Wow, they didn't try to offload some unrelated lower-cost back stock onto you instead?They have made it right. Curious what the issue was though.

That's odd...it happened to me once, too, though. And also noted that it had been paid by submarine. No joke, I saved a screen cap:

Platypus is a criminal! You "paid" for your order using an upside-down submarine! That sort of behavior got my cousin on Michigan's most-wanted list for a while.No...that actually happened...much to my annoyance they didn't include a G1 Megatron shipped upside down as a bonus item or something, either.
Ugh, Haslab QC strikes again. I have a misassembly on Gaihawk that will not allow me to transform him back from arm mode into either bot or jet mode. The misassembly appears to be on the combiner shoulder ratchet and is preventing the black part for the shoulder connection from folding back in. It was very difficult to fold out as well. I believe the black portion of the shoulder ratchet is not fully into its correct spot within the torso and causing interference with the black part the folds out. I've circled the part in the torso causing the interference and the part of the black fold out shoulder connection where it interferes.

Unfortunately the torso is glued together, so there is no way to safely take it apart to try and fix it inside the torso. However, I do think I can fix the interference issue by sanding down the part of the black shoulder connector where it interferes.
The issue did not affect the shoulder in combined mode at all, so I think my fix should work, but I'm going to wait and see if mine was a one-off misassembly, or if it is a larger issue that may have replacements like the past Haslab QC failures before I try anything.

Same. While getting an issue like this must suck, I do have to roll my eyes at "HasLab QC strikes again."I've transformed him back-and-forth a couple of times with no issues, so I think I'm in the clear.
I've been playing around with the individuals so far. I plan to combine tomorrow evening after my wife leaves town. I'll have like 4 days of bachelor life in which I will be playing with toys.![]()
I love my wife. I love my kids. But when she asks about taking the kids to her parents for a weekend, I encourage it.![]()
