If you like surprises, I'd say it might be best to avoid the solicit for RiD 29. I think it blows a major plot point.

The canopy on my helicopter chick likes to pop off. I think it's a design flaw and it does it on everyone's. It's not that bad though. It's not like Blitzwing's arms and droopy rubber nosecone.

I seems like a design flaw for the type of hinge system it uses. My hoist has the same type of clip on his gun/tow hook thing, and that thing is held on by hopes and dreams at best.

Of Course my Hoist is host to a lot of problems, loose ball joints, loose head, mis-assembled windows, missing paint apps, just a bunch of stuff. I picked up Trailcutter as kind of a second chance at the mold, cause it's pretty good, which was put together well, plus is comic was pretty great, so yeah.

Just wondering is Armada Starscream any good? His robot mode looks okay, but I have a hard time getting over that exposed head in vehicle mode. I just want a good Starscream, I have the Voyager from Prime, but he's just not doing anything for me.

It appears the "loose head" is a problem on every Hoist. Since it's just a hinge and not a balljoint it isn't much of a problem but yeah those other issues on yours sound pretty bad, try to exchange it if you can.

I don't have Armada 'scream yet (he's on the way) but the head shouldn't be exposed in altmode, isn't there a panel whose only purpose is to cover it?

I like Armada Starscream. Mostly though I liked the character design aspect but the original Armada toy was so bad. It must have had 3 or 4 inches of plane top and flipped back guns sticking straight out the back. to the point where his feet had to have "heel feet" that were almost as big as his normal toes.

How about DJD catches up with Overlord and looking over there, the Lost Light appears due to a quantum jump screw up (RIP third rate Autobot who no one remembers in the engines)

I like him, he fixes all the problems of the Armada mold. His head isn't really visible in alt mode, other than if you look straight down from the top you can see the back of his head flush with the rest of the jet body, which is identical to how it was with the Armada version. The only difference is the back of the Generation's version's head is transparent orange to make the light piping work. From below there's a little flap specifically to cover his head/face. The only thing that's an issue is that the swords don't fold closed all the way, a tab doesn't slot in right, but they still store under his wings fine. And unlike the Armada version, he actually gets two swords.

Tigerzord is sorta useless because if you have Tor you just open tor up and store the Tigerzord inside and nobody knows it's combined to the ultra zord.

You're probably welcome to it, but the condition doesn't look stellar and I have no idea if it's complete.
