    Oh yeah, the inconsistency is driving him absolutely MENTAL!
    Anyway, I gave it another go this morning. Doused another cotton tip with rubbing alcohol and rubbed away - nothing. Then I took a make-up removal pad, put some rubbing alcohol on it, then put my finger nail behind it to scratch at the smudge. I had to give it a really good solid scratch, but the sucker FINALLY came off! Guh... that was one helluva stubborn smudge!

    As pointed out by Goktimus at the recent Parra Fair, my South American Gen1 AM Radio Bot (looks a little like Blaster) has two left fists.... while my Gari-Robo Kan (transforms into an iceblock - the chocolate version) has two right fists.

    Looks like QC problems have been spanning the generations of Transformers.

    Buying the red version of the South American Gen1 AM Radio Bot, I think the fists are randomly picked from an assembly line and attached to the toys, as my red one has a right and left hand, but on the wrong arms.

    But today, I got some Construct-Bots, and my Starscream has a half painted head...



    Looks like some post-apocalyptic punk look... with half a head shaved and coloured.

    Checking online, it looks like this is with all Starscreams, so is an odd factory error... as it doesn't seem to be intentional, because there is nothing mentioned to say it was meant to be like that.

    Should mention that one of my botcon seekers has a loose wing. Right at the part where it connects to the part that moves in transformation. If I don't tranform that wing right at the joint, it feels like it will pop out or snap.

    I just chalk it down to mold degradation.

    50% of the AoE toys that I've purchased this month have had QC issues.
    + Slug <--- dodgy elbow; exchanged toy
    + Scorn <--- no problems
    + Crosshairs <--- dodgy side panels; bought another one, refunded faulty one
    + Bumblebee <--- no problems
    + Evasion Optimus Prime <--- loose right elbow
    + Voyager Grimlock <--- no problems (other than being a crap toy )

    Thats almost TFA wave 1 frequency of QC issues.

    Ugh. Just opened the new Kreon wave and I accidentally got a extra Trypticon instead of a Mindwipe.
