I will admit it is some small parts, so I am not entirely surprised at the possibility of that happening. I suppose, at least, you had the option of re-installing the original wing joints, so it isn't as if you were left with a Starscream whose wings were snapped off. Is the cape still usable with the stock wing joints, or do the wings get in the way? I guess you still at least have the shoulder pads and the crown, but the cape is rather needed to help sell the look.
Anyway, I guess either I got lucky, or you were rather unlucky. Anyone else out there with this set? If so, how have your wing joints held out?
Finally, just for the heck of it... This thread needs at least one pic! I don't (currently) have any solo shots of Starscream in his gear, but here's a group shot:
A wonderfully anachronistic set-up, that picture. Starscream, in his coronation gear, but surrounded by Season One fellows... Including Megatron! And including a second Megatron for him to hold! Starscream better be careful, least Megatron start getting ideas that Starscream might want to replace him or something...

No, but you are giving me some ideas on making a little money...
Have you checked out Shapeways? I haven't looked myself, but I've heard they have a lot of stuff there...

Yeah I've checked, there's a kreon set but that's it, no doubt someone will eventually do a set on there.

A few days ago, I searched amazon, Ebay and other import sites for you. Think TFsource had it listed with a pic but it was sold out.
Here's a idea, How about create your own Coronation upgrade set. All you gotta do is find another toy with a kings crown. Find a super hero toy with a cloth or plastic cape. Maybe use some Gundam model parts to create shoulder armor and other stuff.

No null rays and only one custom hinge, not a bad deal considering!

But if you'd like to see my detailed thoughts on this set (along with a plethora of pictures) I just wrote a review for my website! You can find links to the review in this thread.
