They don't keep any of these parts in spare reserve. There's no way to effectively manage it, really. And while I've mostly had stores okay with returning defective product (or exchanging it), they are sometimes leery of doing that with collectibles, and there's no way of knowing which colossal you might get.
How hard is it to manage a couple thousand bases?
Someone sends Wizkids customer service a bad base, Wizkids customer service collects all the bases and on friday they open them up, check them out, stick new and good bases in a padded envelope and mail them out to the folks that had a problem.
I fail to see how this is such a logistical nightmare with no way to 'effectively manage it'.
I do not see how any competent business couldn't manage it.
In the past I sent a letter to Wizkids and they provided me with all of the paper elements that went with Foom. If they could do it then, why couldn't they do it now?
They manage a replacement figure system for C/U/R/SR figures, how is it so impossible for them to add bases for Galactus and Ziran to that?

Because back then it was under a different company. Also right now the Replacement program only replaces Rares and Super Rares.
I say they dump Rares from full sets and pick up Chases, Prize Support, and now these Colossals.

While the page on the WK site only says they replace rares and super rares, there have been people on this forum that have said WizKids replaced chases for them, though you might get a piece of the same rarity, if they don't have the exact piece available.
It's worth sending off an email to check.
Of all the possible 3x6 bad dial combinations possible, the testing dial is probably the least bad. The entire thing is laid out on Ziran's card, so you don't even really need the dial.
You'd also have the problem that the 3x6 bases/dials were not designed to be taken apart like most other bases WizKids makes.

I know that it was a different company.
How does that change whether or not it can be done?
I am responding to someone saying that there is no way to manage such a thing.
I am saying that such a thing can be done because Topps did it, and if Topps could do it, then NECA can do it.
And it won't take a seperate warehouse in Cincinnati to get it done.
If this has been asked before I apologize, search function turned up lots of 3d object threads but nothing about dials.
...
I was wondering if I could print out a dial, take apart the base, and replace the faulty dial with the correct one.
I understand the validity of the argument about it being legal or not, but has anyone answered the question of there being a means to print dials off and affix them to your fig. base? And if so where to find that tool?
