Anyway I've been reading a lot about Finecast lately. In fact I ordered my first Finecast figure and will be picking it up tomorrow. So I will write down my first hand experiences with Finecast very soon.
There's no way to find out how many percent of the Finecast figures is actually considered trash. You usually only find horror stories and pictures about seriously bubbled and malformed casts. Here and there (check the Warseer link below) you can read about people claiming to have received a "perfect cast", yet without any pictures.
Another claim is that new releases have better quality. Then why do you read stories about people complaining about the new Necrons? The Warseer thread has a story about a guy going to a GW store to hand pick a blister without any errors, but no one in the store wanted to buy one of the eight blisters in store because they all had obvious defects.
The only real positive point I have read about is the GW Customer Service. They make absolutely no hassle about replacing the model, just shoot them an email or give them a call and they replace your model. So I decided to order my Finecast through the official GW online store....
Another thing is the liquid greenstuff, which does its job very well. But I wouldn't consider this to be a big positive point because of the bad marketing by GW (releasing it right after Finecast).
The most valuable resource is probably this thread on Warseer: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=298959. One of the guys there (Sgt John Keel) is now up to his fourth or fifth box of Sternguard Vetereans, and the same mistakes keep popping up.


Another resource is the research project they did at Wayland, where they claimed that 50% of all blisters had visible errors. I've looked for the link, but it seems to be gone?
And finally Mathieu Fontaine (Akaranseth) bought the new Necron Lord. He's up to his 6th replacement now, none of them any good. There are some horrible pictures: complete parts missing, bent weapons, large bits of mold material left on the figure, bubbles, ...
