TFs Q/C problems archive (already damaged in the packaging)

[Seraphim Prime]

Hey guys. I finally picked up my Jetfire that I had put on layby during the Target Toy Sale.

Unfortunately the instructions indicate that there's a little tab in the panel that becomes the combined modes big gun, which mine does not seem to have. I was wondering if this was the same for others.

I can't really return it, as no one has Jetfire anymore, but I have managed to wedge the gun around the axe so that it remains stable and effective as a canon. But I was hoping to see if my case was an isolated incident or a running change that didn't make it into the instructions.

I bought this G1 MOSC Dead End from a shop here in Adelaide


Main reason i bought it is because it is on a seald card but its missing its front wheel


Thought it would be rare so bought it
But its proof that there have been Q/C problems since the 80s early 90s
(sorry for the crappy pics took them ages ago with crap camera)

That reminds me of a G2 Breakdown toy I saw on ebay for ages about 2 years ago - it had a wheel missing as well, but was still sealed on it's card. The unfortunate thing was that it was a BotCon toy (less than 300 of them ever made), so it wasn't like it was a common toy in stores to swap it over for a replacement.

I thought this thread might be a good place to ask about a possible Q/C issue.

In any case, I am looking to get a Henkei Prowl. Could any owners of this figure help give me a consensus as to whether the Henkei actually avoids the bad door paint issue or if it still occours to some small degree?

Hasbro quality control (or lack thereof) on their packaging

(Sorry to steal your thunder DD, but I thought it's kinda funny and should be posted here)
