Bruticus mold issues

[MV75]

I find the general concept of mold degradation annoying and somewhat unacceptable. Has anyone ever experienced the result of a degraded Lego mold? I haven't. They ditch the molds like clockwork after x presses and make new ones. I wish HasTak had the same discipline.

Yes, but this is where Lego are awesome, they replaced the parts only at my word, no fuss and very quickly. Total pros.

Sorry no quotes It was a bit hard to do on my phone.

Molds should be replaced especally current ones like the movie line but a generic Lego block is a bit different to a unique toy mold. With the older stuff I just see it as an oportunity to still get a new 'old' toy.

I agree the bruticus mold has seen better days (I also think the encore line in general is assembled/manufactured at a lower standard to some lines in the past) but to me it was a last (hopefully) opotunity to get the set original(ish) colors and worth doing beyond the mold I still don't see how the toy or box lack quality.

I think I did get a pretty good set, A few issues but not enough to ruin the toy. Onslaughts legs are a bit soft in detail but generally it is pretty good.

I have owned most of bruticus on and off since I was a kid but can't remeber having a whole set. Currently I still have a classic reissue brawl and a metal and plactic onslaught.

I understand both TF76 and Bruticus's positions. And I think it might come down to whether or not the acquirer has any other Bruticuses.

I do not. As a result, I'm quite smitten with this toy, because regardless of its problems, it's still a G1 Bruticus, which i generally consider to be an awesome toy.

Now, if I already had a G1 Bruticus, or an excellent/mint condition one at that, I would find this toy very disappointing.

But the fact remains, that for someone who doesn't have G1, to acquire a G1 for A$110 or under is wrought with difficulties, e.g. avoiding KOs, different opinions of quality, dealing with untrusted sellers, etc.

So, my opinion is that if you don't have a Bruticus, this is a great option. If you do have one already, and don't need spare parts, packaging or tech spec cards, I'd recommend seeing one in person before buying one.
