We didn't really have any out of the box major issues with the other Titans did we? I mean yeah, Metro and Maxi have legs that collapse under their own weight sometimes but they didn't break.

Trypticon is OUT!!!! Not only is he shipping from online retailers like BBTS (for those who preordered him), but he has appeared at US retail. The picture below comes from a sighting at a Think Geek store in Oklahoma.

Devastator too didn't have any issue of that kind

Some people had issues with a tab on Scrapper that keeps his scoop/blade/whatever in position for foot mode snapping off when transforming. I don't know the level of widespread it was, it hasn't happened on mine (mine did have two right hands, though, a completely different, one off issue!)

I don't think a small chain of specialty shops counts as "being out" at retail any more than BBTS shipping preorders does. Try again when it shows up en masse at TRU, Walmart, Target, etc. you know, actual mass retail. (not that it'll show up at any of the ones in my area)

It does count. If we waited for the combienr box sets to show up at your retail to write an article saying they were out, we still wouldnt have an article.
Point is, its out somewhere so it might come out elsewhere.

That said, I agree with you. Let's also keep in mind that these shops are also selling it at normal price, not the jacked up third party "got em early price". Definitely newsworthy.
A while back in the thread there was a video by That Transformer Fan on Youtube, who had the same problem as I did. From what I understand he identified the exact same problem, also returned his Trypticon for a new one and employed a different fix to the one I came up with.mazingaspidey wrote:Has anyone actually confirmed that the legs are breaking? All I've seen are videos with people concerned about them, but no actual breaking yet.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to return one if it actually breaks. Nothing falls off and it's not visibly broken unless you disassemble the hip, but it's clear something is wrong without having to do that. Chances are as long as you have the receipt and explain the problem, you'll have no trouble (I didn't have an issue, and Australian stores tend to have slightly tighter returns policies than American ones to begin with.)Kurona wrote:So if your Trypticon's hip thingy does turn out to be a dud one, what's the extent of the damage?

yes that later part was what tipped the bucket into really making this a true sighting. just like how the TR figures first appeared at some tech chain I never heard about. They were sold at a standard retail price. Not everyone has a Walgreens either but if Leader Dragontsorm appeared there you bet your ass I would news it and say he`s out![]()
As for BBTS, I relied on this post here:
Also, he has been released by Robot Kingdom as well

LOOK MA! I'M ON SEIBERTRON!!
Yeah. that was me on TFW2005. Yes BBTS did Ship my Trypticon today. Why some didnt get theirs I dont know. Though you guys will hate me when I say I wasnt one of the first preorders.
I've been scrounging the internet on this hip thing since i learned about it AFTER I was charged by BBTS. Kinda miffed about that. plan on taking the spring to a hardware store to find something shorter or less powerful. I dont like performing alterations on the toy with cutting tools and the edge of the spring digging into the plastic makes me cringe

If you don't mind my asking, when did you put your pre-order in?
