The Energon Pub

Please be warned, a mod from cybertronphils, has encountered a nasty QC issue in the Encore Devastar set. So for those who have their figs pre-ordered, unless you are an MISB collector, give your retailer/supplier the permission to inspect the set.

Mixmaster component are said to be packed without his head.

We've already heard of that nasty bit of QC, but thanks for the head's up.

I see what you did thre


Not ordered mine yet, will have to see how widespread this is.

Glad I didn't get 'ahead' of myself and pre-order one.

Ahem.

Hmm. I have it on Preorder from BBTS. I hope they are aware of this.

That report has kept my "head" spinning.

And how do I do that? There's no check box on the TF Source preorder page that says "Allow TFSource to inspect the set before shipping."

Send 'em a mail?

Is this one set or is it a widespread issue. This happens from time to time, as we all know.

I just sent an email to TFSource, asking (A) if they can check them before they ship them and (B) what are my options (exchange? refund?) if mine arrives with a headless Mixmaster.

As soon as I get a response, I'll post the response here.

I bet they're running around like 'headless' chickens trying to check all their in stock sets.

I'll stop soon. Honest.

A warrior doesn't need a head, just a good strong body.

I also emailed amiami. No response yet but this is probably the reason I haven't received the bill for payment yet. gavinfuzzy already received his wherein usually around this time, amiami should have had started sending emails of confirmation of availability and payment

I have received mine, and yes Mixmaster is headless.

Maybe he's become a headmaster & his nebulan partner got angry & left for a while.

I suspose a easy fix,is to buy one of those KO Constructicon sets & take the head from that & give it to the #20 encore set.

No. You pay for a full set.

Time for some 'one-hand-clapping' philosophy!

Would this matter to a MISB collector?

THE MIND BOGGLES.

I ain't interested in this thus I pay zero for a full set.

I'd rather buy the 3rd party Giant instead.

This is one of those errors that makes your head spin. We see weird ones all the time, but this one...wow.

That's not my point. My point is that ANYONE (not you specifically) who pays for a set, should get a set, not 99,99% of a set.

I personally don't care what you buy instead of it, nor is this the point of the thread.

another victim of the headless horseman

I'm getting a "headache" with all this nasty puns! You guys are hilarious!

Gather your receipts! Let's all head back to the store!

Well that sucks. Guess I will be contacting TF Source to see what their policy is regarding known defects. I have two sets pre-ordered, one to leave sealed and another to display next to Hercules.

I will probably leave it in Devastator mode 90% of the time but would like to have the option of displaying them individually too.
