Weren't most of the Bumblebees we got here were the non-breaking ones? I thought the breakable ones were from an early production run, most of which were distributed in the US, thus most of the ones we got here from from subsequent production runs where Hasbro addressed the QA problem. I've never had any problem with my 70s Bumblebee nor has anyone else I know of outside of North America. <shrug>
