    This is true. It seems like both NA and MS QC have been a little sub par lately. I’m sure workers are slim with the pandemic plus both companies especially NA have been rushing products lately to beat competition while forgetting to make a quality product.

    From what I saw on YouTube comments the guy who made the video said that they were samples and not finished products.

    Is only Mixmaster going to be fixed? Or Scrapper as well? The legs are quite hollow too.

    Once again, no energon cubes for TaoBao sets. :(

    Scrapper too. Mixmaster was the bigger issue in the set so he gets the focus. I’m sure Scrapper’s legs will be easier to fix.

    I know we won’t get it but I honestly was hoping for wheel cover parts/ replacement arms too. The fact that the new legs for mixmaster have exposed wheels has me scratching my head

    Personally I could care less about the exposed wheels. I know it isn’t toon accurate but I find it to be such a minor detail.

    My set B shipped from ShowZ. Still waiting on my set A which according to the tracking has been sitting 20 minutes away from me for almost a month…

    Tho cheaper it's because of situations like this that I avoid Chinese retailers personally.

    That is absolutely not normal. Most of my packages from Show-Z have taken 2 weeks on average, and that's with free shipping option. I suggest you contact them to see what is up with the delay.

    I have spent hundreds of dollars and had many shipments from ShowZ over the years. This is the first and only time this has happened. Shipping company is ACI. The blame is entirely on them. ShowZ (Mike) has been very supportive and helpful trying to get my set A delivered.

    But yeah, between their Constructicons and Insecticons, I'll have way too many energon cubes by the time this set is finished.

    Looks much, much better. Still don't know why he can't have pinned openable hands though.

    I just purchased the two available sets and preordered the rest! Super excited for this. If all goes well, looks like I'll be moving from MP to Legends

    First sighting of an upcoming repaint, or is this old?
