    I wasn't referring to the mold marks. I thought the problem is the gap on one of the hinges (between the green hinge and the grey piece), which your copy also has. I'm pretty sure this is an assembly problem as there is a stress mark on the inside where the pin would be punched through on the green hinge. It also limits the range of motion on that hinge when used as the backpack in super robot mode.

    Maybe TFC comes back and says that's normal, but I don't really think so because it results in the two large missiles being offset by a few millimeters when placed side by side. And that stress mark on the inside of the hinge is probably the biggest issue I have with it, since there is the possibility of it breaking off.

    In super mode with the backpack on the shoulder articulation is pretty limited. It can't really rotate forward much. Just outward.

    I didn't get mine yet. Just hit California yesterday so I probably have another week. I'll look for it first thing when I get it

    Got it from Netclow a few days ago, can't wait! Can anyone recommend where to get these apparent KO's of Diaclone soldiers or mechs?

    Hinge issue? You mean the abdomen panel? It took me several tries too but I eventually managed to get it flush.

    I believe he's referring to the misaligned missile hinge issue I brought up a couple of days ago:
    [​IMG]

    So far 3 people, including me, have seen this on their copy. It could be a production run-wide issue. If that's the case I guess TFC probably won't be providing any fixes.

    I'm waiting to hear back from TFS-Express/TFC regarding this.
