Toys

You may recall my posting of a QC problem I had with the AutoScout toy. Where mine had two left back wheels, the one on the right does not close all the way. I just got WST blaster and that has a minor error. The left hand I believe is in backwards. It might be another case of having two left hands, I will have to double check. If it is, I will gladly swap hands with anyone with two lefties. Toy is really great, I like it a lot, the simple improvements they made to some of the joints really make it many times better! As with the autoscout error, I can live with the mix up without attempting to destroy the toy just to twist around parts. One word …

Just got my weekly online flyer from TRU and they've got RotF Deluxes on sale for $7.99 Not sure if this helps anyone, but wanted to let folks know just in case! -

I've been wanting a place to gush about Animated toys, so I'm starting a thread :P GUSH I have Starscream and Blackarachnia so far (just got BA tonight) and they're both super awesome! Blackarachnia has oodles of character out the wazoo, or is that "out the spinneret"? And Starscream is all seeker-tacular and stuff. I really really want Cyb. deluxe Prime (my son has him and I'm JEAROUS) and Grimlock.

I was wondering, do any of you guys buy the G1 knockoffs? I'm tempted to buy one but what bothers me is that its not made from Takara or Hasbro. I was told that people do buy it cause the knockoffs are better than the original.

Ive decided to start this thread as a QC awareness center of sorts. Basically all you do is tell us about the QC issues on your newest, favorite, or even least favorite figures. Hopefully the reports will help people become aware of the common issues that plague our figures. Also it is recommended you provide feedback to the reports, as to fill in some missing information such as "was it in the original mold?" and "do you share a similar defect?". Some common places of where to Expect QC problems. Gift Sets: I don't know if its just Hasbro/Takara trying to save money or what... but gift sets are almost always troubled with numerous QC issues compared to the origin…

I was thinking of getting some Classic Henkei figs.The problem is the Seekers left me not so sure about buying more.I bought Thundercracker and the guns wont stay in the arm holes.I bought Ramjet and damn leg wings wont stay on holes.....man I hate Henkei Seekers! Now Im thinkin of getting Jetfire.Does anyone have him?Issues? What about the cars?

Just bought a complete, boxed Convertors Omegatron, and last fall picked up the Guardian version. SO I spent about 2 hours digging through my storage locker trying to find the other variant of Omega not many people have seen before. (I am told there is 1 other variant out there, but it sounds like Omegatron with chrome parts thrown in for flavor) I used to consider this other KO version as the Guardian robot, but the official release is true to the character. It came in a box, much like the original MECHABOT 1, that says "COSMOS ROBOT" on the front. It's all in English. If I have more time later, I'll post picts of the boxes. Check em out. My sore back…

I was in tru the other day and they had a few perceptors left... but I couldn't decide if he was worth the 35$. Shame he wasnt on clearance like at some other locations. :( For the people that got the reissue, are you happy with the figures and was it worth the 35-40$ "with tax"?

Just wondering what marvel crossovers transformers that people actually like, and your favourite repaint

Anybody notice that Reprolabels' sticker set to turn Movie Ironhide into Trailbreaker appears to be gone? They have a similar set for Movie Stockade, but I wanted the one for IH bec. I'm using ROTF Ironhide, the gray one, as Trailbreaker. Arg. The current upgrade set for ROTF 'hide has some similar striping, but it's not the same.
