Nice job Jay.

If I ever get any time I'll try to take some pics of mine. I think I got lucky but it has a few problems (different to yours)

I think it isn't perfect but it is not garbage either. l see more issues with my encore autobot tapes and minibots and the club seacons.

I expected it not to be perfect and was just happy to get it as a whole package.

I think I get annoyed about it because a lot of people were shi$$ng all over the toy befor they even got one. A lot more attention has been made towards it's flaws than any other encore I have noticed.

All my encores alt modes are 'wonky' all have different (usually more transparent) plastic, differences to the original. The list could go on, i just don't get why people hate this set so much.
