40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

The lack of stress marks around those cracks makes this even more concerning. On top of that slider bar being too big, the red plastic might be unusually brittle.

I own Unicron, Victory Saber, and Deathsaurus and don't recall any QC issues with any of them. Omega Prime might be the first one.

hasbro literally did a second run of victory saber a couple years ago so people could send their originals in and get a fixed version because of the QC issues lol

Deathsaurus was flawless. Unicron had some disappointing losses of paint but otherwise functioned. VS and OP are the troubled ones.

Only the good guys get screwed, apparently.

What were Victory Saber's issues?

Why do the Decepticons always get the good jive?

What were Victory Saber's issues?

quoting the wiki here:

Unfortunately, most if not all Victory Sabers suffer from numerous quality control issues that resulted in many collector complaints. The most common issues are damage to the gold chrome on Star Saber's chest-"V" and a diagonal scratch across his mouthplate. The latter in particular occurs identically across multiple figures, leading fans to suspect a problem with the mold itself. Other prominent problems were sword blades that could only be inserted in one of their two advertised angles, nosecone attachment notches that were incompletely formed, leaving the nosecone slanted in vehicle mode, and leg panels that won't fully close in V-Star mode. Some figures also suffer from a minor misassembly where the extendable landing gear in each of his knees are pinned to the wrong legs; the molded details are molded on a slight slant to make them sit parallel with the rest of the leg details—which are also molded on a slight slant, for the figure's bulky legs to naturally stand at an A-stance in robot mode. In some cases, both of his knees feature the exact same landing gear pieces, leaving only one leg with the molded details slanted in the wrong direction.

I don't own Unicron, but I have VS and Deathsaurus, and aside from a bit of minor scuffing on VS' chrome they're both a-ok.
