Why? I didn't like the animation, and much of the item looked like chromed plastic. I have other things in my collection.
I meant, sorry to hear you didn’t sell it to me!
Kidding. No, I didn’t want to ask the reason in case you were facing some hardships or other life matter.
What were you hoping for in terms of animation?
Objectively terrible.

Smoother, slower animation. It's too jerky. The base, especially the chip base, looks cheap, plastic. It just turned me off. I cancelled as soon as I saw photos and videos. I don't regret it. Unusual, but SSC refunded me the NRD. So... I made out.I meant, sorry to hear you didn’t sell it to me!

Hello. I add a late comment here. I own this arm from Blitzway. Unfortunately, two cables broke. So, two inactive fingers. A cable broke at the level of the little finger in the sheath, at this level I may have found a trick to repair it. On the other hand, the other at the level of the index, the cable gave way at the level of the motor in the base. So there is a problem. I am looking for all information, plans, tutorial for dismantling and reassembling this fragile thing. Sideshow and or Bliztway do not respond to any request. Normal, the SAV team gave up considering all the problems encountered with this concept. So don't hesitate, I think I'm not the only one with this problem. A big THANK YOU in advance.

You ever get any information on dismantling this? Mine has stopped working. I have guys who can most likely repair the issue but the main issue is opening it up & we just cannot seem to find a way to get this thing open. Everything is perfectly intact but zero movement.

Hello. Sorry for this very late response. I managed to chat on Instagram with one of the Blitzway creators in this arm. Here are excerpts from our exchange.
"In order to repair the wires connected to the servo motor, the floor must be opened. If you remove the pp film attached to the floor, you can release the screw to open the floor."
"If you succeed in ripping off the floor board, you will be able to check the pcb board. Take care not to break the board, pull out the line of the board, and remove the board bonded with double-sided tape from the main body, so you can loosen all the screws."
"If you look closely at the tip of your finger, there is a metal pin stuck horizontally. You can remove the pin by tapping it from the side with a pointed needle or the like. Remove the pin, reset the fixture at the end of the wire, and combine the pin to secure it"
"After disassembling the bottom plate, if the plate with the PCD board is also disassembled, you can see the servo motor and wire. The pcb board has six cables connected to the servo motor, each with an id set, so disassemble it carefully in order."
"Without a factory jig base, it's a difficult task to do alone. It is recommended that two or more people work together."
For the moment I have not yet dared to start this repair. I already think the pins on the fingertips will be difficult to remove to free the cable.
The panel under the base looks very well glued. It will be difficult to remove without tearing it to get to the screws.
In short, a delicate operation.
For now I'm keeping this arm like this. In any case I think that even if you change the cable, it will still be fragile. Too much force on the cables. After all in the movie in the laboratory the arm does not move! ;-)
Now if you have had success on your end or if you have any information or a video showing the repair, I am obviously interested. Thanks.
