List your 50th defects

Not to sound the Death of the Line horn, but badly repainted remnants of the Retaliation line don't make a happy 50th birthday.
Like Pete, I'll wait to see them in stores before buying them.

The plastic in the figures seems to be extra rubbery, which makes them seem flimsy. The ML Guardians of the Galaxy figures suffer from this too.

....and the terrible paint job on Flint's forearms.

BBZ set - Skyhawk missing both missiles, sloppy paint on one "wing", upside down/crooked pre-applied stickers, bent tail.

DATD set - VAMP missing dashboard

This whole fiasco is reminding me of the Simpsons where Homer goes to hell and is sent to the Ironic Punishments Division....

:twisted:

The biggest defect I've found is that there are no 3 packs at my TRU, but tons and tons of the 2-packs.

Leatherneck's arms left their paint in the package so he elbows have patches on them.

I don't have any defects, let alone 50.

Weak paint apps on Leatherneck's forearms

I removed the backpack from the Cobra EEL from the Danger at the Docks set to attach the hoses, and found that when I did the post broke off in the EEL's back. I didn't twist it or anything like that, it jusy broke off pulling it straight out, never had any modern backpack do that before this.

Have there been any defects with the vehicles in this line? Or is it just the figures?

I haven't picked any up yet, but am considering a few of each set.

Same failure here. Right up to that point, I was totally stoked about this set.

And the picture of the WOLF on the back of the Battle Below Zero box has the labels backwards; really not a defect, but it's par for the course with with 50th stuff.

Actually the whole Wolf is mirrored. So far this is the only thing I've gotten. I'm waiting for my TRU DATD set, and the markmen set.

My replacement Cobra Trooper has an issue with the metal bar for its legs not working well with the legs themselves, forcing them to "snap" into certain positions rather than keeping the stance I put em in.

That's an issue I haven't seen since early 90s Corps figures, what the hell Hasbro???
