I am not sure if I can in good faith continue to support haslabs going forward because of this. So I was one of the people who had issues with his Victory saber set. The box came shredded with as massive hole punched in it, and both Star Saber and Victory Leo had chips/scuffing in their chrome. So I opted for the product replacement. I almost missed the replacement, because the email that it has come available went to my spam folder.
So a couple weeks ago now, my replacement came in. The box this time was intact, but crinkled up around the edges and the corners were all smashed. Obviously this is due to the shipper being so tight and not any padding to protect it. I open it and immediately I see a chip in Star Saber's chrome in the exact same spot as the one I sent back. It is smaller and less noticeable, particularly if light is shining on it, but still there. Then I notice his antenna wont stay up. they just flop around loose. then, when I pull him out of the package, his arms flop around loose, and one falls off. His biceps weren't screwed together. They literally sent me an even more defective one to replace my slightly defective one. I should have just got the toyhax set and forgot about the box on the original.
I will say Leo was better overall, tighter joints, no chrome issues, and his knees hold together unlike my first one. Rather then send this one back, I just fixed it. I pushed the pin in on his antenna so now they are nice and tight, replaced and screwed together his arms, and will get the sticker set to fix his chest.
I sent in a complaint to hasbro, because they need to know this wont fly. I let my gojoe dragonfly go over this, and am now dreading how my hiss tank and deathsaurus will come.

And sadly? I just don't like Victory Saber. He is at the back of the Big Guys shelf, mainly because he just isn't as much as I had hoped he'd be. He just doesn't excite me, and that makes me really sad.
I am hoping Deathsaurus is much better.
What Legacy gimmick? Does one of his weapons count as an energon weapon?chuckdawg1999 wrote:D-Maximal_Primal wrote:On a different, but sort of similar note, I messed with Victory Saber some more over the past week, since I was retooling my "big guy" shelves to add as well as rotate some combiners.

They really didn't give us the figure we paid for and deserved. They were more concerned with it fitting in with the Legacy gimmick.

I think the sword being able to peg into different holes counts. It was molded in clear blue plastic too.

But the sword stores away properly inside either of the legs. That's even shown in the instructions.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Couldn't the MP also do that?chuckdawg1999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:What Legacy gimmick?

No, the MP had the proper sword storage because Takara knew that, THAT'S what the people wanted.
