Hi, this is my first post here after lurking for the past few weeks. I've mostly been collecting G.I. Joe and Marvel Universe stuff for awhile now, but decided to pick up some of the Cyberverse and Legends Class Transformers. I still have a nice G1 collection, but haven't bought any Transformers stuff in ages except for the occasional present for my nephews or my girlfriend's son.

Anyway, I picked up the Walmart exclusive Bumblebee, Soundwave, and Rodimus pack along with several other Cyberverse single packs last week. I noticed my gold Bumblebee from the 3 pack has extremely wobbly wheels. I know this is a repaint of an older model so my question is, is that normal or did I get a bad one? I like collecting figures in top shape and if I thought this was an exception, I would grab another pack. It's only 10 bucks and I can always give the lower quality ones to the nephews who really won't notice or care.

On one hand....there legends class so not much quality can be expected. The Commanders class yes. But lil bumblebee....ehhh. I'd honestly say that is your call. If you still have the box in decent quality I'd say absolutely take it back. If not.... you can go pick up bumblebee for a few bucks. Then return that one for a different legends class if you want.

If he gets a lot of play from you...errr...I mean the little one sure, might as well.

Welcome to the boards.

Wobbly wheels you say? Unfortunately, when a model, or mold, gets reused over and over it will deteriorate, resulting in figures of lesser quality than the first original toy. It's a sad fact of life.

I'd say get a new set and give the bum ones to the kiddos, as they were meant to be.
