    All the Blurr's I've seen are a bit sloppy in the paintapps, but usually the scratches are minor, just random streaks of blue in places or some dirty marks around the top of the car. I can't help but think if they'd left the toy just a few tones of blue it would have avoided most of these issues. Anyway I'm keeping mine MISB until I decide if I buy the United version. I just wanted a Hasbro one people would want to buy from me should I decide to sell it.

    I'd do the same

    But would you open it and then return it, or return it still in package because you noticed through the bubble that it had a scratch? I have no qualms about the latter, but would never have even thought about returning something I'd already opened.

    Lack of TF love lately, and so was pretty happy to get this from the post yesterday!

    Thanks to Vector Prime for it.

    If I saw it had a scratch or other defect through the bubble, then I would return it without opening it. In fact, I study them first in the shop before I purchase to make sure I get the ones with the best paint apps and box. I've left toys behind that I really wanted just because it had noticeable defects. The looks I get from staff and other shoppers is quite funny because I literally pull everything off the shelf / pegs I do put them back though.

    There has been the odd occasion when these things are not noticeable through the bubble in which case I have already opened it and then went back for a refund.

    "I will not buy this record. It is scratched." (Monty Python)

    Scatch = defective. But anyway, I never ended up returning it so it's a moot point. Ironically my Drift came with too much paint apps (black smudges where they shouldn't be) - which I removed with rubbing alcohol (thanks to kup for that advice). So in my experience, with both versions of this mould I've had issues with paint apps. Then there's my experience with both versions of the Universe Hot Shot mould (Hot Shot and Dion)... I just have the BEST luck with Hasbro's toy quality don't I? (don't even mention Animated Blitzwing!!)
