Yet one another collector's-edition-is-disappointing topic

Before I start: English is not my native language and I'm not good in writing on it, so sorry for possible mistakes. If you find one and if you want, you can say me how to write it correctly, I'll be glad.

Yes, again. I'm sure there were already a lot of them. I just want to complain somewhere on my own :D
It's not like "this is absolutely awful, take it back and return my money, immediately": in general, I like it, and I was lucky enough to receive my dwarven colossus in one piece. And I like Morrowind itself.
But some things are rather disappointing.

I believe dwemers would be absolutely dissatisfied with such quality of their colossus and may say about it rather... loudly. Fortunately they are gone!

So, legs are not broken, but one of it's sole (right word?) is not connected propeply:

Not painted place, and there are more than one:

Paint is damaged in many places (much more!):

This looks strange:

I won't say about size of map, although it was not what I expected, but quality again!
That's the map just taken from the box:

That's the worst places of maps from TESO Imperial edition and Skyrim (not collector's edition - disc, map and what else there was, without Alduin), that are already not new, were hanging on my wall all this time, and sometimes I take them off to use as a background for taking photos of different TES-related items. I mean, they were folded and unfolded quite many times.

They still looks much better!

What IS disappointing about sizes - that's it.

Maybe, someone can explain me, why two parts of one game, on one platform (PC), have cases of different size?!

And, also, was it so difficult to place something soft (don't know how this material is called even in my language) between front side of box and it's content? Maybe if there was something, there would be less bad places on statue, and I didn't have this:

Quite unpleasant view of most visible (if you have dozen cases in a row) part.

At least book is fine. Too rough end of ribbon scratched two pages a little and left light marks on nearby, but that's all, and book is really great.

P.S. To make this topic not so useless at least for me, maybe, someone will answer?
1. That hollow place in leg needs moonsugar to hide there or glue to fix it. Unless I'm not khajiit and don't have any moonsugar - which glue it's better to use? Never needed to fix such things before, none of my figurines were broken.
2. In some places it's a bit... sticky? What can be done with it?
3. I'm not able to repaint it, but at least I must do something for not getting paint be damaged worse. What can it be covered with?
4. About map. Does it exist in digital? It's very beautiful, but I'd like to have a map that I can place on wall and not be afraid that it will become a... something not good in year or two.

    It shouldn't be the case that I feel lucky to have received my collector's items in good condition. Certainly the last time I make a premium buy with ZOS.

    Well, as for me - my CE did rather a long way, so it truly needed a bit of luck. Worse than I wanted, better than I expected.

    But it was really worse than Imperial edition, both quality and packaging :(
