It's happened over on Allspark too:

The missing paint makes the altmode look horrendous. That brown is just ugly. :SICK:

Now I've got no choice but to hunt down the overpriced Takara version to guarantee a properly-painted version. >:oP

Also, why isn't this news? I would think a lot of people who are still looking for FE Voyager Optimus would like to know what they might be getting into.

BBTS has updated Prime's product page with the following:

NOTE - Apparently Hasbro has changed the colors around the cab area to brown - which cannot be seen in robot mode, in which it is packaged.

I can now confirm the problems with Bulkhead's arm. The damn thing falls off any time you actually touch it. It has the same stress mark post shown in pics from others that have been in circulation for awhile now.

Detracts from an otherwise great figure.

My FE Bulkhead doesn't have the widespread QC problems with his arms. And I did pick it up from retail three days ago. Maybe I was just one of the lucky ones? :-?

Mine sat in my POL til last week or so, then I wrapped him up and put him under my tree so I would have something to unwrap this morning (it's lame, but I live alone :lol: ) So mine was an early shipment I would imagine. I may go to TRU then and see about getting one there. If only as an experiment.

I have noticed quite a few stress marks so far. The pins that swivel the wrists in and out have both caused stress marks on the forearms. His heel pieces both have stress marks on the green feet. And those chest tabs for the hood pieces are showing marks thru to his front.

Still love him though.

I got mine from the first BBTS shipment, too, but the arm's only come off once. It only happens for mine if you twist it around enough. I've learned to correct it as I play, it's almost second nature now.

the FE Prime I got from BBTS had a misplaced pin that messed with the truck mode, returned that one and picked another Prime and a Bulkhead. Thinking about keeping Bulkhead MIB since I have the Takara version already
