    I bought all three from Baba last year and each one was missing 3-5 small pieces. Baba got me all the missing parts in less than 3 weeks. I don't know if he opened more stock or if TFC actually supplied him with parts.

    I am seriously considering getting this set from TF-Express. Have anyone that ordered from this site have any problems getting replacement parts? I am hoping that there will not be any missing pieces, but if there were, I hope to get it resolved without any complications if I ordered from TFexp.

    It's not that complicated.

    I can confirm all of the above, lol. I think the front half of the red car broke. It doesn't affect combined or alt mode at least. Also, the yellow car came with double lights for one side of the car. I remember saying a lot of bad words when I got Blacker and was combining them...but not nearly as many as I said with TFC Liokaiser. It looks great with my other Victory bots but not without major frustration.

    It's not that complicated... I am an amateur and I transform all of them without any major problem.

    The legs are the "worst" part that's all.

    So, I opened the set and I'm fiddling with Raging Bull. Going from car mode to leg mode wasn't too hard, the infamous armatures didn't give me too much of a problem, but...any hints on how to pull out the combiner port? It requires so much force I'm scared to break everything.

    Edit: I managed to do it using a screwdriver as leverage. Damn if it wasn't scary. Luckily after the first time it isn't so tight anymore. Now I have to do the same thing for Red Knight...

    Edit2: luckily Red Knight wasn't anywhere as hard. I managed to pull out the port with only my hand on the first try. I hope there aren't go I g to be any other scary moments with these guys.

    Just got this set in today and I think I am missing a bio card for Wildhunter. Redknight and Raging Bull both came with their respective bio cards. Can anyone confirm that they got a bio card with Wildhunter.

    My Wildhunter came with a card.

    About the set, I'm satisfied. It's not perfect by any means, the transformation of the leg bots isn't ideal (although not so bad that I'm not willing to transform them ever again), some tabs don't peg as securely as they should, some joints are a bit too loose in combined mode, but in the end is a nice representation of Road Caesar.

    Did you get instructions? My instructions came outside of Wildhunter's box, and the card was in that baggie.

    Hrm. My Blacker/Wildhunter doesn't seem to have his headlights, unless they're hidden somewhere clever in the packaging, or shipped with one of the two guys I haven't opened yet.

    Is there no way for Blacker's Brainmaster to ride in the car mode? I can't figure out any way that's possible, but it seems like a bizarre omission in the design if so. :(

    Yes there it is, but you have to untransform Wild Hunter a bit to make the brain master to fit in. It's a very tight fit but it is possible.

    Missing headlamp pieces were pretty common with this set, contact your seller for help.

    How? I can get the canopy open, but I've yet to come across any arrangement of pieces that lets it shut with him in there... including holding the figure upside down so that the Brainmaster can just be rattling around loose under the canopy someplace.

    Anyone know how to attempt that through TaoBao?

    Igear's Ironhide, that's the transformation scheme these guys remind me of.

    Yeah. Wasn't a big fan of the "flying panel on stick with balljoint" engineering trick. It got the job done, but not in any kind of way that made transformation satisfying.

    It's hard to explain but I have managed to put him in there... Either way, it doesn't look like the mini guy is driving the car hehe...

    Those should be screw covers for the combined mode silver torso piece.

    Yea got instructions but no card. Tried to bend the instructions to see if the card might have bee placed inside but no luck. I ordered from TFSExpress. I emailed them about it and they responded that they will contact the manufacturer about it. A few weeks go by but no answer, so I emailed them again and they responded the same. I'm beginning to think that they just don't want to assist me.
