The Energon Pub

So in a weak moment, I lost my mind and ordered the Perfect Effect PE-01F/R set. Despite the ludicrous price and high probability of quality issues, I decided to get them so I'd have a classics-styled Rumble and Frenzy on my shelf. There's just nothing else out there that fits the bill so well and can strike the cool poses these can.

However, when my set arrived, Rumble had an odd tear on his right knee. The plastic tear appears to be a production issue as it wont bend back down into place.

It doesn't affect it's articulation, but it's an eyesore. In response to my email, the awesome folks at BBTS offered to replace it no questions asked. Only one problem: it arrived with the exact same flaw.

If you have this set or any version of the figure, did yours have the same problem?



Aside from this issue (x2) and some sketchy paint apps here and there, I actually really like these figures. When you take a step far enough back to overlook the flaws, they look killer displayed.

I'm not sure if this would even help, but the shadow warrior doesn't have that problem.

Any online review should mention it if it's a version problem.

EDIT: Just watched the video review and the review figure didn't have the problem. It could just be a bad batch, try exchanging one more time if you have the patience.

Sent BBTS another note with the photo. They've got good customer service so I'm sure they'll make it right. I was just surprised that no one caught it since the second one just came in a clear, plastic bag.

Well, can't say I have any problems with Rumble. Mine showed up fine. My issue is with my Frenzy. I saw a video on youtube by Optibotimus, where his figure had two left feet. My guy has to left arms. Gonna try and find someone who has a figure with two right arms Hopefully, I'm looking for someone to trade just this small part with.

I believe I have a Frenzy with two right arms. You want to trade? Frenzy is the Blue one right?

Here's a pic of what I have. I'd be willing to trade the arm off to complete our figures.

Yeah here's mine.

I had the exact same problem. Robotkingdom's been promising to ship me a replacement for a while; we'll see if it ever happens. Interesting to note that it seems to be so common, must be a tool issue.
