I dont know where to put this question so im putting it here. I spose i could goto some forum but tbh the people here are far more helpful in my experience.

I am having a real problem with the bases on my models lately. Several of the ones i have bought have issues. Most commonly this is that the square base is rough on the underside meaning it snags on my playmat. This ive rectified myself by shaving them level with a knife.

The bigger problem is with the pegs and the connectors for large ships. So far i own 3 large ships and 2 of them have real issues. The joint on the bottom of 2 of the ships isnt level and the whole ship leans to one side. On my Lambda this is especially bad as the wing on the low side is loose and just constantly falls down in play, sometimes hittin other ships (very bad) I also find that on the large ships the pegs dont fit well into the base and they wobble and come lose until the ship will acctually fall over off the base.

I  had to clean up a few pegs where they werent even and that fixed issues i had with some of my other ships but it didnt help with these.

I thought about buying the packs of bases that you can get although annoyingly its only the large ship ones i really need and theyre only 1 per pack. My main concern here is that i buy a pack and have the same issues.

So my question: Have i just been really unlucky? i dont own much yet, it seems like a high % so far but my sample is small. How do you guys deal with this issue if it happens to you, any cleaver fixes etc? Has anyone found a good replacement or alternative for the bases or have any experience with the official packs of replacement bases?

Id also like to be able to goto tournys eventually so keeping the bases 'legal' is important.
