Takara Grimlock and Classics Sunstreaker

Yeah I totally agree with you Kup on stores refusing to place Animated Figures on shelves while the Movie/Allspark stuff clogs up space. Maybe their buyers fell for Hasbro's marketing spin regarding all the hoopla the movie would generate in sales & bought up big from Hasbro. Now the majors are stuck with all these Movie/Allspark figures/merchandise that even sales can't help move...

It did generate a lot of hoopla but Hasbro mismanaged it completly.

The first few waves of movie figures and first release of each movie mold was pretty successful and that includes non movie molds such as Swindle.

What is taking a lot of shelf space is the stuff nobody wanted such as senseless repaints, Cybertron repaints and other junk that for some reason Hasbro thought it would sell as good just because of the movie name attached.

Now this is costing them dearly (at least when it comes to Sydney) as it seems that nobody wants to restock on their newer and more expensively to develop toys until the movie remnants that are filled with stupid repaints.

What they should have done is either quit on the movie line while they were ahead or produced new molds if they were wanting the movie line to last this long.

Back on topic... (see here for the other discussion)

I sometimes have the same problem with my Sunstreaker and have just used a bit of extra force on occasion to get it a bit more straight -- but that's not really a fix.

If u still have a receipt that's an option. If not you can buy another one and then replace it with ur fudged one and ur completely in the right b/c the fault wasn't evident when u bought it. I've since improved my Prowl who has now better paint apps... just.
