Try the store where you got it. You can try Hasbro but there's no guarantee they'll replace it.

They're good about fixing things.

Alright, where do I contact them, how do I word things, etc? Sorry, haven't done this before.

If I may, being the self-proclaimed resident TrypHipSitch expert. If they're broken the way that early copies were (like the plastic in the ratchets wrecks itself), then the ratchets are pretty much irretrievable - but you can always take the ratchets out, beef up the friction inside the swivels with some paper, cardboard, electrical tape or what-have-you, and just get by with some really sturdy friction-based hips for your Trypticon I suppose.
If they're not already borked though (and they shouldn't be straight out of the box), I'd highly recommend doing one of the pre-existing fixes, just in case. That one where you compress the springs over and over for like ten minutes is apparently really effective!

I did perform the spring fix (even on the leg that wasn't messed up). However, my dad broke the hip by accident before we did that, and now the cross-thing inside the hip is sheared. But, like with the missing ramp, I'm making negotiations with BBTS to see if I can get a new hip piece or an entire right leg. Fingers crossed...

... *frantically gets up to check* ...okay, phew. The ramps are on double hinges. One end of that hinge is a pin, the other end is friction. So, thankfully, once the replacement arrives it should clip right in. I just hope this all goes smoothly...

Heh, guess I should've just walked the 50 metres to check my own copy instead of assuming based on my own shoddy memory. Today's lesson: check your toys before you make statements about them, and don't trust Qwan

Just joining the party here for this guy thanks to Ollie’s. He’s pretty dang awesome!! I think I have the same issue that Burn stated many pages ago, the front of the spaceship mode droops a little when you pick it up to fly it around. And if you aren’t picking him up in spaceship mode and flying him around, you’re doing it wrong.
My hips seem ok, I checked my batch number against the list that Max over at TFW2005 posted (I copy and pasted that into the Trypticon Ollie’s thread) which basically stated I may or may not have issues ever. Looking forward to tightening that chest flap in dino mode that Seibertron mentioned as well.
Labels today hopefully, but dang that Repro set would be awesome!!!

I went into my storage to check the box. "LG-43 Trypticon" and "Takara Tomy" are the only things written in English, everything else is Japanese. So I have 'Legends' and not 'Generations'. Is there any real difference between the re-releases, other than less stickers, apparently?
