I bought this 2 days ago and i am disapointed with the product i got. After 1st transformation from player to robot both Soundblaster and Frenzy feel wobbly. Someone told me that G1 cassettes are like that by design but what about Soundblaster?
From watching youtube reviews of the same model they all have good comments on the joint thighness. I am thinking about asking the store for an exchange but before i do i want to make sure there actually is a problem.
The thing is i am not that much familiar with G1 reissues and the Encore line. Is it normal that out of the box after first transformation the toy wobble when slightly shaken?
I am not native English so it is a bit hard for me to describe. When i manually move the parts i hear the normal "clics" from the joints. If i shake it, the movement is not big enough to produce "clics" and the arms would not drop. But it does not feel solid at all. None of the "modern" transformers i bought so far wobble that much.
Frenzy is even worst. In cassette mode, unless placed perfectly vertical it is never flat. One side of the cassette is out of alignment because the leg moves.
Would appreciate comments from people owning the same model...
Update: Made a video to show the problem:

I say exchange it. The worst thing that'll happen is you having to pay for shipping

I'd say exchange it, sounds like you just got unlucky and pulled a "bad one" in terms of quality control.
