Please be warned, a mod from cybertronphils, has encountered a nasty QC issue in the Encore Devastar set. So for those who have their figs pre-ordered, unless you are an MISB collector, give your retailer/supplier the permission to inspect the set.

Mixmaster component are said to be packed without his head.

Not ordered mine yet, will have to see how widespread this is.

And how do I do that? There's no check box on the TF Source preorder page that says "Allow TFSource to inspect the set before shipping."

Is this one set or is it a widespread issue. This happens from time to time, as we all know.

I just sent an email to TFSource, asking (A) if they can check them before they ship them and (B) what are my options (exchange? refund?) if mine arrives with a headless Mixmaster.

As soon as I get a response, I'll post the response here.

I also emailed amiami. No response yet but this is probably the reason I haven't received the bill for payment yet. gavinfuzzy already received his wherein usually around this time, amiami should have had started sending emails of confirmation of availability and payment :-?

Maybe he's become a headmaster & his nebulan partner got angry & left for a while.

I suspose a easy fix,is to buy one of those KO Constructicon sets & take the head from that & give it to the #20 encore set.

Time for some 'one-hand-clapping' philosophy!

Would this matter to a MISB collector?

I ain't interested in this thus I pay zero for a full set.

I'd rather buy the 3rd party Giant instead.

That's not my point. My point is that ANYONE (not you specifically) who pays for a set, should get a set, not 99,99% of a set.

I personally don't care what you buy instead of it, nor is this the point of the thread.

Well that sucks. Guess I will be contacting TF Source to see what their policy is regarding known defects. I have two sets pre-ordered, one to leave sealed and another to display next to Hercules.

I will probably leave it in Devastator mode 90% of the time but would like to have the option of displaying them individually too.
