    I actually didn't cry, but was still not very impressed

    I preordered this yonks ago . But for those you want that box minty fresh definitely go with BBTS.

    On the bright side, as someone who has never owned and barely ever played with a G1 Predaking THIS TOY KICKS BUTT!!!! I really hope whoever designed this won an award or something.

    The additional sword is definitely a needed addition, though once again it could have been bigger. (It is only an inch longer than Razorclaw's sword)

    I haven't noticed anything serious in the mold degradation department. All accessories peg in tightly and all swivel joints are reasonably tight. Only things I found a little loose are the combiner pegs, but this might be normal?

    Clearly they have learned nothing from the people they pissed off with the Slave I earlier in the year. I have 5 Star Wars 3.75 inch figures on order at Amazon. Surely they will put them in a box.... I hope.

    That might be mold degradation, my 2010 Takara reissue is tight. Is this reissue plastic or die-cast?

    Die cast. Could be mold degradation. He seemed a bit slouchy at the shoulders and the legs come off without much force at all.

    That could just be the sheer weight though ; I too have the 2010 Takara reissue (Went through the same levels of amazement & joy as yourself here ) and whilst my connections are tight, there is definite signs of a lot of weight being bared.

    That effort on Amazon's part though is absolutely deplorable , I'd seriously consider writing up a review on the site if only to let others know what to expect.
