Transformers Venting thread!

Just brought a replacement RtS Wreckgar as the handle bars on my old one snapped off. A fairly common occurance apparently.
First transformation and one handlebar has a strass fracture up the brown plastic and the other is beginning to crack

well i don't know if this should be a vent or a rare acquisition but just turned my new DoTM Soundwave from ALT mode to Robot mode and found that he has 2 left hands. AHHHH! damn you Soundwave!

It's a vent; rarities like this - generally speaking - aren't worth much because there isn't much of a demand for them. People will pay for a rare variant or something, but not for a freak defect. So somewhere out there is someone who owns a Soundwave with two right hands...

The first Generations Drift toy I bought had two of the same hand, so I know the frustration. I bought another one then refunded the defective one. But yeah, it's worse when it happens with a toy you got from overseas (unless you bought it from an online store that might be able to do an exchange for you?) <shrug> If you stick the big MechTech weapon on his right side hand then the spare left hand may not be as noticeable on display. It'd be hell annoying when you play with it though. Ouch. XO Otherwise maybe if you find another Soundwave get that one, then sell this defective one to recoup some of the cost?


^Double right-handed Drift.

Hehe, lol!

Thanks for the info Goki, i did buy it from an online store in Taiwan so i will have to get on to them and see if they can do the exchange. but like you said i set him up last night with the weapon in his right hand(the other left upside down hand) and the left one looks as per normal. it is frustrating as i was stoked that i got him for the rest of my DoTm collection and now he looks like he has twisted his wrist. plus the thumb being on the bottom of his hand looks out of place.but ah well, thats the way it goes.gotta love the fact that cancelling this line that the toys are just thrown together out of the parts that are left on the shelf.lol.

My TF frustration would have to be how flaming hard Titan Metroplex is to transform into city mode.

But a real annoyance piece for me would definitely have to be the pictures vs the real thing. First Edition OP picture shows alot of Chrome, real thing has alot more grey plastic to it.

Australia's amazingly low volume of good quality TF stuff. All the overseas premium we have to pay.

Finally the TF game the rise of the dark spark, please do not get me started on this!!!

^This 100%. Hasbro is worse than LEGO, who usually charge 1.5 times the USA price.... for TF stuff it's sometimes over double!

I quite enjoyed war for cybertron and thought fall of cybertron was even better. When this game popped up with hardly any preview press or information apart from the news it was a different developer and had half cybertron/half earth movie tie-in I knew straight away it was not going to be worth it... :/
