20831 and as you can see the yellowing on that one component is pronounced.

I'm two for two so far.

 

I really feel for those on here who have gotten a compromised copy. Hopefully you can return them & wait for a later release as it seems the newer batches have been mostly fine. Mine came in from Amazon today & 21331 is perfectly fine no yellowing, breaks or warping of plastic.

 

20521. No discoloration, but the back wheels won't hold the weight of the trailer and collapse

 

21011. Entertainment Earth. No issues whatsoever.

 

There's an easy fix. Boil some water. Dunk it. Let it cool while straightening it out. Look up 'Legacy Motormaster fix' on youtube. Vid by Kris Carter.

 

21831 I think. Box is a bit warped because I was away, it rained buckets, and my wife is slow to get the mail. Anyway no noticeable warping or discoloration.

 

20831. I have some. See the yellowing thread for more pics. I’ll just post this one here

 

I'll have to try this. Thanks!

 

Batch 20951 from Pulse...just dropped off today...no yellowing or bent plastic stuff that I have noticed.

 

21231 purchased in-store from Target on July 23. No discoloration observed as yet.

 

I got my mm from target barcode is 21131 the left leg left panel is discolored

 

20831 - No signs of discoloration

 

20831 from Target.com Discolored on the left underside of the trailer

 

21231, no yellowing at all but minor breaking on his left shoulder

 

20831, yellowing on a part of the underside of trailer where it becomes Menasors arm. 21231, near perfect QC except a slightly lose right shoulder joint.

 

21171 from BBTS,no yellowing thankfully,crossing my fingers it doesnt happen in the future.

I did have to bend the back trailer tires with hot water. Thanks for the tips for fix for that worked like a charm .

 

Mine is the same way. Plus the badge on his chest has a paint scuffing and thats bothering more than the yellowing

 

My forearm has a ratchet that’s stuck. Won’t bend open. Suggestions?

 

Disassemble it. That's what I did on my loose shoulder joint. It did require a tiny screw driver. Be careful of the small black ratchet parts that might fall out.

 

I tried. Wouldn’t pop apart. Added some dish soap to try and lube it. Finally figured I’d have to exchange it later on, got pissed off, and applied a LOT of force and figured what the hell. Looks like there was some plastic flashing on the inside joint I couldn’t see. It popped, sheared off, and now it works fine. Frustration for the win?
