Toy Review - JP Masterpiece Soundwave

[kup]

Another part of my laserbeak broke! Ugh!

On the other engine, the black hinge appears to have the pin inserted at an angle and it gradually deformed and split the 'loop' of the hinge as the piece turns. It eventually cracked opened requiring another extensive repair because someone thought it would be clever to use pins on thin, hard plastic.

After several fail attempts to fix it last night, I gave up and I was ready to write off my Laserbeak. Stubbornness will likely kick in and make me try again tonight but need to buy more super glue.

I can see that laserbeak is an awesome design with great engineering but why did they feel the need to use pins on thin plastic? Specially when huge amounts of friction would exist from the paint.

Too bad about Hasbro releasing all the tapes with Soundwave. I would have bough the Hasbro Laserbeak if sold separately. The thinner, softer plastic and likely lack of paint apps would have been a functional improvement.
