    Well, do what 3p does. Call yourself Sargeant USA or Lieutenant Stars and Stripes. Possibly Colonel Patriot. :)

    Hmm okay... So in all this time the mistake was never noticed or it was just decided not to fix it.

    What happened to the improved QC you promised after Scoria?

    There will be far too many eager video reviewers and blogs to keep it hushed up. I hope it doesn't cause you or Fanstoys any backlash.

    Dude..I don't mean to sound like a whiteknight but why are you being an ass, the guy just said it was a mistake, just comply with him and burn it or at least don't take any photos of it!? No need to get snotty.

    Im not being an ass at all.

    After the issues with Scoria, Fans Toys admitted they had let their guard down and promised to improve QC for the next releases.

    I merely asked a simple question in a normal tone of voice.

    Have you been following the last few pages? Many people have made comments about how using the trademarked name "Dinobot" can impact us all wether it be intentional or not.

    While it's not QC in the usual sense, considering the potential ramifications of this mistake, it's arguably much worse.

    Remind me how much Artfeather fucked the scene over with Bumblebee. The poster boy and a much more 'sacred' character than Swoop.

    Imagine running a company and producing 3000 boxes (its a guess, I don't know the exact number) and realising a spelling error on them via computer/human error. Are you gonna write off the boxes, adding more delays to suppliers and consumers, or release them and explain the situation?

    I imagine they cost a lot..... and it took forever to get the boxes and packing in the factory done. Would you pay labourers to empty these boxes (risking scuffs scratches damage etc) and repack in new boxes adding more cost?

    I would print sticker corrections and put them over the mistake on the box. That's what Hasbro does.

    Seriously, people. The sky is not falling. The world will not end. The 3P scene will continue. If (and I think it's a big if) some of the American etailers receive C&D letters for this specific product, I suspect we'll still find ways to get these figures. It's not like Captured Prey and BBTS will destroy all their stock.
