    Some small white bordered Decepticon symbol stickers over the tampos saves me $10. Looks the same from about a foot away....just saying. ;)

    I have two that I bought from the Wave 4 and Wave 5 releases that have the block. I was at Target earlier today and the Wave 5 revision wave have the corrected symbol.

    Just checked, both of the ones I bought don't have the crest. I'll just buy the crest version when I see it and return one of the non crest versions.

    Comparison pic using gallery from Seiberton and the image in the Allspark thread:

    Mine does not have the white paint in the crest, which means I am going to proclaim this is the "ULTRA RARE OMG" version. Anyone want to buy an ultra rare variant? $200? Get on this before they start KO'ing it!!

    Crap. I was looking at the wrong thing. Mine doesn't have the white triangle in the crest.

    Never would have noticed it if not for this thread, no big deal.

    Got my Dirge right here...yep, missing the white crest on wings and the chest tampos. Y'know, I originally thought something was wrong when I bought him, but I just ignored it as overall he looks good. I mean, they're STILL clearly Decepticon symbols, nobody can debate that. But, as also said, Reprolabels can fix this issue easily enough if I ever care enough (which I probably won't).

    Easily fixed with a blunted pin or the tip of a blunt knife and some white acrylic paint.

    Relieved to find that my Dirge has the correct markings. Now I just have to deal with his weirdly-painted eyes. :lol
