Transformers Venting thread!

As those who follow me on Twitter already know, a little while ago I opened my Hasbro MP Rodimus for the 1st time after owning him for nigh 8-9 months.
Knowing that one needs to treat this figure like it's constructed of Japanese Rice Paper, I withdrew it from the plastic packaging material oh so delicately...

I was then presented with a figure whose arm had snapped at the left shoulder's ratcheting shaft, rendering the figure more or less FUBAR right out of the box.
Thanks greatly to some retailing craftiness on the part of 1AZRAEL1, I've been lucky enough to have this issue rectified with a complete replacement figure - Now I really enjoy him.

It is really pleasing to know that the Chief Engineer behind the MP line in it's current state IS NOT the same one who executed this great looking but horribly flawed figure in MP-09 Masterpiece Rodimus, be wary guys of this figure and also Note: If intending to open a figure, do so within a month of the initial purchase - It'll make life a lot easier.

I'm not on Twitter, but I heard the story from 1AZRAEL1 over our last TF Monopoly game.

lol, I usually open a figure as soon as I get home! Almost all of my Transformers are purchased MISB/MOSC, but they only remain sealed for a few seconds after I get 'em home. Sometimes not... sometimes I just open them before I get home cos I can't wait! Many of my G1 toys were opened in shopping centres while waiting for my mum to finish the rest of her shopping... and I remember opening BW Depth Charge while standing in some queue for something at uni. Then there was United Grapple which I opened on the way to the airport (and got to play with him in flight )

Was it a first or second edition? I'm assuming first. But good to hear about the positive outcome
