Just as well these aren't limited edition premium releases or anything like that, eh..?

There do seem to be two differing points of view on this one, both with evidence & reasons why they're right neither of which conclusively negate the other!

Got my C/PC in today.
Can confirm it isn't misassembled, that it works just fine.
Can confirm the car fenders can fold back exactly like Drift in decepticon mode.
Can confirm it's a pretty neat update.
I'm also pretty sure his wheels are the exact same ones used on CW Sunstreaker/Wheeljack, but it'll be a long time before I can compare directly.

You mean you got a correct one, or that you disagree with the misassembly story? |

That they're not misassembled, as per the Allspark article.
That the shoulder swap is unnecessary, and functions just fine without it.
Was trying to alleviate the concerns of those who were upset by the initial TFW report.

I did the shoulder peg swap.
Without it, it really felt like something would snap when transforming into car mode. With it, it just kinda clicks together automatically.
What I can't get my head round is the swap actually reduces the mobility of the shoulder, which in theory should make transforming it into car mode more difficult.
Is it misassembled? I am inclined to believe the swap lining up perfect is simply just a fluke.
The parts count, and number of steps needed to transform it would lead me to believe that if there is a Pointblank deco planned then it likely would not cost out to be retail deluxe.

The more I see him, the more I'm interested in Punch. And that's annoying.

Cool photos- that CW TFCC version is quite pointless, really. Waste of a TFSS slot. |

I love the fact Punch is represented by an HFG.
That does show how good the PotP one is.

Interesting titbit in the into to today's 16bit.com FOTD: www.16bit.com/fotd/181002-tra-pwt-blast-off.shtmlI'd not heard that suggested before - it makes sense given the mailer boxes - but if Ada, who's industry and works for Entertainment Earth, says that the I'd take it as true. |

for some subscription boxes it works wonders, the Marvel collector corps one was fantastic value 99% of the time, it just depends what you want out of it, most months I was getting a T-shirt, some other type of wear (hat, cap, socks etc) and 2 funko pops and 2 random (albeit crappy generally items) for less than £20 delivered, that is fantastic value.
The Collector subscription service that Andy K, Jetty etc kindly sorted out was a lot more pricey but I adored the figures so swings and roundabouts really!

Arcee, Grotusque, Repugnus, Blastoff, P/CP
So far only one dud. This is a better success rate than FP's subscription service, considerably cheaper (not one of these was more than $30), and way more work than FP could put into theirs.
If their bar for killing this idea was a failed board game subservice, then methinks they they screwed up.
