TheFil4 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hey everyone quick question which I need your help with. Recently I got the rocky 4-pack minimates and it didn't have a hairpiece, I googled around and this was a common problem,I message DST customer service and they said because the set came out a while ago there not sure if they have any left does anyone have any suggestions on how to get one. I know the first response is eBay but I really don't feel like paying for something that shoud have been free many thanks Fil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Ebay is your best bet for that hairpiece but watch out for scalpers . Do you drive a classic Ford Pinto by any chance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFil4 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 yeah but like I said I don't wanna buy something I should have been given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 yeah but like I said I don't wanna buy something I should have been givenTo be fair you would have been given the hair piece if you'd bought them 7 years ago when they came out. If you bought a preowned car and it didn't have a gas cap would you expect the manufacturer to give you one seven years later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 "Should have been given" is a bit of a stretch as you can't really expect DST to have replacement parts for a product released in 2007 that has been sold out for years. The fact that the hairpieces lasted as long as they did was pretty remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm confused. Should this hairpiece have been included in the set or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubya Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm confused. Should this hairpiece have been included in the set or not? It was, but was missing from most, if not, all sets. DST made amends by sending out the missing piece for those who replied, but that was quite a while ago and supply has certainly been exhausted. I'll look around in my "parts-bins" and see if I can't locate one for you, Fil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I asked customer service to pull a black hairpiece for you (unfortunately after they sent their initial response), but it will not be the exact one. We do not seem to have any of those left. It has been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFil4 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 But if for example if they made 1500 sets they should have 1500 hairpieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 But if for example if they made 1500 sets they should have 1500 hairpieces 7 years is a long time. Cdubya is trying to locate one for you, so pump the brakes a little on the indignation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) http://www.minimatemultiverse.com/index.php?showtopic=3274&hl=%2Brocky+%2Bhairpiece#entry47821 I'm afraid I haven't any spare but here's what your looking for .....my point is [perhaps] that all the hairpieces were omitted from all the original packaging & at that time Diamond offered them to all who were missing them & contacted them . They were supplied in that baggie.....leastways mine were. I am however still waiting on DST for my Captain Britain's ears Edited October 6, 2014 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFil4 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Just to clarify I'm not being negative to anyone offering help and it is appreciated but it's not a secondhand set its new in packaging and just thought they would keep spares Thanks for the help especially cdubya and DSTZach Edited October 6, 2014 by TheFil4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I do not know if they requested 1500 hairpieces exactly, because the likelihood that we would receive 1500 customer service requests is very low. I'm sure there are plenty of MOC sets out there, like yours was, and people who opened them and didn't care. And we keep parts going a good ways back, but it may very well be that the remaining hairpieces were tossed in the Build-A-Minimate parts box after five years or so passed. I'll look this weekend, but I'm not 100% sure I can tell it from another black hairpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think Tank Top Rocky had the same hairpiece, if you ever run across one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
