    Is this from tip to tip or just from head to toe. Like is it from the tip of Airbursts shoulder. He looks like from the head up there are a few more inches. Thanks for the answer

    Oh I actually did lol. Thats when it was confirmed I was banned because that email was disable within a week as well. Probably from my shipping address. Oh well I prefer to help the smaller stores anyway. Its just warbotron that is hard to get hold of. Hopefully CP get their stock in or something.

    I'm actually shocked to hear that this was the approach TFS took to resolve the issue. Yet another reason to avoid TF Source.

    Oh man, sorry to hear. :( 

    I had accidentally placed an in-stock MP figure into my stack and needed to contact TFS to have it removed. They were a$$holes about it for sure. But since that, no other bad customer service experience.

    I'm with you though, no biggie ya know. There are other retail outlets to purchase toys from. I'm maxed out in my stack so if TFS did something that, I would just tell them thanks and to say goodbye to all that money I was about to give them. Then peace out.

    A few days ago I mentioned that my heavy noisy has a few stress marks. Well, the more I mess with him, the more I'm discovering.

    He has a lot of stress marks. They're very sporadic, and they range in severity. None of them seem critical, but it still worries me. How can a figure with this tough of plastic have this many? Some of them like inside the hands I caused, but the rest were either there initially, or happened unintentionally.

    When I asked if there was a solution, fellow user Sentinel was very kind to point me to the hair dryer fix. As I read about it, people said success varied. Others suggested using a flame or boiling water.

    My problem, is that some of the stress marks are not reachable with boiling water unless I dunk the entire figure, or the flame would be dangerously close.

    I am not very experienced with 3P figures. In fact, heavy noisy is maybe my fourth one. To those who are much more experienced collectors, what options do I have? I am always careful when I handle figures, but maybe I wasn't careful enough. I like transforming him, but it looks like at this point I'll just have to keep him in one mode or the other, to avoid worsening the stres marks

    *Sorry for the essay

    Mine has mismatched pieces on the turret, Bbts customer service told me they would be receiving replacement parts hopefully soon. So wherever you got it from, shoot them an email, they may just replace the whole figure, or parts of it.

    Got mine last week and holy crap is he awesome. Those forearms scare me during transformation though. I have to almost disassemble them every time, but hopefully that will break in a bit.

    I think with HN it's about the little things that I find really wonderful. The transformation scheme is simple, but the way they engineered the feet and front of the calves to spin around is rather elegant in that simplicity.

    The extra leg panel and the heel extension to help balance him with the turret on his back were especially nice as well.

    Only visible complaint I've found really is the arm tread's attachment point hanging off the side of the tank, and it's only a very minor thing. They have a really good balance of aesthetic detailing on him pretty much everywhere that it can easily distract me from that little nitpick.

    Really like the scale so far too - tank and robot are pretty much dead-on the current Generations voyager figures with the tank almost exactly the same size as Blitzwing.

    I was considering asking for a replacement figure (mine's from BBTS too), but then I'm left wondering if I'll just get a copy with even worse issues.

    Damn, my Heavy Noisy is in my Pile at BBTS. Now I'm hoping it won't have any problems. Brawl is far and away my favorite Combaticon and HN looks to be highly impressive so I can't wait to get this guy in hand (but I'm stuck waiting on Kronos to ship my Loot, bah).

    I had zero issues with mine. Transformed it twice.

    As seems to be the common refrain when people start posting QC complaints; don't be tempted to lump your not in-hand figure in with those experiencing problems. I echo Desu in that mine is perfectly fine. Furthermore, of the two Warbo bots I've had the pleasure of owning thus far, I can happily report no issues whatsoever. For anyone who makes a number of 3P purchases in a given month- either purchasing from old favorites or trying out new companies- you must know how rare this is. :D

    Damn man, sorry make you nervous! I wouldn't let my QC issues worry you too much. Don't get me wrong, Noisy is a great figure! That's why I'm bummed out, because now I feel like I can't mess with him as much
