I just opened MP Soundwave and Laserbeak. Everything looked great but horrified when one of Laserbeak's booster packs crumbled off. Has anyone else experienced that problem? I contacted BBTS hoping they will send a replacement part.

sorry that happened to you my friend, but i have not seen this issue, but the part is very tight so i could see it happening. BBTS will more than likely take care of that for you, but you may need to send in the broken one.

I'm very sorry to hear about your problem! My MP Soundwave arrived today and mine does not appear to have any issues. HOWEVER, my Laserbeak's joints are very very tight. I found this to be especially true with his boosters/weapons. I have only transformed him once and was very scared while doing so. The joints fought me and so I thought I was doing it wrong. I checked the instructions and several video reviews and realized the joints are just very stiff.
How exactly did they crumble off? Again, I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I'm sure BBTS will take care of you! I think everyone should take precaution when transforming this guy just to be safe.

On my Laserbeak one of the feet doesn't quite fit into place when in alt-mode, so it protrudes a little when it's supposed to be flat. Otherwise everything is fine

Skywarped told me that other forums are reporting breakage on that joint.

Yup, it was the hinge that disintegrated. Glad to report that mine was fine, though.
You'll also want to be careful with the tiny head camera, guys. Mine got slightly misaligned when I tried to flip it open--fortunately, I was able to fix it back in place.

Yep, I had a crack at it and the thing's tighter than the proverbial. Didn't force the issue, just in case

Thanks for the heads-up about this guys. I have mine sitting in my POL still so I haven't had a chance to get LB in hand yet. I'll remember this and use caution when transforming him when I do get him. He's going straight into bird mode and staying that way, I don't want to risk a broken toy for sure, especially not one that looks this good.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.
And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

This isn't quite Laserbeak related, I noticed that when Soundwave is in alt-mode, his chest door doesn't open as fast. It seems that the transformation causes some pressure to build around his chest which slows down the door, but when he is back in robot-mode it opens normally. Did anyone else notice this?

I noticed this as well. There have been a few times where his chest wouldn't open unless I hit the button with precision as opposed to how easily it opens in 'bot mode. I'm going to continue using caution as I play around with this guy and his minion.
