Nice problem to have, potentially, but also a potential headache for everyone else. Glad they cancelled them for the time being and hope they can sort it out.

I don't know if I ever found out more about this, but has there been an explanation for Star OP Hot Rod's spoiler gaps? Doesn't seem to need them for the Microtrailer or to stand at the turret, or to sit in the chest cockpit.

I have, and have seen, the same question. I know someone pointed out that early pictures show those holes weren't that large originally and were modified at some point. So they presumably were changed for a reason. However, I haven't seen anything indicating what that reason is.

...okay, maybe not. But if you told me it was, I wouldn't be surprised.

Luckily he flinched at the last second so the debt collectors didn't quite get his kneecaps.

If it turns out these were just, like, mold vent/whatever holes in the dumbest position possible, I'm going to be very annoyed.

I'd love the original two-line vents over these absurd gouges. Third party upgrade whatevers could probably give him his original guns that could tab into those. Now as it is I'm going to have to look for gap fillers to cover up these insane bodily potholes and pray that whichever 3P company it is, is that good at paint matching.

I’m on the side of a molding thing or factory error vs a functional change. If they were for attaching something,the slots or a simple rhomboid shape would be enough.
