Well today I opened my first movie toy I have gotten, he is deluxe Jazz.. And just like every single brand new toy I have gotten since I started collecting again these past couple years its the same story.. A brand new toy, that is flawed in some way like its been used before.. This time its one of Jazz's wheels, one on the back end is kinda loose like its about to brake off, and thus it doesnt lay right on a surface so when I roll him only 3 of his wheels will roll.. While the bad one just lays frozen, although if you lift the car it does roll with a flick of your finger on the wheel wich makes it even more annoying that it wont work when flat on a surface with the other wheels.. So here is my point, why the hell does it seem simply impossible to get a brand new toy in actual perfect brand new condition? That seems to be asking too much in this day and age of toys.. Theres always a flaw, sadly, always... And Im sick of it, so sick, but I'll keep collecting because its my passion but I know the flaws will be there every single time despite the toy being "brand fricken new".. So If anyone else has experienced this problem, your not alone..

Thanks for reading..

Umm, I must be stealing your luck. I have YET to get a TF that is broken or messed up in-package. Though to be fair, I only have about 120 or so of 'em...

I agree. Though I have not been stricken nearly as badly as you have, I must agree that QC is pretty poor these days. And this is not just wih Hasbro, but Takara as well.

Over the last few months, I have been bitten more by Takara than Hasbro. Then again, with Hasbro products, i examine them in the store pretty closely. Hehe, Try finding a Blackout with no stress marks.

Mine was fine; of course I went cheep and got the desert attack two pack
