Agreed absolutely. I was about to give up on the line at about this point. I'd looked forward to the toy so much but then with the crappy QC, i was about to throw in the towel. But thankfully I got my hands on Sentinel and Lugnut and a few others that helped me deal with it.

I think that's the problem though when they get ambitious with a toy it becomes more prone to quality control issues. A triple changer in the Voyager size has never been done as ambitious as this and I guess this is the reason for the QC problems. Much like Classic 2.0 Ironhide's alt mode suffers way too much because the mold is too ambitious. I think though we have to take it w/ a grain of salt because for everything they try and get wrong, you know they'll get better at later on. Kind of like Armada to Cybertron saw a massive improvement in the engineering of toys. So hopefully this screwed up triple changer means we'll get better ones along the line.

I also think that if we ever get a key character as a triple changer, we'll also get a better toy b/c it means Hasbro will have more money to invest in a key character rather than some periphery one which I wouldn't say Blitzwing is but he's certainly not among the big 7.
