    How about mirrors that can easily come off? There is one YouTuber named Frans Sanjaya. About a few days ago the Jazz had arrived. But he was very dizzy about transformation. And at the end of the video shows the hands of jazz and mirrors that come loose. Sad

    I still have to transform it, because I received it yesterday but I'm out for the weekend, so I will probably trasform it on Monday.
    Anyway the robot mode is very solid, the problem with the paint is very hard to see and the articulations are very good. It's a solid figure in robot mode! When I'll transform it I'll tell tell how it is in alt mode.

    Here a couple of shots of the bot mode.
    The paint seems a lot worse in these photos than how it really is, in reality you can hardly see it.

    I have to admit, I gave up with the transformation. Too many inges have to be in the perfect position so that everything can tab in, the video I used probably doesn't show everything as it should be and in the end I couldn't set the rear window in the right position. Also the shoulder inges have to be rotate in the right position before you start transforming it, or you won't be able to put the arms inside the many tabs.
    I'll try again in the next days. Anyway, not a transformation I think I'll ever enjoy....

    For anyone who has the figure already, have you tried using polish to remove the paint defects? From pictures it's hard to tell if they're surface level and could be polished or if they're a deeper issue in the paint.

    Still waiting for mine to be dispatched, hopefully this week, then the 1-2 month wait factoring in postal delays.

    most of these are all sold out within one day in our local sellers in indonesia and i was unlucky, now all that left are those with higher prices, many of my friends reported QC issues, visor sticking to the head, thicker paint preventing parts to tab in, ultra tight joints, or even too loose

    you can look for "pasar toys" in tokopedia, the owner is actually a friend of mine, also check other reputable sellers like "toysgraphy", "ishopedia" and "hsn ol shop" but most are all sold out, and you may want to join "Transformers Figures Bootleg/KO/Third Party(TFB)" on fb, it's an indonesian group for unlicensed transformers discussion

    I’m pretty sure those paint chips and cracks are from user error, same as how you will have paint chips in this guy after you transform him. Kinda funny that’s being used to justify this guy’s out of the box QC errors.

    So he came today! Haven't transformed them yet cuz I don't have any time. Might attempt before I go to bed I do I will post some pics. 2 new shiny Bois to add to the autobois army. I really enjoy how sideswipe is a glossy silver and jazz is a metallic grey. It helps to tell them apart during the upcoming scenes and pictures I'm going to be making. 20200619_202330.jpg 20200619_202241.jpg 20200619_202147.jpg 20200619_202039.jpg

    my friend nearly broke the visor because it was sticking so hard to the head, and had to use exacto knife for some parts to tab in, our seller told us to transform him immediately and return him should something happened because he receive many complaints, don't get me wrong, this is a solid figure, the pain comes when transforming him, feels very different from earlier LS02 or LT01, you should try it yourself

    that being said, i will still get him if the price is good enough tho

    Ugh.. Mine is probably still another 3-4 weeks away and I'm not hyped at all with the issues on the figure + the nosedive in quality Black mamba have taken in general. At least it was only £30 I guess.

    Visor was stuck on mine but i pulled it out easy, bit of plastic whitening but nothing visible

    Car part on the thighs was scarily tight at first, I think it's gotten better

    And yea, the paint artifacts went away when I handled it
