Why not commend something when it's done right rather than expect something to always be done wrong? That doesn't sound healthy to be honest.

Because it's what tends to happen most often, or at least, it does to me...

Check out the comparisons between the original G2 toy and the TFSS 3.0 version in the Seibertron galleries. Can someone from the TFCC post a picture of the original G2 sample they used to make the color choices for the new TFSS 3.0 version? Maybe they're seeing something I'm missing?

Let's face it, we like to complainI'd also like to point out that parts breaking off does not necessarily reflect the quality of the plastic used. In the case of Nacelle and G2 Starscream, the wing connectors being attached backwards is a major thing, as the holes on each end are not the same size and/or shape as are the peg and rivet they attach on (the rivet is the larger of the two I believe). As such, mismatched attachment points will end in breakage, like putting a square block in a round hole.

Not only are the wing hinges installed wrong, one of the hinges are installed too far forward which wont let the wing come flush with the body at all.
Which caused a massive stress mark in the shaft where the pin goes in
That's something I'd try to get exchanged. Not due to the hinges since they said those won't be grounds for one, but because of the assembly problem. Looks like it's gonna give over time, that's a good bit of stress visible on it.LOST Cybertronian wrote:Not only are the wing hinges installed wrong, one of the hinges are installed too far forward which wont let the wing come flush with the body at all.

Sorry that your emails have gone unobserved.
"If you are not currently a Transformers Collectors' Club (TCC) member OR if you need to renew, now is the time! Issue 67 of the TCC magazine will be the first issue of 2016 and will feature some AMAZING content! A selection of never before seen items, the start of the 2016 storyline (if you are a G1 fan you should REALLY dig this) and a look at the art for the 2016 Free Membership Incentive Figure RAMJET!
For those of you that enjoy the TCC Prose fiction, we have some big plans for 2016 as well! We will be announcing those plans in the next Issue of the magazine (A hint, it will tie in to the TFSS 5.0!)
Thank you to everyone who has made the TCC a part of your Transformers hobby! It is hard to believe that Ramjet is our 12th Membership Figure and we can't wait to show you the final samples with the NEW head sculpt!"
