    Prob the lowest quality figure in my collection. Good representation of the character but the materials and build are lousy.

    I'm looking to buy Brawny and Backland,but I would like to get the quint journal too.
    Does anybody know where to get it?

    The reissues come with the bonus content from the Quint Journal
    Which was that Megatron cannon , alternate face, and maybe something else.

    Unless you want the actual Quint tube/canister?

    Pretty sure that thing is just cardboard. Since you get all the contents with the re-release, why bother?

    I received the 2017 reissues this week. Backland reissue arrived from clothing.2009 earlier this week while Brawny reissue arrived from Baba earlier today.

    Like @Pitt said you will get all the bonus accessories with the 2017 reissues. They will be packed in with the figure in their respective item boxes. Just no actual quint journal cannister. I don't even think the first run sets with the journal are even available anymore. You're better off getting the 2017 reissues because they are cheaper than the first runs have QC tweaks and improvements over the first runs + you automatically get the bonus parts. Most retailers have long sold out of the quint journal cannister by itself. If you must have the cannister with your Brawny and Backland, go buy the 2017 reissue and then pick up the quint journal from Robotoybase.com. THey appear to be the only retailer that still has the quint journal cannister alone in stock.

    I just got my Brawny reissue and I while I think he is one cool figure, I will never buy another bot from Badcube. Their build quality just sucks giant bull balls! I am going to have to take my dremel and carefully carve out some grooves so that the side flaps for his chest snap into place. I am glad I found him on ebay at a great price. Netclow is a great seller, but Brawny's overall quality leaves nothing to be desired. I'll not be transforming him at all. He will remain in bot mode for good.:mad: :horse: :thumbdown

    I got rid of mine, the more I messed with him the more I thought he was, to be frank, garbage.
    I really went off him in a big way, so hopefully 1 day someone else will take a shot at him in either g1 or idw incarnations.

    Was this the first run or the 2017 reissue? The front of the box should indicate if it from 2017.

    Nope. Reissue. Got it from Netclow on ebay sealed. It's done, but I would say he is still subpar at best.

    Done. Took just a few minutes

    My experience with BC suggests that tolerances can vary greatly. First Speedbump had a few loose parts. 2nd tight as a drum. The same for Backland. Getting replacement parts from them is an ordeal and then they sent me parts I never asked for too.

    Badcube doesn't exactly have the best after sale, direct-to-end-customer support. It is next to non-existent. You'll be lucky if they reply to your email. Dx9, while they have better built products, has non-existent communication with end-customers.
