How common is it to get a Masterpiece with a factory error?

Today I got a sealed Sleep Mode Optimus Prime and when I finally took him out of the box I noticed that both of it's hands are right hands.


Also any recommendations as to how to fix it? Or should I leave it as it is to preserve it as a rare item?

For the curious ones, according to the information card it's limited edition number 1997/2010

Contact wherever you got it from about replacing it...hopefully it was from BBTS or TFsource, somewhere with good customer service. It's not going to be worth more...do you want one with a QC issue?

I'd have to agree with kibble, it depends where you bought it, or if it has great costumer service.

Just to warn you, contacting the original manufacturer, especially Hasbro, will yield you nothing.
