Came into a bit of money ion the form of a raise, and was thinking of celebrating with a new TF!!  I like Galaxy Convoy, but I have one, I was thinking of pickling up the HBS version of him, but I remember hearing about some kind of  factory problem with him.  Does anyone have him that could tell me what the problem was, or if it was fixed???

  If he's no good,  who should I buy??

You should buy his, he's fantastic. I haven't heard of any factory problem.... maybe they mean his guns can't go completely straight for his "flight mode" while in vehicle form :schin

 

 

Regardless, you should get him. I love him more than the super sized version.

I haven't ever heard of any problems with him either.

The factory problem was that his guns couldnt line up straight in flight mode, i think its actually on every one so far, but its not important enough for most people because this figure should be displayed in robot mode :P

 

Mines is actually stored in box.  :redface

I usually equate "factory problem" with some quality control issue.

 

The "gun in flight mode" thing is more of a design flaw.

Dude... get him. You won't be sorry!

I just remember hearing that the factorys incorrectly made the part which holds it in place, put somthing upside down or somesuch >_<

didnt takara release a statment telling people how to fix it?? or am i just getting somthing mixed up?

Hey Thanks everyone!! I'm totally gonna pick him up, thanks for the input:)

This gallery shows an easy fix for the guns. http://ooebi.sakura.ne.jp/toys/TF/GF/THS01/THS01.htm

 

Simply open that part up and remove the spring.
