So many fans have now gotten Victory Saber and while reactions are positive across the board, there are some issues that have been reported and we are letting you know of them in case you intend on keeping one in box for a while and not wanting an unwelcome surprise when Hasbro stops supporting this particular project with specialized customer service (as it did with Unicron).

While the paint defects, overspray and scratches have been common, they vary wildly from one sample to the next. The defect that has come up often is that one of the slots for Saber's nosecone has not been cut out. It is the most recurring defect attributed to sculpting so far and it prevents the nosecone from attaching properly to form the alt mode. There has also been a report from fellow Seibertronian Cloudbaloon that the handle to their V-Lock Canon is missing. And lastly, the face flap for Victory Leo is very tight, which can lead to breakage, as you can see in the image below from Thebricklord.

For MISB collectors, the box isn't actually sealed, so checking for these issues would not result in unsealing the box.

I hope these issues only affected the first batch or so, and hopefully these people can get replacements for these defects.

I'm still excited to get hands on mine soon but let's say go hope these issues are caught and resolved!

I opened mine today. No issues like that here. Just a small scratch on the paint on the arm. Overall happy with it, though.

Are you saying that MP Victory Leo will finally be a thing? I never heard it announced from anywhere.

I think he means this set has a leg up on ole MP 24 Because it is Victory Star Saber.

I do wonder why Takara never followed through with Victory Leo, did MP24 not sell well?

Even though it was the best selling toy the first week it was released, it quickly dropped off and is the worst selling MP in history.

I assumed Haslab items shipping from Chino CA were for mostly Western U.S. orders.

Mine came in today from Elmwood as well. Everything was in excellent shape, no scratches or paint issues and all the parts were good. I am being gentle with it as I don't want any breakage.

Not true. The box IS sealed. Kinda. There's that shipping box where FeDex applied the stickers, wrote on it, and so on. Then tight inside, there's the brown shipping box that Hasbro use for all their toys. THAT one is sealed. So for the HASLAB Victory Saber to remain "sealed", that brown box must remain sealed. However, it will totally suck as a display piece. So I'm not opening my second set at all. When I'll sell it, I'll just issue dire warnings in the listing that the thing is completely sealed and uninspected.

Ahem... Look closely on the Victory Leo side of the box. The main canon handle is a separate piece.

As for mine, it doesn't seem to have any defects, misassembly, nor scuffed chrome. I'll do a proper unboxing and review later today and create a thread.

I think that's the shield handle you're looking at. The cannon handle is built in and non-removable.

Omegatron's correct. The light grey piece located at the upper right of Victory Leo is for the shield. The cannon's handle should be black (? at least in Thew's video & in HasLab's render/sample). By the look of things after I unscrewed the front "flap", the cannon handle piece's contruction should look similar to this:

Yes the canon handle is black and already affixed to the canon. You can remove the astuc tray to see if it's intact from under without undoing the plastic ties

Just opened mine today, and everything appears to be assembled and present, but that mask joint on VL's forehead probably would break if I pressed it flush against his face. Seems to be a straight up design flaw.

I'm going to find a very fine file and grind down the lower corner a bit before I attempt to fully transform him. Unless someone has a suggestion of a specific tool that'd be perfect for the job?

Re: Some Issues to Check for when Receiving HasLab Transformers Victory Saber (2151291)
Posted by Bumblevivisector on December 10th, 2022 @ 4:11pm CST

Just found that my Star Saber also has the uncut-slot defect. Any way to remedy that other than just drilling it out, then dremmeling it smooth? And is this so common that Hasbro might run out of replacement parts right away?

Re: Some Issues to Check for when Receiving HasLab Transformers Victory Saber (2151296)
Posted by -Kanrabat- on December 10th, 2022 @ 5:06pm CST

I'm currently photographing my set in all angles, transforming, posing, and so on. So far, I did Star Saber and all of his components, except his daff "base mode". For me it doesn't exist. I also did Victory Leo's bot mode. Now all's that left are Leo's altmodes and the full Victory Saber.

So far so good, nothing seems to be missing nor any defects. I could be full OCD and say that the gold chrome on both Saber and Leo have some blemishes, but you really need a magnifying glass to notice them.

Expect the full pictorial review tonight.

One of the flaps on Saber's legs snapped literally on the first transformation. It isn't visible in the combined mode whatsoever, but it still pisses me off.

Looks like FedEx finally picked up from El Chino. Should deliver to my home on Tuesday. Just missing the Deathsaurus cutt off. Go figure. Thankfully I'm not depending on one to support the other.

Thanks you for the review! I'm enjoying my VS more after reading your review, as my missing cannon's handle really bummed me out. However after two days, I'm slowly getting around to it and able to start enjoying it after fixing a few looseness issues and overlooking other QC issues that I can't fix (like the gold chrome). Fortunately, Victory Leo's face flap that many people had trouble with isn't on my copy, it's tight at first, but after a few careful flipping back & forth, it's tightness is now "perfect" (and the black paint held!) and I felt it and everything else can take some abuse during transformation & posing.

I made a long 5mm rod so I can connect the cannon on either side of the hips of both Victory Leo & Star Saber. So at least the cannon is not totally useless. That also made me felt better.

