What the heck are you talking about? I wasn't posting my comment in response to yours. I just replied to the topic to say what I thought about it because I think it's an awesome figure. I hadn't even read your comment nor have I read the comments that were posted in this topic for the past couple of days.

As for your Crankcase, if you don't like Crankcase ... return him! Problem solved. You should always keep the packaging and receipts for your figures just for situations like this one.

As for your WST figure, I'm not sure what you're talking about. If I said I'd help you out and acted like I didn't know what the heck you were talking about the next day, I apologize. Do you mean TFsource? TFW doesn't have anything to do with the WST figures. I don't think I would've said something like that though during a bar night ... but it was a bar night which several people on here probably can attest that I had a couple too many so who knows what I said. What I probably meant to say was that you need to go talk to whoever you bought the figure from, if they give you a hard time about it, come see me and I'll help you out if possible. I'm sure they would've most likely replaced your figure. You don't need me to do that. I also had a lot of things on my plate last year and a lot of people talk to me at the convention. I'm pretty good at remembering things ... but it's possible I didn't recall our conversation if you approached me the next day while I was manning the Seibertron.com dealer table, trying to work on content for Seibertron.com, visiting with my wife, and keeping an eye on our baby. BotCon is the most stressful week of the year for me ... cut me a little slack please!

Is this who you talked to at BotCon?



I do a lot of things that don't benefit myself. I don't appreciate you accusing me of being a jerk because I said I like Crankcase and because you need to return your WST and Crankcase figures.

Yeah, he's definitely my favorite so far. Cool alt mode and that robot mode is just great, IMO. The teeth, the "f*ck you" fingers, the clawed feet, the dreadlocks - it all adds up to a kick-ass figure. Plus the whole buzz about the finger-thing has made it that much more fun for me.

Plus, if you backlight him, his eyes kinda glow!

Actually that guy look rather warm, like if he gave you a hug you'd never want to let go. *sighhhhhhh* oh, huh, what were we talking about?

Let's keep the thread on topic please since it's front-paged. Thanks!

Yep, understood.


GOOD NEWS: I've opened 7 03651 figures now and they've all been intact.


BAD NEWS: I can't find anymore in stores!

Seven? What are you doing with all of them?

Haha, I knew someone would ask about that...

Well, I've been lucky enough to find eleven "03651" figures between two of my Wal-Marts. So I've been selling them to various people on here and at another site (at retail! - I'm not scalping). Most people have wanted theirs opened to confirm, so that's how I've seen them all.

He's my favorite too; I just wish he had middle fingers!!!

I'm gonna give it another week then I might call upon your help. Funny thing is I really didn't like this guy but between the clipped finger issue and having to use his gun in the Mechtech game he's grown on me.

I'm on the lookout for more of the good-numbered figures. I might make a trip down the highway (35+ miles!) to find some more. I should actually do it tomorrow - there won't be anymore "intact" figures coming to stores, I'm betting.


Also, what do you mean "use his gun in the Mechtech game"?

There's a game on Transformers.com it's a side scrolling action game that I was just going to try, then got addicted to.

where can I check the code?

Check this post. The number is embossed towards the bottom of the cardback.

bought one on sale at TRU for 11.97 today. The lot number was 10131. Fingers aren't cropped and i live in Canada.

Thanx alot for the lot numbers!!! There were a couple different lot numbers and i used my Iphone to find what the stats were on which one too buy.

But the figure is pretty loose and his chest doesn't tab so well into the shoulder pegs. Proceed with caution with this guy. Plus one of his horns was broken and hanging off when i revealed his head.

With all that being said he has great detail and i most certainly love my figures being monstrous and he totally fits the bill. Very demon like. That fact alone makes me forgive the above mentioned deficiencies. Cant say he's a must buy but i like my monsters. So i couldn't resist. Him and Megs make a great combo.

Awww, bummer. Yeah, I've found that the hip joints are a little loose. Unfortunately, the best one I've opened so far is my clipped 10601. That kinda sucks, lol.

No worries..Thank YOU Seibertron for helping me sort through the runts of the litter.

At the cheap price of 12 bucks i think i might dive in for another and hope a horn ain't broke and have two of him beside Megs.

Like the hounds of Hell sort of vibe. I find this evil creepy aesthetic of these two figures quite refreshing in TF's.

Here in CA I've been to Target, Walmart and TRU and all the codes are the same 10601 seams to be the common code with CUT fingers. I'll keep looking, haven't open mine yet.

In about two days I should know whether I need to ask for your assistance as well.
Are you going to Botcon? Is there a possibility you could bring it with you if I end up needing one to avoid shipping charges?

Sorry, man, I'm not going to BotCon. The need to put it within 1000 miles from me. I would bring you one, though!

Ok, guys. This will probably be the last update I do. Overall, I think we can see what's what. Maybe if they re-mold Crankcase's hands I'll pick this one back up.

Thanks to everyone who chipped in by telling their codes!
