So yeah, do the Hong Kong versions come with the pins or not?

If this isn't answered by tomorrow, i'll let you know. I think the RK versions do because they advertised those pins on their site at one point in time.

Sucks..... I hate coming home to a brown slip "Sorry... we tried to deliver your package but since you are at work, its going back to the Post Office hahahahhaha"
 

 

Ha. Yeah. That earlier message was too good to be true. Ah well  

 

I wasn't even aware there were pins. Think the BBTS ones will have them?

 

So do they come with the pins?   Thanks.

Randy

 

I got mine at RK and didnt come with pins. I ordered them months ago. Same time chris did.

 

Mine from RK had no pins. Got it yesterday.

And I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but the QC is amazing! Hot Rod's joints are super-tight, and he's very solid. Kup is just amazing, and Scrapheap is better than I thought he'd be. Also no stressmarks on the shoulders. I put his axe in the first time and got no stressmarks on his hand. I then twisted the axe in his hand and it caused a minor stressmark. Fixed it right up with some boiling water, but be careful.

 

Nope, no pins 

 

ehi frienz Alfes2000 has put the autobot set galleries

really? you must have been extremely lucky then.

my friends and mine came with paint scratches, sticker damage and depressions all over the kup, hot rod, and scrap heap as well as uncut plastic kibble from the factory.

 

I have no issues with both sets.

Stolen. HAH! That's epic awesome typo, right there =)

 

I think it was the opposite, you were extremely unlucky. You are the only person on these boards that I've seen post something like this. Sorry to hear it as well.

 

omg... sorry   I correct it immediately  

 

That's a shitty buzz dude. Sorry to hear that. I was actually super-aware of the awesome QC of my set as I opened it and transformed each one. I even remember wondering if they were inspected one by one given how perfect all three were. I did get the Hong Kong version from RK, not the Japanese version. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.

 

Was there a pin with these sets? A Rodimus one for the Autobots and a Galvatron one for the Decepticons? I read here (http://www.allspark.com/content/view/8208/20/) that they were coming with them but mine did not. Just wondering if others got this pin.

 

They only came with the Japanese/e-Hobby versions, not the Hong Kong/Asian versions. Online retailers like BBTS, TFSource, and Robot Kingdom got the HK versions. This is a consistent thing with e-Hobby exclusives, as they're offered outside of Japan but do not come with the extras the Japanese ones do.

Thanks for clearing that up.
