw three tiny grey lines!!!

They're so sneaky, when I tried to take a picture, they disappeared. I'll try to catch them though.

I caught two of them!

The third is unphotographical!

Like Bigfoot!
Or Nessie even!

After looking at the picture, I wiped the area with a moist cloth. The only thing that wasn't dust was the inverted exlamation point on the left.

I couldn't get another pic though, took me a few minutes to get that one to come out looking right.

There's also a little spot like the one in the first pic in the back where the body meets the rail, just in front of the field strip screw. I'm getting tired of putting down the magnifying glass and fine toothed comb to pick up the camera though. Use your imagination ;)

Just this teeny tiny lil spot...
My little brother said, after me asking him if he could find the blem., "Wow, they must really want perfection for their customers"

You can barely notice most of the "blemishes" AGD must go over them carefully. If you have the time, get a good lite and rotate it around, you'll probably notice them better that way.

Or maybe one of the good ones fell into the box on its way to the laser engravers and you for real lucky. All the marks simply make it look like it's been played with for a few games. Heck, I made a worse mark in mine today while I was adjusting the powerfeed plug.

HA! I just got my polished "BLEM" body. Uhm...i guess thats a blemish....i guess where i come from blemish means something different. :P
Any other manufacturer wouldve thrown it in a box and shipped it out the door.

Yah Jah, same here! I was expecting to see a lot of faint spots around the body but I had to look really, REALLY hard to find the one small, tinsey winsey blemish which to me wouldn't have mattered much even if I did buy the body new.

I am definitely happy with the purchase even if I didn't need the body. But as you can see from my sig, it's now my favorite body...for now. Just waiting till I get my black micromag body from a friend of mine. ;)
