    Yeah no I watched the review, he did NOT address it whatsoever. I figured since the replacements are out and the second edition will be fixed that he just didn't feel it necessary to mention? But I was still kinda surprised he didn't bring it up

    I put a comment on the video myself explaining the 1st and 2nd run thing so hopefully people see that. He absolutely did not address that in the review and it’s a bit irritating that he didn’t.

    On one hand I can see why he didn't mention it, since the replacement parts and the second batch won't have the plastic issues and that's probably what many people are getting.

    On the other hand it would have been nice if he mentioned it so that if people don't look in the comments or see other peoples videos then they'd know there would be a solution if they got theirs from stores that still had the first batch with cracking problems.

    Pretty sure I saw a crack on the hood so that would make it 1st edition.

    Definite cracks at the white joints on top of the cab robot chest and a hairline crack on the right side of the super mode chest, I think.

    I think he had a first run copy as the second run isn't out yet.

    Didn't Emgo say on Facebook or something a while ago that his first run copy broke? I would bet that he probably got replacement parts in and that's why he reviewed it now.

    He ain't got a Facebook but I'll scrub Twitter rq just to verify, cause if that's the case then him leaving out the warning makes even less sense.

    EDIT: Just checked and yeah, so far the only thing similar was the hips on his Devil Saviour Compressor broke but I couldn't find anything about FH Prime

    Okay so im not crazy. I wasnt even concerned with the fact that he didnt mention it, just thqt when asked, you dont answer my simple question. Like not even a time stamp. Bruh, i dont have time to sit and watch a 50 minute video. The videos I put out are long and not edited but any question someone has even if I covered it, I answer it, I don't tell you I covered it then leave you to go digging through 50 minutes of footage.

    I was also very very surprised to see that Emgo did not even mention the cracks when they are so obvious in his video. I know there are some replacement parts, but I have always watched him for his honesty and that was kind of a letdown.

    Bugged me when he was talking about the super mode chest and he's saying it can be bent back "with no ill effect" on the side that does not appear to have a hairline crack at the joint.
