    Its the pack that contain Ramble, Frenzy, Overkill and Lazerbeak.

    My question is, Ramble, Frenzy and Overkill no longer have stickers, their detail are painted but Lazerbeak still has stickers with nothing painted.

    Is that normal or the seller opened it and put a fake Lazerbeak?

    Generally speaking, there haven't been any reissues with tampographs instead of stickers where the original sticker was shiny foil. Take for example the encore reissue of Skywarp and Thundercracker. TC's wings get tampographed stripes, but Skywarp's wings keep the foil stickers of the original release...

    Yeah, mine was the same way and I thought it was odd too. No love for Laserbreak.

    Does the Laserbeak mold have more obvious screws/holes which are covered up by stickers? (don't wanna peel 'em off to find out). That might be a factor right there.

    Yeah, the stickers hide the screws on that hold the wing hinges together.
