I am sorry to hear that and no, it did not happen to me. Could you take a pic of the peice that broke off? Could you just glue it back?
Sure, I would have preferred proper elbows (snip) but it's certainly not necessary to my enjoying the figure.
While it might not be necessary, it totally changes things. And you prove it by your breakdown:
The individual Constructicons are OK. Scavenger and Bonecrusher have the best articulation, Hook and Mixmaster are pretty good, but lacking in their elbows, Long haul, though not what I was expecting in terms of design, (been hitting the fast food joints a bit much, eh Long haul?) Is still a descent figure beside his gorilla arms. I feel the same way about Scrapper, sans the part about design change.
You see, Scrapper is the best of the bunch and not just ok but on par with any voyager figure that came out this year... when he has elbows. The fact that he is number 1 in the Takara set and at the bottom in the Hasbro set means that the elbows make quite the difference.
