    I think the sample used for the photos at Hasbro Pulse just had its legs misasembled, resulting in a mis-matched cassette mode from both sides. As you can see in all the actual in-hand packaging photos, he looks normal in cassette mode, which means the photos at Hasbro Pulse are (thankfully) inaccurate to the final product.

    Since its open - the weapons - do they happen to have plastic stub paint/rubber covering on the peg hole stubs? I've noticed for a while now that these are varying on the amount on each stub from minimal to significant. Just curious.

    Hoping this picture works. In the Bumblebee Retro v1+2 releases, there was either paint or rubber around the parts for the cassette holes (see picture) bumblebee retro vol 3 - Bing images

    Looking to see if that design continued with the weapons in this line. They were not ever consistent in the amount they used per weapon & I went through 25 sets to find the matching amounts for 4 complete pairs between v1 & 2. Appearance consistencies are everything when you display as many of us know.

    Who else has already got this set and combined Noizu and Gurafi into Decibel and had him flop backwards cause Noizu’s neck joint is so loose? Mine started doing it the first time after a couple seconds! I really like this set, but is so annoying that Decibel cand stay up! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

    The fact that the cards are fused makes me think maybe they will fold over? Like stacking two carded figures. Might be able to store easy that way. Can anyone confirm this?

    Any update on these? Yesterday came and went and the only update I see is that they’re sold out. Has anyone got a shipping notice or anything?

    My card was charged this morning for this set. I expect a shipping notice by the end of the day!

    Let us hope the shipments arrive w/o complication & none of us need to try & seek damage replacements...cause a sold out item tends to not have them aye?

    Since these items are more than 19.99, if we try to return them because they are damaged, they'll tell you that you need to pay for shipping. That happened with my Legacy Green Ranger/Putty 2 pack - had really sloppy paint and black paint splotches on the shield. Really pissed me off so I won't be ordering from Pulse any more.
