    Mine just came in with one of the ankle tilts not functioning because of the construction of it

    No way. The Parts count is too high. He wouldn't have had the shield for sure, there would have been less paint apps. Sure Jetfire is bigger, but SS is more intricate. You also forgot to mention the big painted flight stand something the TF line has never had at retail (with the one exception of SS TFM2 Soundwave).

    Yikes, the hinge on mine is quite tight too - I think I'll stay away from Transforming Leo for now

    Old and new Victory Leo, glad to have him - but I don't think I'll be handling him too much

    It might loosen up if you apply a little dish soap.

    Just messed around with Victory Saber for the last 2 hours. Everything is perfect. No mixed up parts, loose joints, or messed up chrome. There is a little blue paint spot on the shield’s white section but it is pretty much unnoticeable since it is along the edge. A heads up with the ab crunch on Star Saber. It is a soft ratchet and it has two clicks. You can go farther which pops out the plastic ratchet part though. It seems sturdy but if you are worried it might break don’t go past the second click.

    Also if anyone finds a good frame that fits the poster let me know. The dimensions are really weird and wished they went with a conventional size for it so framing is easier.

    There were over 25k made. Some of the complaints are about minor paint chips on the edges. The parts breaking or incorrectly made are a much smaller percentage. Maybe it is because I suffer from ocd and have trained myself to not nitpick, but minor blemishes don't bother me anymore.

    Seeing all this QC stuff really worries me about Deathsaurus.
    Was Unicron plagued by these issues?

    Same here tbh

    I wanna say he did, ik there was the whole thing about the maw being unpainted & I think the tabs on the faces breaking due to them being made of clear plastic iirc. I'm sure there was more, but I didn't really pay attention to the Unicron thread since I didn't back it.

    I have no idea how many have issues. Like I said, if its 1%, that's 25k that should be fine though given the limited sample on this board it seems much higher. The best outcome would be for people to post their issues and contact hasbro and then maybe it puts pressure on them to do a better job with DZ. Yeah I know its a pipe dream, but its worth a try. They do say they read the message boards.

    Received mine today in NC. Was shipped Wednesday the 7th. Pretty quick delivery. Only 30 more minutes of work and I can tear into it

    Agreed. I do hope they listen & do a better job with Deathsaurus. Cus if they don't I can already see him being even worse off with scratches due to the amount of chromed out bits on him compared to Star Saber & Victory Leo combined.

    I unfortunately am waiting until Christmas.
