I just recieved my Generations Thundercracker from BBTS to find out that one of his landing gear/ chest vent pieces is missing....as in never was attached. Damn HASBRO and their QC issues!!!!! Just be on the look out guys! And I will send a nice notice to HASBRO to watch their QC issues especially since I haven't heard of any so far with this figure.

How much would it suck to pay inflated prices for a figure with QC issues and there not being much you can do about it? I mean, is it even the seller's responsibility? I know most businesses would fix the issue, but what about eBay and the like? They sold you a MOSC/MISB figure and that's what you received...are they on the hook for the manufacturer's mistake? I dunno, I can see both sides of the dispute. And how many messed up figures do you suppose a MISB collector has in their collection? I suppose it doesn't matter to them, though, as they'll never know.
I'm just glad none of my figs (so far) have been messed up when I ended up opening them a year or more later (repaints and such I was in no hurry to open and/or debated for a while whether to open.)

Yeah, but that landing gear, while up (does anybody ever actually put it down? I don't!) makes the fan/intakes of his chest (pecs?) look cartoon correct, and normal... if the toy was missing one, it would look a touch awkward having only one and not the other, IMHO.
To the OP: I would look into exchanging it, and if that was not possible, then I would just be happy with it. But you do have a right to be annoyed, regardless of how some people are giving you flak for it.

Well it will throw off the look of the toy in the chest area...totally understandable. Not to go crazy but I understand.

Last time I checked Classics Starscream and Skywarp didn't come with a landing gear and it didn't throw off the chest plate one bit, unless you mean those two back wheels, that look like fans, otherwise I can see the pain.
