i just transformed my dotm voyager megatron to find that where his legs(hips?)close in together converting to the truck (the part that joints his legs to his body) has 2 left or 2 right sided parts;so one leg will not fully close in to form the truck side(plastic prevents it by being the wrong way around).i have checked the parts and they are not (simply) on the wrong side(i have had parts on the wrong side with hftd deluxe ironhide or missing in a sealed pack,recently)
it will be returned for a new one,i kept the receipt.
(1st pic to show the leg that will close/2nd pic to show the 2 same parts-near the screws)

My first Megatron had a missing pin where the grill was held on. I've returned it to TRU and hope it's free from manufacturing flaws when I open the new one.
Also, is Powerglide only supposed to have one weapon? The instructions seem to indicate it should have two.
EDIT: My new Megatron is fine. Also, I'm a numbnut; the second gun must have fallen out of the package as I was opening my Powerglide before I'd even noticed it. I did a search and lo it had gone between the couch cushions. All is well. :rolleyes:
From purchases yesterday - Deluxe Sideswipe's hood panel doesn't stay on at all, and the hinge pin behind Crankcase's head is sticking out, preventing the panel behind that from being able to swing forward past it.
His robot mode weapon splits to become two weapons for his vehicle mode.Quote:

Roadbuster (deluxe) had some sloppy paint but was otherwise fine.

also, the gears in barricades mechtech weapon don't really align very well, but it means the weapon stays deployed easily, you just click it into place.
Fixed Sideswipe by bending the bracket for the hood, so that it holds it now. Crankcase is fixable, so will do that when I get home (need pliers).
(also, the struts on the 4 wheels on Crankcase look very fragile, very breakable - so be careful, or have any young kids playing with it be careful)
New defect though - Leader Class Bumblebee... Left knee joint, the grey plastic containing the black ratcheting joint was completely broken in two places in packaging - on both sides of the ratchet. Got a replacement from Walmart, but looked very 'GPS' with its break.
(photo will be posted here later when I get to that one in my queue of travel pics)
