Walked into Wal*Mart the other day and thought I got the score of, well maybe not a lifetime but at least the month. I was able to snag Universe Galvatron, Acid Storm, and Animated Soundwave, w00t w00t right? Good score I'm thinking, even passed on Cobra BATs & Snow Serpents to get em. I'm happy the whole way home, and the 1/2 hour drive was killing me not being able to open them. I finally get to the house, open them up, and THEY.ARE.COMPLETE.CRAP!
Galvatron is an awesome mold with a great transformation, but the cheap plastic that they're using now ain't worth a crap. His legs keep falling off... at the knees AND the hips, I'm afraid to touch him every time I do he falls apart. He's an effing parts-former!
I thought Acid Storm would be cool because he was just a repaint of Classics Starscream, but again they used that cheap rubbery plastic on him and his nosecone won't stay snapped into place in jet mode. grrrrr
Soundwave however is totally awesome, so it wasn't all bad. I still like the way the other 2 look but it upsets me that they have such QC issues.

Sig pics should be no larger than 300 pixels in height and 500 pixels wide.

Collection Count: many... | People we get it hasbro did a crapy job with quality control. thats why you look at the firgure before you buy him. Always check it. When i didn't check i got stuck with a bad prowl but that was my fault because i forgot to check the paint aps. And you can see if the plastic is good by looking too.
Volkswagen is not a brand name.... Its a LIFESTYLE
