I've decided to have a rant about the problems I have been having with the Marvel Figurine Collection by Eaglemoss. These problems have been going on for years and resulted in me pulling out of the collection because of the terrible customer service.

My replacement lenses were not suitable owing to an error arising from poor legibility of my new prescription from Boots. I contacted Select Specs primarily to obtain some backup for my complaint against Boots but was immediately offered a…
