Only two Ive seen have been the chrome on the chest and the missing sword.
Both pretty annoying as they'll be very obvious.

It seems mad that a £180 toy folk waited over a year for should have any QC issues at all. At least it isn't yellow!

Chrome okay on Star Saber. not the cleanest application, one side looks like dust got on or under the chrome a it was being applied, but you have to get pretty close before that even starts being noticable.
Vic Leo not quite as good, but alright.

On balance I like it, theres definitely paint app issues. Nothing serious on mine but a couple of little things.
But if getting it out before the Deathsaurus Haslab was meant to convince me to back that one, well........
Im not sure its helped. A lot of what Im liking here is all the smaller figures, (the small Saber figure is my favourite part especially in bobble head mode) and their various combinations. DS doesnt have that.
VS feels a little bit cheap, they are using that plastic again, the stuff that seems soft, even though it isnt. If they use it on a simpler figure like DS, not sure thats going to be good.
And then theres the chrome, if they've managed ot balls up the small amount of chrome on these two, whats DS going to be like?

Mine has arrived. As far as I can tell, his sword is intact. Not checked the chrome. I am saving this for a while, I don't want to rush through it.

Mine also arrived yesterday, which was indeed earlier than originally scheduled. I was going to leave it until I had some time to look at it properly at the weekend, but all the nonsense I was hearing about QC issues yesterday meant I opened it. All the pieces seem to be there, but there was some slight scuffing on the chrome on Star Saber's chest. Which isn't too obvious, and not as bad as some I've seen, and I can live with. But also, for the cost of the figure, I shouldn't have to. This has made my Deathsaurus decision for me, I think, What other issues have been reported? I've not taken mine out to inspect yet. I know some people are missing a sword Matt, Matt, Matt..... Clear but coloured Star Saber blades? |

I checked the copy I got that now belongs to Toy-Fu. Sword is there and chrome on Saber chest is perfect so whoever ends up getting it will be very lucky!

Vic due tomorrow, apparently.
Requires a signature, and fortunately I'm off!

Mine came in today, and no missing parts or damage, and no guffy joints.
I lucked out!
Victory Saber is a lot.
Two hours after I started messing with it, and I've gone through all it's modes.
I feel he's worth the price.
Minor nitpick is there's nowhere to stash the blade when it's not connected to the hilt.
I feel like they could have made a spot for it inside the shield.

Finally opened mine properly last night. Haven't combined the robots yet - will save that for tonight - but it is now sitting next to me on the sofa in combined brickjet mode. So far, it's a nice toy, very hefty. The neck of Star Saber feels a little too wide for me, like he's wearing some sort of neck scarf, but other than that it's fine. The flight stand, however, I am not impressed by. The "clip" for attaching the vehicle mode is more of a tiny perch, and it's made out of flimsy plastic and wobbles alarmingly when the combined mode is perched. So I don't think I'll be using that too often. Disappointing.

Tonight on the call, encouraged by my success with Deathsaurus at lunch, I *FINALLY* transformed Star Sabre into Jet Mode - with Sabre spending time in robot and jet modes en route, Victory Leo, who previously been transformed and had been in Lion Mode for six months, was turned into Jet Mode and combined to form the Victory Sabre jet which I then turned into the combined Victory Sabre robot.
Apart from making a major mistake with the Star Sabre jet, which I only discovered when I combined it with the Victory Leo jet,

Ah!
I had the robot's upper legs at a diagonal angle in jet mode. Jet mode was fine ish - I'd not compacted the upper arms - but the angle of the legs prevented Victory Leo from docking.
The upper legs have a joint half way down that is VERY well hidden - so they point out to the sides at the hips and THEN straight down once inside the the lower legs

You typoed it with a comma, which effectively means you ended your post mid sentence, |
