Looks like Hasbro is sending out letters to people who have contacted them about their issues saying they will be sending replacement Prime's later this year. I finally opened mine this morning and no cracking issues so I did the fix

40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime
- Thread starter Undead Scottsman
- Start date
I guess I need to try the fix on mine as he will not slide down without considerable force
Are they sending out a whole Prime? Just the core robot? Because if the latter, I wonder if I could get one to display both Super and Omega Prime at the same time.
I think its just the core robot
What's more expensive? Running off thousands of armor/trailer sets, or designing some new shipping package for just the core bot?
I'd lean towards the latter, but I genuinely don't know.
I would think the entire front and back of the fire truck would be gangmolded together, but now I'm wondering if they would even bother making new packaging instead of just wrapping whatever they send out in protective bubble wrap and styrofoam inside a standard cardboard shipping box.
I'd assume it'll be packed a bit more securely than that. They've irritated people enough with such a major QC problem already, they won't want to risk sending out more broken figures.
Sorry, that's what I meant as packaging.
They are absolutely not going to design a new fancy box with artwork for this; at best we'll either get a secure cardboard inset, inside a nondescript box, inside another nondescript box, or a duplication of the fire convoy box from the Haslab.
