Does he come out of the box in robot mode? If so I won't be overly bothered by the qc issues but in general I feel that takara need to think about a recall, especially if they start breaking on those wing hinges.
That clacking sound can only mean that the plastic is stressing.
Yeah, he comes packaged in 'bot mode -- Kurdt has a pic in the first post.
Since the wing part with the issue comes off the 'bot quite easily, I would hope Takara could supply replacement bits in the event of a breakage:

Some people are calling BS on the tfsource email due to some kind of similar shenanigans with MP Exhaust. They don't think there is actually a recall and that tfsource will attempt to check and fix them all before sending them back to customers. I checked my email and I don't have anything similar from RobotKingdom (I have previously emailed them regarding the issues). Does Takara have an official Facebook etc where they might make announcements?
Well, they want me to send it back for inspection, postage covered by them too. Good start!
I should have clarified. Some people don't believe there is actually recall, and that tfsource wants you to return it so they can fiddle with it themselves and then send it back.Quote:

I'll buy that one off of you if you can't get a replacement. I'm none too fussed about minor stuff like that s long as it doesn't affect transformation.Quote:
