Received mine today, it was double-tape but I'm not bothered by that at all. Strangely though I found myself with an extra collectible Ramjet card.:confused:

I wonder if this has anything to do with all the QC issue.

So I read that there has been a product recall on Ramjet due to the shoulder issue being so common. This info came from TFsource.

A lot of people are doubting TFSource and according to an email response from BBTS they're not aware of any recall:

We have contacted our suppliers and they are not aware of any recall from Takara. BBTS certainly has not been contacted directly by Takara about a recall on this figure or about any other subjects.

It appears a small, but still meaningful percentage of the Ramjet figures do have a quality control issue with the shoulder assembly. This issue prevents the arms from easily tabbing in place in jet mode. We recently made the internal decision to open each MP-11NR box and visually inspect the figure (without opening the plastic tray) to make sure the shoulder assemblies were correct. We then slid the unopened plastic tray carefully back into the box and re-sealed the boxes. Our full order is accounted for and we felt this quick inspection and re-taping of already double or triple taped boxes was reasonable so that our customers could receive a correctly assembled product.

Any order shipped on April 11th or later has been quality checked and should be assembled correctly. A relatively small number of orders shipped out before April 11th and some of those may have improperly assembled shoulders. We will gladly exchange any misassembled figures for a new figure that has been quality checked. We apologize for any inconvenience associated with this situation, and we will evaluate each situation on a case by case basis and come to a solution that you are satisfied with.

Thanks!

Joel

So the plot thickens!

That's weird... definitely would like to see the corroboration directly from BBTS though -- just to confirm whether there is a recall going on or not.

My Ramjet from PC has perfect shoulders, with the only problems being a bit of white paint scratch from transformation and the newly-found wing issue.

Is any news about RK or PC will exchange the assembled one to the correct one? I got them from PC and RK, but all shoulders ensembles. So bad luck.

Mine's from RK, single taped and was going to stay MISB til we knew if dirge or thrust were coming but decided to open partly to check QC and it's all good with the shoulder and wing, and I like him more than thought i would.

Mine came from RobotKingdom, was double taped and had bad shoulders. I have been in contact with them and waiting on their response to see what happens.

I purchased another one, this time from RK and in the remarks section, I specified to open and check for QC issues. So here's hoping the next one I get is flawless.:rolleyes:

Haven't received mine from PC yet. Anyone else still waiting? Thought they might be checking for QC issues before sending any more.

check the review thread. basically various QC issues. the main one affecting me is that the shoulder parts are on the wrong arms, which interferes in transforming to jet mode.

I recently got my MP Ramjet from PC, i've given him a good look over and he appears to be fault free, woo hoo! He is a fantastic MP, he looks brilliant in hand. Very pleased with this one :cool:

I've asked PC to open mine and check it in advance... Better to be safe than sorry.

Received my 2nd Ramjet from RK and it still had the cosmetic wing problem:mad::rolleyes:, shoulders are fine though and transforms normally but I now give up on trying to get a perfect one as the issue is just minor cosmetic.

I'm supposedly getting a 2nd one from Ehobbybaseshop. They now seem to be aware of the issue now but not holding my breathe for a 'fault free' 2nd Ramjet. It's a shame cos it's a nice figure. Love it.

Any word on what RK is doing? While the shoulders are fine on mine the lower half of his body is a floppy mess.

Nah I didn't email customer service for a replacement, I bought it outright from RK. I'm not going to bother with the minor cosmetic issue any more.

Anyone having trouble getting him to stand properly?
The toes and heels on mine are a bit loose and they just splay out till the thrusters touch the ground and he falls over.

And I'm still waiting on my pre-order from PC.
They tell me they've got 10 more orders to fill and the last batch was sent to them by sea so they still have no idea how long it'll take before I get mine, but I can opt for a refund if I'd like...

Unless they have specifically said When their supplier has shipped then I would assume it may not have taken place. It takes two months to receive my Thrust by boat, and my friend is still waiting on his from PC.

I took the gamble and bought my ramjet at $10 more than what PC offered and asked for a store credit. However the downfall was the shoulders on my Ramjet were backwards and is a mission to correct it. I displayed it on Bot mode and left it as that.
