I agree. I searched through 5 Sideways before I found an acceptable paint job. Also, rampage is almost all yellow and not much detail. GRRRR:mad:

When i picked up my Sideswipe today, i went through the entire display to find the best one, so i looked at around 10! None ones i left were what i'd call shitty. I saw one that had a minor scratch on the roof. The most common looking flaw was instead minor divots in the plastic, but I really had to be looking to find them.

Overall i'm happy with paint on both Leader Prime and Sideswipe. Leader Prime in particular, i was prepared to be disappointed with the 'non-premium' paint job, but what is painted looks great, with no blotches, smudges or overspray anywhere.

Hmmm wonder if were gonna be seeing in the future reissues a RED colored Sideswipe version like how they released a G1 Jazz colored one. I might hold off buying for now. Im more after (which I have now) the Scouts and Gravity bots actually.

Paint quality is about the same as the first movie... not very good.

I was amused that the Voyager Starscream I saw last night seemed to have smudged black markings on it, not a good sign.

hmm - dubious about sideswipe. He looks more like an x-men character to me.

I saw one with a brown stain on the roof as well. I went thorugh about 12 Sideswipes until I got one I was happy with, but after opening it there was a mark on the back which I couldn't see in the pack.

The thing that annoys me as that a lot of them I have seen have paint damage thats been caused by the twist ties whilst in package!:mad:
