Early Report of Assembly / Parts Issues for Haslab Victory Saber

Posted by william-james88 Nov 14, 2022 at 10:28pm CST 43,639 views
Victory Saber is ready to ship out and it already has been shipping out in China with fans getting their copies in. They have posted pictures on Baidu and in one case, we have seen some assembly issues. Two of the same part have been used instead of a left and right version. We have an incidence for Star Saber and Victory Leo as you can see below. This might just be an isolated incident, that's the best case scenario, but we are letting you know so that you can check when you get it in. Also, this post serves to highlight this possible issue to Hasbro in case they need to get ready to send out replacement parts, which isn't as obvious for made to order items like this one.

I doubt that Hasbro would send out replacement parts, they never do. At best you'll have to return the set for a refund, at worst we'll have to get credit card companies involved.

They sent out parts for Unicron though?

I don't know, I didn't hear there were issues with Unicron.

There were issues with his wing parts connectors cracking and Hasbro still fills replacement requests of them with I believe a reinforced version

Great reporting Seibertron. As these are officially released TFs, then it's more important to hope our own versions don't suffer the same fate!

Keep up the good work!

If I find my set misassembled, I'd be seriously pissed.

this also mean I'll have no choice but to open my second sealed set to inspect it, thus having it no longer sealed.

If there's yellowing on it, like I'm hearing about SG Soundwave, I'm gonna be on the news.

I'm gonna assume that's just for people who bought them directly. Which means that if I buy Victory Saber or (far less likely because holy crap those prices!! :shock: ) Unicron, I'm probably boned.

Now I really gotta start saving for Deathsaurus.

It's just a reminder email, telling you to go to your pulse order and make sure the address there is the one you want it shipped to. It doesn't even link to your order. If you go manually check your order, you aren't missing anything by not having the email.

If you ordered through Haslab, then don't wait for it. Just go to your account and make sure that's the right adress. That's all they ask you to do.

There's always Carbombya, or some other forum elsewhere for fans who got two of the same flap to arrange trades.

Granted, disassmbly will make this a little harder than when some Club members got two of tha same gun with SG Drift.

Or if Hasbro doesn't have the resources to mail out replacements, maybe they'd be cool with some 3P upgrade manufacturer making replacements to go along with gap filler pieces? It'd be a bit of a stretch for such limited run toys, but three MP TFs that I recall hearing a lot of complaints about (Ultra Magnus, Arcee, and BW Megs) got improved KOs made of them recently, so it seems possible, depending on how widespread the problem is. Sometimes quietly letting a third party of knock off manufacturer do their thing saves face compared to publicly acknowledging a QC issue or unpopular decision on an official toy.

Christmas is whenever you are surrounded by family and friends. Think you can make it work?

That email from today is basically the same as last week correct? I'm guessing we will get one next week as well. They really want to be sure they ship these to the right address.

If someone who ordered this has moved in the last year, it's on them if they don't take the 2 minutes to log on and check or change address if needed.
