    Was finally able to locate my camera. I have two picture sets - one of the misalignment & one of a second order. I have also seen Uruaz with loose legs & tight legs. These are both from the batch on the back of the box 81451 - V-2976B. I have also seen this same issue in batch 81501 that represents part of the actual SDCC sold product that weekend. For those with similar issues, Hasbro does still have inventory & you can try to get it resolved if you are patient & don't mind receiving replacements:

    Another difference spotted - in case this matters to perfectionists - the ports on the weapons, that insert in the cassettes - some have a plastic coating all the way up the shaft & others do not:

    Realised I didn't take a photo of the dinos together.

    Anyone find a way to get Uruaz's neck and tail apart to swap those combiner feet?

    They’re misassembled, the feet are swapped and consequently one of them doesn’t fold down all the way. Scroll up to Maz’s picture of the combined mode and you can see what I’m talking about.

    I rather they reissue these cassettes under the Encore series than to be release as repaint via this Retro 80s Bumblebee set.

    "They" who? Encore is a Takara line. These Studio Series sets are Hasbro releases.

    Not that I'm aware of. I thought you might have based on how he looked.

    These guys arrived today. There was a free Bumblebee figure included for some reason.
