Everyone reading this has had a broken part on a vehicle and tried to super glue it, only to have the broken parts stick to your fingers and not together. I have tried hot glue, epoxy, melting the parts together, nothing has worked! I purchased a Defiant Space Shuttle off ebay in a huge lot. UPS Dropped the box that the Defiant and Booster was in. The seller wrapped the entire thing in bubble wrap, but did not separate the Defiant from the Booster first. The weight of the Defiant made it smash through the top of the Booster at the latch and broke one of the supports in the rear. Here is the front latch damage:

That part holds the weight of the entire front end of the Defiant. The damage extends further:

The box was insured for $300, I have made a claim with UPS, we will see how that goes!
