Second 2015 Club Subscription Toy is Nacelle

[griffin]

Talk about me being late to the party... and I was the one who posted the news here first about this toy being the second figure this year.

Looks like Gen2 Starscream will have the same problem, based on a sample that came out of Asia earlier in the year.

After having some experience with pin removal from toys at the Custom Classes at BotCon, I'm prepared to fix the wings myself if FunPub doesn't want to do anything on this one or Starscream later in the year when it ships.

Hmmm... interesting seeming my "fixed replacement" Nacelle is already in the mail

I finally got to the end of reading that TFW topic and saw your post there. I wonder why they are posting one out to you, but nothing was mentioned from any American getting one sent to them.

And yes... it makes you wonder what they are posting to you if all have this construction error.
Maybe they are indeed having someone fixing the toys themselves, and sending them out to people. (and I would guess that Americans would be asked to post theirs back, which would be cheaper for FunPub to cover the cost)

And if they are fixing them all, they are probably won't send out G2 Starscream until after all of them are fixed.

Maybe I'm the only one to just ask nicely instead of any attacking/blaming/etc....

Or maybe everyone is just too lazy....

This was the entirety of the communications needed...

Hi Krayt, you will need a new figure sent to you. We will not ask for your figure back since you are in Australia. We will get a good figure replacement to you. Thank you.

Hi Guys,

I've just received my NACELLE figure here in Australia, and it has been put together with both of the wing hinge backwards. This means that the wings can not be rotated the 180 degrees into robot mode as required. I'm wondering what we can do about this.

Thanks,

And i had only heard about the figure arriving, and tail fins Switched. Hadn't heard any reports of main wing issues. Maybe it is only half the batch or something that's wrong.

No one who got theirs on TFW have said that it wasn't assembled incorrectly, which I would have seen at least one if this was a random thing.

The disappointing thing is not seeing any mention of it from FunPub on the Club website, or their facebook page or twitter.

hmmm, that's a bit of a dampener on an otherwise good day.
Buuuut, in the grand scheme of things it could have been worse

Only logical conclusion is that FunPub gave the wrong assembly instructions to the whole factory. However Krayt got an factory worker who wasn't paying attention and misread those instructions.

The photo I sent to FunPub of my pair... with their BotCon 2007 Thrust at the bottom for comparison.



Now to see what they say to me.

Yep, just checked out my Nacelle as well. And they have put them on backwards , not only that the wing keeps falling off and the missile that pegs into the left arm is very loose and falls out as well.

I have a problem with my Nacelle, and left a message a couple of weeks back using the online form. Never had a reply. Does anyone know of a contact email I can try instead?
