Blitzwing isn't all he's cracked up to be, apparently.
This thread over at TFW shows a lot of flaws.

Of note, he has a rubber head, face and nosecone, plus his shoulders do not lock in place.

After reading/seeing that, I canceled my preorder. I don't have patience for that kind of mess.

I can get past the rubber faces and nosecone, the shoulders are going to be the problems for me.

It could be that the poster was unlucky enough to get the one unit to have issues with the shoulders.

I'll still get him for the sake of getting a Classics rendition of Blitzwing, but it is quite disappointing to know of these issues.

I hope you're right, but I just can't deal with that. (You've been Magnused.)

Maybe Blitzy isn't perfect, but it's a Classics-style Voyager class Triple-Changing Blitzwing in G1 colors, and a few flaws aren't going to ruin it (just as the flaws didn't ruin the G1 version).

And that's fine for you, it just isn't enough for me.

Well, it's fine with me. It's not perfect...but having to realign the shoulders isn't the worst thing I've dealt with.
