Update: Dave from the RMC Store has contacted me (original email went to SPAM). So all good!
Okie Dokie,
I received my MiSTer Multisystem today in Australia and with Xmas and Covid the shipping time was reasonable (I am just glad i got it before xmas)

The little thank you card was a welcome touch
However there are 3 big issues with my shipment
1.) I only received 3 of the 4 standoffs
As you can see on the attached picture, only 3 of the white standoffs shipped with my order. While i am able to get away with 3 of them its not ideal.

2.) There was no back plate included either!
I am pretty sure one was meant to have been shipped with the order

3.) One of the brass screw mounts of Top Cover was faulty
Obviously bad luck must run in threes for me as the third issue was that the top right (looking down) screw post was filled with 3D print filament making it impossible for me to mount the last screw. I only picked this up when the brass mount fell out when i disassembled it for troubleshooting

It's currently in the middle of an update all but i'll test out one of the cores before bed time.

Overall, i am happy i have received it but the quality control with parts and case have left a sour taste in my mouth considering the price i paid for it. Right now i feel i am paying to be a beta tester for the unit rather than buying a finished product
As a comparison my other MiSTer Case (A Checkmate 1500 Mini) from Stephen Jones was a seamless experience.
Hopefully i can get the missing parts and a replacement top case. Will contact the RMCStore in the morning
