Hello all, tonight I picked up Classics Silverstreak and Sideswipe(both awsome).

Anyway, while I was transforming Silverstreak for the first time, I moved his leg(the hip part) forward a little bit. I heard a small snap, but it felt like one of those joints that has a gear in them(you know, like Movie Starscream has in his leg). Honestly, the name escapes me right now.

Moving on, the other leg did the same thing. I looked underneath inside of the ball joint, and there were was a very visible crack(stress fracture). Oddly enough though, the legs at the joint are still extremely tight and sturdy(more so than Prowl), so I personally won't be returning the figure or anything(plus I got the only one they had, and as long as it isn't un-repairable I'm fine with it).

However, I'm putting this out there as a "just to let you know" thing. Anyone else experience something similar?

One of my Silverstreak figures just has a slight stress mark on the spoiler but nothing terrible.

I haven't had any problems with any of my Classics so far except incredibly tight joints on Sideswipe, the 'crooked chest' issue on Sunstreaker, and the pile of crap that is Galvatron...

As for Silver (BLUE!) Streak, mine seems to be just right. The joints hold tightly but not too tight, the paint apps are good, and he's... he's Bluestreak!

Exactly the same thing happened to me, only I took him back.

The ball socket is too tight for the legs to move forward more than like 30 degrees.

I had the same snapping noise and bit of confusion that you did.
