>>5921588Got a problem with how I spend my money, then stop me, try and stop me!
Face it, despite the use of the same factories if its not the qc failure rate being HIGHER on hasbro versions, its a horrible lack of paint, years ago I was happy buying all hasbro figures, but now the distinction between the 2 is becoming higher, I mean for fucks sake I actually bought cw skylynx bevcause I didn't want his shitty limbs and ended up fixing the joints myself just because he has damn good color variance and despite his issues still works out fine, but then we get shit like TR blurr (I bought scourge despite his issues as I can troop build).
And you know what really annoys me, I actually like hasbro's rid2015 line, so far fuck all qc issues and only tiny licks of paint between hasbro and takara, this is supposed to be the line aimed at younger people and its qc and paint apps are doing better than TR with is supposed to appeal to a higher age category.
And other than my autism, the one concession I'll give is the fact the toys are still made for the same age group, and same factories.
>>5921596>To be fair those tabs had no use in Hotspot's mold because he was probably the one that was made wrong because I just checked the manuals and there was no mention of doing the Z pattern to his inner jointsThe manuals aren't accurate when you factor in hasbro mp manuals missing stuff and would not be surprised if they were neglected, or assumed people worked out the Z joint movement (if it is meant to be intended).
Not that it matters, I gouges the thing out on my g2 onslaught and it works just fine, I just need to go back and fix my pyra magna's when I get the chance, I want my autobot waifu combiner fighting my future decepticon waitfu combiner without them destroying themselves first