VS costs like a current full-price Titan to me as a Canadian (nearing $300CDN, comparing to the recent Metroplex's Canadian MRSP+tax). Of all the Titans, I only own Devastator, Predaking & The Ark and they all cost me half the price of VS or less. Althought I understand it's a bit of a apple v orange comparison, but money-for-fun-wise, I think VS is far more fun than 2 Arks but not as fun as a single Combiner, though VS is far better looking. So I think, it's an 30% overpriced item IF it's a mass-retail.

What do you guys think? Is the money well-spent as a play/display piece? (i.e. Not meant to make a profit by selling)

So earlier today (the 10th) I got both tracking emails from FedEx for my Victory Sabers, but nothing yet from Pulse. Here's my problem, they're both due on the 16th, which would be fine except for one I paid for the faster shipping. Should I call Pulse on Monday to get my money back on the shipping or wait for them to be delivered?

Also Canadian here.
Ironically, my Legacy Metroplex costed me more than a HASLAB Victory Saber set. Like, around 50$CAN more! That is counting taxes and shipping. Considering that the VS set is basically a deluxe + commander + leader + 2 micromasters, I think I've got WAY more for my money with the VS set than Legacy Metroplex ever will.

Finally got to actually open mine after being away from home all day, and I am glad everything seems to be perfectly fine on my copy. I haven't properly transformed Victory Leo or Star Saber (I did at least fiddle with Holi and Fire) but I still made sure to check all the joints and as many flaps, all a-okay. Phew. ;)^

Also I'm really glad the handle for the sword can extend, great for a dual-grip on it but it also means he can hold it in one hand with the hilt facing the "right way". :lol:

That's the standard calculation I used too when I backed VS. But in hand, because of how closely integrated the Brainmaster, Saber & V-Star are integrated, I don't see them like separate Deluxe/Commander figures. It's more like the package contains a Commander (or Commander Plus) and the Leader Victory Leo.

But I'm thinking less about what size-class figurees the VS got, just the fun factor for the money. And VS is pretty unique from all the G1 fun. It's more like the ROTF/SS OP+Jetfire in its fun factor/play pattern, which I appreciate a LOT.

Heehee...got a shipping notification from Hasbro the day AFTER it arrived.

Finally got to unbox it yesterday, and thankfully no missing handles or unperforated holes. Victory Leo's gold has...not a scratch, but maybe a scuff? It's like a straight line that's not aa shiny as it should be. Also, the Micro Masters seem loose in some spots, and really tight in others. When I backed, I really wanted them to be included, because I wanted to get the most for my money, but they are my least favourite part of the whole package. Other than that, everything seems perfect. Or as perfect as one would expect from Hasbro these days.

Now, unpopular opinion time: I kinda think Commander Jetfire was a better toy cost vs enjoyment wise. Maybe that's because I never watched Victory before this HasLab was announced, and I backed it from a mix of FOMO and the fact he looks cool. Or maybe I'm not enjoying him as much as I should because he was so darned expensive and I'm a little afraid to play with him. I am terrified I'm gonna break something and be mad at myself.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I backed and think it's a neat toy. I just think he didn't quite live up to the hype in my own mind. Maybe messing around with it more will change my mind. So far I've just tried out all the modes, haven't really posed them or anything.

Oh, and remember in one early video, the Haabro team showed the butterfly joint in the shoulders, and people complained it wasn't truly a butterfly joint because you had to unhook the joint? Either Haabro changed that or the guys just mis-spoke, because the shoulder is a full on ratcheting joint.

FedEx has me a little confused. The tracking both says arriving Monday and on the truck out for delivery. Sucks that Hasbro is requiring a signature, I'm rarely available to receive packages. I wonder why some people are just having them dropped off without notice?

Generally from my experience, if it's on a truck before 6am, its coming that day, unless its Sunday since they don't seem to operate on Sunday, but being December those rules don't necessarily apply now.

The shoulder joints can butterlfy forward AND back. The one moving the shoulder forward is ratcheted, the one moving backward is not (this is what some people complained about).

Also, both Saber & Victory Saber can do forward ab-crunch. While Saber's is necessary for transformation, VS is not, that's also appreciated.

Re: Some Issues to Check for when Receiving HasLab Transformers Victory Saber (2151382)
Posted by SpaceEagle on December 11th, 2022 @ 5:03pm CST

I feel like the butterfly joint needs to be "unhooked" because otherwise it'd be kinda annoying having it move around while using the ratcheted shoulders.

Much to my immense surprise, Fedex reattempted delivery today, and I was home to sign off on it, so i got the package!

It's a real neat set, I have been messing with it a few hours, and it's fun.

QC wise, mine has the issue where the one nosecone tab is filled in, so I had to gouge it out, not very successfully, but enough for me to be at least satisfied.

AS for the package, it is a great looking team. Victory Leo is my favorite of the group, I love the lion man. Star Saber is real solid, I like how dense he feels. Victory Saber himself is real cool and makes for an impressive display.

really glad I backed the set, it's a nice team. Super excited for Deathsaurus now.

Correct. I didn't read the instructions. But I remember in one of HasLab's video showing the blade is stored in an open slot (beside the yellow knee pad) on the outer side of the legs.
