40th Anniversary Haslab: RID2001 Omega Prime

[Princess Viola]

Teehee.

I checked mine and now it says it will be delivered today between 10am and 2pm.

(Tbf it's most recent update when I checked on Wednesday had it at a township in Pennsylvania about 2 hours from where I live in New York and now it's most recent tracking update was it leaving Syracuse, NY.

Which is 1 hour 49 minutes to the east of where I live...and 3 and a half hours away from the township in Pennsylvania???? What the hell. I understand that I live in a small town but like you couldn't go to a FedEx location in fuckin Rochester or some jive which is like 45 minutes away and the nearest major city????)

 

[Princess Viola]

well mine is here and no cracks out of the box

 

[Platypus Prime]

Mine looks good too so far. The suggested box ratchet removal was simple but seems to make the waist sag easily, I may put it back.

i did the shaving down with sandpaper thing

one of my teeth was already warped inside from the factory, so good thing i did before i fully transformed prime.

i got sanded it down so it's loser but with still enough friction so that it doesn't just like slide up and down loosely

 

[Platypus Prime]

Magnus's wings are worrisome, not sure how to fix their 'get stuck so tight I feel plastic bending' issue around the posts.

 

[Xero]

Mine had paint that had "glued" the posts in place, I had to just crank on them to get them to move. It was scary.

 

[unluckiness]

Depending how they’re attached, if they’re not screwed in or ratcheted, a tiny bit of oil or grease worked into the joint can help loosen them.

Hope this isn't the HasLab quality to expect going forward, return plans on their end or no return plans...

You say that like terrible QC hasn't been a regular occurrence.

 

[unluckiness]

If we don't count Unicron's planet mouth being miscolored as a QC issue, only him and Deathsaurus didn't have any widespread problems.

 

[Sabrblade]

Yeah, Unicron and Deathsaurus were immaculate, and my Victory Saber had no glaring deal-breaking QC issues.

 

[Platypus Prime]

I did do some light sanding on Magnus's wing posts and added some Cube Lube, seems to have helped a lot and still locks in place, but without feeling like I will crack the casing.

So far Optimus is still holding up, we'll see. I do plan to change it a lot in this week so I can report it if it does have issues, but I didn't do a single transformation before the block sanding, I saw what everyone meant when I opened it, is IS too big for the slot it fit in...
