    Damn. Will BBTS allow me to exchange it?

    You know, taking a better look at the pictures, it looks like the mushroom cap just broke and not the actual arm part. This actually is a pretty easy fix. Not sure if BBTS will help or not but pretty sure you can buy just the arm from MT direct if needed.

    Yeah, Maketoys has excellent customer service. Just contact them and I'm sure they'll help you if BBTS doesn't. However, BBTS will probably take care of you

    BBTS is great! They're going to send me a exchange. The only annoying thing is that I have to send the broken one back. What do they do with the broken figures that they receive?

    Probably use them for parts for other people with a case of the drops.

    For parts replacement, I believe. In any case, does it matter to you what they use it for?

    Sometimes they sell them on eBay. No really. I know because I asked that same question when they asked me to sent a broken part in for a different TF about a month ago. They'll sell defective stuff for cheap according to the rep I spoke to. I have yet to see anything from them on eBay though. They may also send the item back if it is in very bad condition to the manufacturer for credit.

    Via their website.
    There is a link to email them on there. I've used it previously.
    Or facebook of course.

    Does anyone else have issues with some of the faces not fitting right? I try to put the stoic face in him and it kind of pushes itself back off the tab.

    I received this bad boy today, which I purchased from our own FatedLazarus. I installed the KFC Soundblaster hands. I probably could have shaved just a bit more from the sockets, but they work ok. This is still my favorite of all the Megatron releases, so I'm quite happy.

    Dunno about regular Despotron, but there's a KO of the throne that came with Severo out there that should be good for Rioter Despotron.
