If, by this, you're referring to the subscription figures, that was due to the manufacturer thinking those were meant to be an additional BotCon project instead of coming out sooner, and so the Club kept pestering them about it, but it didn't click with the manufacturer until it was too late. Thus, we're stuck with Scourge coming just before BotCon, and the rest coming after.datguy86 wrote:Now as for lateness - yeah, that's a FunPub scheduling issue.

Tons of people checked their Hoists and Electrons at the con and approached the Club about it. They said that they could not fix the problems at the con due to the issues being on such a wide scale. Thus, they posted this how-to-fix-it guide on Twitter instead.Flux Convoy wrote:If you aren't checking your figures at the con to exchange any QC issues, that's on you.

@fluxconvoy - It is always the company's responsibility to ensure quality. Imagine driving off a lot with a brand new car only to find out later the vehicle has a fatal flaw in its brake system which will randomly appear in the future. Whose fault is that? The customer for not checking? Or the company for skipping QC?
It's one thing of the customer is armed with knowledge of the defect. It's another if knowledge comes after. Regardless, it's still the company's responsibility to provide a working product.

I was addressing the poster before me. I was there, I checked my figures. I'm fully aware of the issue and why the info was posted. I fixed Hoist and Electron days ago. Just have to make time to fix the shoulders on Hoist.datguy86 wrote:Better yet, have a more flexible timetable for the figures which allows enough leeway for the factory to send a random sampling to TFCC so TFCC can QC and tell the factory to check X figure for problems.

You're comparing apples and oranges to the nth degree. It is the responsibility of the factory to ensure quality. Do you truly believe the handful of people that comprise Fun Publications have the time or manpower to hand check thousands upon thousands of toys? If so, you expect far too much.

Each year I have to exchange a figure or more. I couldn't possibly care less about it. Check your stuff, get it sorted or fix it yourself. There are so many bigger things to waste that much energy on. Having said that, I'm done. Derailing for the sake of arguing isn't what I intended.
