I just order mine and I was just wondering why there is no bat symbol on the base in the pictures?

There is a bat symbol however, it is difficult to see because it is black. It is still an excellent piece!

There is a bat symbol, it's just dark like the base which makes it hard to see. You're going to love yours... it's awesome! g-

There is a bat symbol on the base, but it is in a slightly different shade of gray which is hard to see but is there.

It's an older sculpt and Kotobukiya focused more on the piece, which made the base an after thought. I display mine with the kotobukiya superman which has a nice base. Either way in the 2 years I've owned this piece I always appreciate how well done the sculpt is done. I love it and if you buy it I'm sure you won't regret it. I also display it without the base, stands up fine.

I believe the real issue is damage to the bat. I have my sons use old bats (alluminum and wood) so they don't damage the newer composite bats that I purchased for them.

Hi, it is actually a plastic base and that is a Rawlings sticker. My gloves did not come with a plate to send in for engraving that I am aware of. plus I don't think it would look very good on the plastic base.

It's a good sized box (23 in high x 11-1/2 wide and 4 " deep) but fairly light weight. There's no real assembly, the baseballs sit on the base, the red pole that holds the baseball for hitting, goes in the center hole. I suspect the bat has a place on the stand too, but I could never figure out where, so it's just leaning against whatever is nearby. I would have Amazon ship it directly to your other place...if you need it gift wrapped, they do that as well. Usually I'm shipping to someone that I'm comfortable asking someone else in the house, besides the person getting the gift, to wrap it when it comes!

I really don't know why they advertised it that way. My son used it with an aluminum bat and it worked just fine. The only thing we can think of is if you would hit the post with either bat you could damage the bat.

That's a question for the manufacturers of this product. As a customer, I would say it's the fact of how the bat house is constructed and materials used to build it. Considering it has the approval of the OBC, that's a good indication of the quality to which the house is built.

Hello John, I would love to answer that question for you, but to be totally honoest with you it is still in the box, and never been opened! I purchased it for my grandsonbut haven't let him play with it yet because I'm waiting for him to visit me again. I use to see him on a regular bases, and then he moved 9hrs away from me. So I get to see him once or twice a year now. Sorry, but thanks for asking anyway!

We did not paint the box for fear the paint would deter the bats. No bats yet, but hoping for some soon.

You don't need a special bat, but I would be recommend it. However, I do not recommend the machine. The concept is great, but the quality on the machine I purchased was extremely poor. Try a JUGS machine (Small-Ball® Pitching Machine). Lots more money, but I bet it's worth it. I don't own that machine though.

Mine looked nothing like the pictures and I got mine from onestop. Mine was spray painted white blu ray logo. The plastic was not indented at all so if I took off the white blu ray logo there would be nothing there.

Check your league website. They usually have a listing of approved bats. This bat was legal last year.

I'm looking at mine, and it doesn't. An nvidia logo? That's odd! Maybe they got it from nvidia (or from people who got it from nvidia... anyways!)

Louisville Slugger provides a one year warranty. The warranty card would have been in the wrapper when the bat was purchased. If you have the receipt, you will have no issues returning it. We had to send one back last year and they were very easy to work with. They actually sent us a brand new bat in the newer model as a replacement. Look on the LS website and there is a link for returns. It will give you a toll free number to call for a return authorization code, and specific direction on sending it to them.

If there are no images of the actual box on the item listing, you'll have to go by the description. The only difference between the Japanese and US version are a sticker of the "Megaman X" logo stuck overtop of the "Rockman X" logo. All other text (the only other text is in the instruction sheet) is in Japanese. This was changed with later figures in the series, where the actual box itself would have the English printed right on it.That's about all I can tell you, sorry.
