I didn’t even know there were issues. I opened mine last night.... really nice. Except for the play in the hip ratchets. But to be fair a little nit picky it’s an exceptional masterpiece.
From the isolated incidents on these forums there’s a 33% chance of getting a misassembled left shoulder that breaks the ratcheting mechanism when trying to transform the figure. I’ll get mine in 7 hours. Here’s hoping :/
Good luck. Those sound like suspiciously bad odds coming from TT to me but that’s just speculation on my part.
yeah I'm not one to hop up and down and start screaming how shitty TT is if I get 1 bad toy out of 100. Worst comes to worst I'll buy another one, and sell this one at a 100$ loss. No big deal. This is all dependent on mine being a bad copy. I also get Alpha and Beta That's pretty cool. I think I'm going to like them a lot.
The Dinobot issue is barely an issue. Just be cautious with the shoulder joints and the tight hinges for the tail parts and it should be fine. Look over the review thread. I believe the areas are addressed there. On Diaclone, I think the only repaint I'd want to see BB in is the hero colors. The Astro colors look good, but I'm not sure they work well for the build.
I think you just to tend to hear about problems more than good copies. If the flaws were one in three TT would recall them. I tend to think you’re right. Agreed. I understand shit happens though, it’s how the company handles issues when they come up that matters.
You do have to remember that we are basically a control group. What we receive, and the ratio of good to bad copies, does translate to the larger population of owners. Statistically we can be used to determine the total number of bad copies. So to hear 10 people have bad copies doesn’t translate to just a few. It does in deed spell a larger problem. Either way. I’m not so sure I want battle Buffalo in hero colors. I wouldn’t not buy it lol. But I want an I.M.S. or military green version. Those are so cool looking.
Any one have issues w big powered hip ratchet, mines stripped on the in/out of the left leg. Havnt said anything bc its stil tight but i opened it up and sure enough it was stripped. The lack of clicks is the only thing that warned me...
There's one on Mandarake right now for $200 or so. Mandarake Unless you mean the IMS version in which case nvm.
Had a chance to crack open the new Powered Suits and 1 pack of the Waruders. I should have opened another one. Lol. I do have a few extra Warudaroid sets if anyone is interested. Shoot me a PM. Edit: all the extras I currently have are claimed. I’ll be tracking down more for those who missed out.
Do you guys know or can see any way of using the old smaller power system containers with battle buffalo? So far I have only seen battle buffalo with the new larger containers... it would be great if we could use the old smaller ones. Can anybody see a way of using them?
Looks like the new containers come with double sided posts. Some connect to B.B on the bottom. Others connect container backs to each other. I’m thinking you could just attach an older container to the back of a new one and then plug the new on into B.B.
