Chaos on Velocitron Now Available on ToyRUs.com, New Stock Images Available

Had finger on trigger, passed it up. Can't afford it at the moment. Need to wait.

For those on the fence...

I'm glad I got mine when I did, but there's definitely a feeling of being slightly cheated in the Quality Control department. As with my other Titans Return figures, the joints are really flopping, but also:

- Rodimus Prime's neck requires exceptional torque to turn. I can't do it with my fingers, or by slotting it into a figure and turning it. It definitely feels like it's going to break eventually (I might try loosening his torso and seeing if that addresses it.

- Quickswitch's knees are so loose it is very difficult to stand him. I finally applied nail polish last night, but since they're hinges rather than ball joints, I don't expect that to really solve the problem.

- One of Quickswitch's wing joints (the piece that connects the wing to the body) is warped enough that the hole to mount his gun can't be used. It's not a deal breaker for me, because I don't use those holes on Quickswitch (if it were that way for Sixshot I'd be furious), but it does annoy me a lot.

- Optimus's stickers are really, really pretty in person, but mine were misapplied - they are cut very specifically to slot into the detailing along the top and bottom of the tank, but they were applied at least an eighth of an inch too high, so they are crinkled and loose along the top edge.

No problems with the other two.

Addition:

Being able to squeeze a decent boat mode out of Quickswitch partly ameliorated my misgivings about him.

My Six's knees are almost as bad, but this seemed a little bit worse - might be my imagination, though. Also the right shoulder is loose on both of them - it's surprising that both figures would have the same, asymmetric issue.

I just chatted with a Hasbro rep - they can't replace my stickers, which makes me sad, but they're sending me a complementary Transformer as a consolation for my disappointment.

It should be interesting to see what I get.

the joints on my Quickswitch were tight, an improvement over Sixshot. Also I'm glad I held off on buying more of these sets to sell on eBay, when I saw two more in my local store this weekend I was tempted, but seeing it now on TRU.com, I'm glad I held off.

Also seeing BBTS now has a pre-order listing for Sky Shadow, hopefully he'll be showing up in stores soon in my area.

Well not quite right now, cos my local(ish) stores have not much. Toys R Us did get wave 3 Titans back in stock and with a sale on so about £12 rather than £18 on deluxes but that's it at moment. I gonna check again in a couple weeks when hopefully some Last Knight stuff will be out cos I want Optimus

I'm Jealous. Non of the toy stores in Nottingham have stocked the wave 3 Titan Masters and Legends. I was beginning to wonder if they'd even made them to our shores.

Thanks again for this heads-up, guys!! I was able to get the one of two they had remaining from this morning (they started out with 4, per the case they got!) and am very happy to have gotten it!

And my local TRU still does not have them, nor does any TRU nearby. dammit, I really want that box set...

It is, but again, I am waiting till my next paycheck. And my main complaint in this response was the fact that no one around here has actually gotten it

But isnt that a good thing? Like that its not teasing you while you dont have your paycheck. And you dont see other collectors happily buying them in front of your face when you go to the store
