Idk if I'd go so far as to say gaslighting, but I think I did say hubris at one point. The ambition of trying again is great, but at current prices I don't think the gamble is really wise.
It's a real shame because that Vector Prime looks gorgeous. Weird black stripe in altmode aside -- wish they'd changed it up from the Legacy deco, as this still makes the front tip look glued on -- that color scheme was executed really well. He's the one they tried the new technique or whatever on, right? I really want to be tempted to get this because the finish looks great compared to the somewhat mustardy original. And somehow while the original looks like an upgrade or powered version of the standard Cybertron deco, this slightly different take looks distinct enough to be a new character. Might even be fudgeable for a Last Autobot repurposing. But I may wait and see how reports of the plastic go... And/or see if demand for this keeps it from even being available enough for me to even have that choice.
Sorry you had this happen. I'm now back to iffy on that Megatron depending on whether or not there are any similarly thin parts that might have similar problems.
