    Except some had mispacked "two of the same" blasters *grumble grumble*
    Also adding my voice to the annoyed with TC's Should holes crowd. (everything else on mine was fine though)

    The Toy Gods are cruel - people wait and wait and bitch and whine for Thundercracker, and when they get him... he's busted :D

    I just got mine as well, and I have the same problem with the launchers not fitting correctly. Nothing a little Krazy glue couldn't fix. However, anyone have an issue with not getting missles for TC? Skywarp was perfect. Thundercracker had no missles at all.

    Some people were reporting looseness problems with them. I didn't have any of those type of problems with mine, but my first one was missing one of his wheels.

    Forgive me for ignorance/laziness, but at work so my internet is iffy and this is one of only a couple sites I can get to.

    How much is TC costing to get here(figure and shipping)?

    Try TFSource or Big Bad Toystore. Obviously it's about seven times more expensive than a regular American deluxe class.

    I hope fan2fan had the chance to ship my TC & SW.

    Just wanted to report that I received Thundercracker (x3) & Skywarp (x3) from Bodhar2000.

    [​IMG]

    *I plan on opening 1 of each (doing this again when I get a display) to see if there are any errors (maybe my nice charm will keep them away).

    It appears all the Thundercrackers have the shoulder hole problem. You might want to try masking tape inside the holes.

    Broke down and bought one from Tempting Toys. $59 + Shipping isn't too bad, specially compared to the botcon one. Just couldn't stand not havng 'cracker in my seeker line up.

    As to all the QC/mold degredation issues, my Acid storm was perfect, no problems at all. Here's hoping my TC is similar :D

    I'd like to get one of these, but the thought of knowingly spending nearly $80 on a defective product just doesn't sit well with me.

    no no, "Broke down and bought one from Tempting Toys. $59 + Shipping "
    see, 60 dollars on deffective product. 60, not 80 :D 

    Eh, it's worth the risk for me, the only two seekers i still don't have are TC and Thrust, and I really want my seekers :D

    Yeah, but I'd get him at BBTS, to use store credit! :) 

    I still haven't decided. I want one, but crap. Why did it have to be TC where the QC went south?

    You can sort of balance the launchers in his holes. I did that before I resorted to tape, but they fell out if I walked past my shelves.
