Mine finally arrived today. Very disappointed in the shipping container as it arrived damaged. Here is to hoping NTWRK will timely replace it.

 

I don’t think that’s very likely given comments on past customer service, but please do let us know. Mine hasn’t arrived yet and I will be curious.

 

I got mine from ntwrk, and it was loose inside the box, but also inside one of those brown Hasbro boxes that look like case boxes. So it was undamaged, thankfully

 

Not seeing any damage in regards to the blast effects on mine.

 

My noted issues: Buzzsaw left leg was warped, forced up under the wing - preventing transformation. J Balvintron's arms were split on the seems, with particles coming out (unfamiliar with particles ever being inside the arms of any release of the Soundwave G1 model since 1984 across the 20+ mold variations I do have) & the left arm/shoulder in particular is twisted 10 degrees off square, preventing it opening on the joint.

I could have also reported leg warping with Stripes - but its not as significant & likely to cause a negative response over "pickyness"

 

Mine has made it to the UK in one piece, the labels were stuck on a Hasbro brown box with the actual box on the inside.

After weeks of nothing, it was shipped and delivered very quickly.

 

Dumb

 

Hahaha! I love the googly eyes!

 

Double/triple check for defects. You don't wanna hit up NTWRK again later on to add more issues.

 

Update: Return Label received in e-mail for full return. Replacement/refund will be presented upon receipt at time of inventory status at their warehouse. For me was pretty easy. If anyone else wants more info on what I did PM me.

 

Got mine. Cracked it open to look at it. I have regrets. Oh well.

 

G1 Soundwave has been reissued so many times. So his mold must be deteriorating.

Last year, I bought Walmart reissue of Soundwave and noticed some qc issues. After several month, I got Takara's reissue of Soundwave which was manufactured earlier than Walmart reissue. Earlier reissue definitely has better quality than recent version.

 

Aside from crooked stickers which I easily readjusted, mine seemed fine, and I'm normally pretty picky.

 

Update: will be delivered tomorrow at their warehouse. There is a "quality check" to verify what was returned & then the replacement options should be presented.

 

Hey folks, new vid up if you fancy it.  

 

Upd: They received, evaluated & have shipped a replacement to me. I expect it Wed. Do not know other's experiences but, other than time delay, this has been pretty painless.

 

This is my favorite release of the year. Perfect Transformers experience.

 

UPD: Received the replacement - perfect shape. My experience with returns went well.

 

Just opened mine today and all is good but reassuring to hear I would have been covered!

 

Are these still shipping? I ordered one back in July and still have not received it.
