Make sure you assemble and transform the toy before applying stickers! But yeah, one foot of my Metroplex had a stress mark appear well after I'd assembled and 'road tested' my Metroplex. Even if I'd gotten mine locally, the thought of having to reapply all those stickers would dissuade me from getting an exchange... I used a black marker to cover up the stress mark, so now you can see a black line across the foot. Meh.![]()
