If this is in the wrong section I apologise.

I got a finecast High Marshal Helbrecht for Christmas and it is a very good cast, all exceot for one thing. The sword. It's not terrible, but along one of the blade edges there are a few bubbles that make it all jagged, and it was a bit bent, which is very difficult to fix. So I am thinking, seeing as it is a relatively small flaw, buying the sword from a metal Helbrecht and using that instead, seeing as that is very unlikely to have any of the same flaws.

Only problem is, I have no idea where to get such a piece, especially seeing as metal Helbrechts are now OOP.
Can anyone help? Bear in mind I live in the UK.

Well, if it's just the blade that has the pitting and bubbles, could you not cut the blade off your Helbrecht and another power sword and glue it in place.

Also, if you contact GW, they should send you a replacement. Take a picture and email them at customer service.

This. For all their flaws GW have very good customer service.
Ring them up and describe the problem or email them and attach a picture and they should send you a replacement.
