Talk:Misassembly

Titanium Magnus's shoulders

Word of God says that the shoulders on the released toy are indeed on the wrong side, but he isn't sure if them being flipped was a deliberate choice, or an oversight that the deco guy made use of. --FortMax 12:46, 12 August 2009 (EDT)

Alternators Camshaft?

Alternators Camshaft has his shoulder deco painted on the wrong side, IIRC. I sold mine a while back, but that sounds right. Anyone confirm this and figure out where it would need to go? -hx 10:13, 14 November 2009 (EST)

This article currently only lists widespread errors.

Currently the article only lists errors that affect an entire production run, or at least a considerable percentage of it. I think it should at least be pointed out that there are also instances of isolated misassemblies of individual specimens. Now, obviously nobody wants a long list of "My Jetfire came without a head", but the overall phenomenon should at least be listed here, and some well-known examples should be listed. I'm thinking of Alternators Prowl, who came with two of the same hand in more than one reported instance, and even made it into several official stock photos in that state.--Nevermore 10:17, 14 November 2009 (EST)

If the error is well-known, it almost has to be widespread. Khajidha 13:31, 14 November 2009 (EST)

Yeah, but should this list only name well-known toy-specific errors? Or different kinds of possible errors with well-known examples if possible?--Nevermore 04:58, 15 November 2009 (EST)

The problem here is: how do you prove it? You could be the one out of ten people in the world who has one, and the chanses are high that you are the only one who notices it. I got a Scalpel(ROTF) who has a twisted trut that suports the main body, but i can't find anyone who has the same problem. My point is, you could have a legit one-of-a-kind factory error, but the it's so meaningless that it's almost not worth noting.--Sunjumper 05:54, 15 November 2009 (EST)
