Why not? It'll be ordered through Amazon. Safer to me

Really? If so, that sucks.Those sheets should come in a little plastic baggie which sits free-floating in the box, behind the cardboard shell that Trypticon's attached to. It might be possible that you missed them, but if they're really not there I don't know what to say.

TakaraTomy's Dinosaurer's release date is really close to Hasbro's Trypticon's, hardly leaving any development time for retools and fixes.
I picked up Trypticon locally over the weekend because I have no patience or self-control. I dismantled the hips, inspected the whole lot, put them back together, and then stressed the crap out of them - spun them a few dozen full rotations each, back and forth a bunch, rotated from the body with the legs planted, anything I could think of - then took them apart again. Zero change. The green plastic is definitely softer than the rest, but it's still plenty sturdy. It might not be the sky is falling, every Trypticon will die issue that the guy reporting the fix thinks it is. In fact, is his the only report we've got? I know that a lot of people won't want to even risk breakage and will just clip the springs immediately, so reports will be skewed.
Watch out for the stickers, though. I'm about half way through and there's been several whose numbers may be transposed. Some are definitely the wrong way around, they're odd-shaped ones which only go in one way, and some are wrong according to the instructions and box pics, but might not actually be wrong, it's up to you to decide. It doesn't help that the sticker instructions are awful, possibly the worst I've seen. The stickers are also thin foil, and will basically fuse themselves to the first thing they touch, especially themselves.
