Go I got my Pluto today and reading back through the forum, I think the new stock comes with replacement part for the thigh issue?

 

Also, anyone else who has this figure, did it come in a plastic clamshell packaging, like all other Planet X figures, or foam?
Just wondering cause mine came in foam.

 

Mine came in foam

 

Foam with Magnus, Megs, & Trip

 

Mine came with one replacement hip. Downside it came with 2 bad hips and I could only replace 1. I’m waiting on BBTS to send me another replacement piece

 

Damn, I wish I never sold Jupiter and Pluto! Pluto easy enough to get again but not Jupiter

 

Jupiter is getting a metallic paint reissue in the future which looks 10x better

 

But Jupiter’s paint was already metallic lol

 

I'm in the same boat. Sold Jupiter because he wasn't MP-scaled, but now I just want him for my Detolf full of Optimuses.

 

Yeah man, he’s the only one I don’t have now and it bothers me lol.

 

With all this talk about metallic paint, I'm thinking Pluto could use one. This is a fine figure. I love the flight version pictured here:

Planet-X Pluto (FOC MEGATRON)
As much as I like the TFP character models, I like WFC Megatron alt-mode better than TFP

 

I’d be interested in getting these parts for my Pluto, but I’ve already dealt with Planet X in the past and I dunno if it’s worth trying again. They’re somehow worse than companies that don’t respond..

 

They are slow.
Usually your vendor is the only one they talk to.

 

Yeah, they hardly even did that. I needed back spikes for Pluto and I think it was a year before TCP finally admitted Planet X was probably never going to actually follow through and mail them any parts..

 

You could always get another one from BBTS, then say the spikes were missing. Then Planet X will have to give them to you (through BBTS). Keep or sell the one you bought. In the end you are paying for the spikes though. Nature of the beast. At least he is more affordable on this run.

Those that ordered this within the past few months from BBTS- did you get replacement hips, and how many? I ordered one last week that came today, and in the shipping box (not in Pluto's) was a little baggie labeled "Pluto Replacement Joints" with just one joint. Normal?

 

Sometimes they tape replacement parts to the box. I remember getting my KFC Ditka that way.
My pluto is still in my stash.

 

I got one replacement part inside the BBTS box. When I opened the Pluto box, his left hip was already broken. It was easy swapping out the hip joint.

 

I had the same exact thing happen with my Pluto. I simply picked him up and the hip part fell out. Weird.

 

I've had a MISB Pluto for like a year now, because I've been too busy/lazy to open it. Oh boy do I feel like I'm screwed after reading this.
