Let me tell you it's a pain to know they have 15 of these bad boys in stock but they seem to "lost" the boxes in a pile and only one person knows about it while the other toy section works stare at you blankly, even though the boxes has Masterpiece Skywarp on them.

Same thing happened to me.

1. Can you return/exchange an Open Skywarp is say it's defected a bit? I have some of his wing ends (The parts that fold back) defected and comes off too easily and his tail fin also comes off too easily. Not to mention he doesn't want to snap together so easily and leaves big ass gaps, mainy in the back where his legs connect in jet mode and the bottom where the wings connect to his arms (Even MP Starscream I have doesn't do that)
And the warning is QC might be a bit off with this figure or I must be unlucky enough to buy the one that has what seems to be the most defect in a toy since most these parts shouldn't just come off during the transformation so easy.

I'm sure you can exchange it.

I hope, aside from Universe Hot Shot and TFA Sunstorm I have never had Quality problems with any figure, even the Wal-Mart Starscream only has the hinge wear on his wings. But Skywarp has so many issues that messes up his Jet mode for me and I didn't buy that $5 replacementh plan (I'm not sure why they have that but I guess to BS you out of returns)
I just don't know what policy they have on opened toys with defects. Kinda hopping someone really knows so I don't get stuck with this one or even buying a new one for 60 more dollars.

Did you buy it online or at an actual store?

The new one is a LOT better quality. It still has the same problem as Starscream where he migh have the fragile wing hinges and where the speed brake on top doesn't connect all the way but it's a lot better then the last one which doesn't snap in right.

Here's a question: what the hell are they gonna do for someone that actually buys that plan and comes back 6 months from now to use it and these things are long gone? Pull a Hasbro and exchange it for a similar figure? Even though there are no similarly priced figures...

Mainly why I didn't buy it. It would be nice to get a replacement but useless unless Hasbro learned that people don't like flawed figures. We pretty much know why this nice figure is flawed because you need to handle it when transforming. Hell my Starscream had that hinge wear that should have been fixed, but sometimes even being careful with it is hard because of how you have to pull them off the pegs and what not to lift it.

I got mine today. I haven't taken him out of the box, as I had already exceeded my monthly TF budget. I had to convince the wife that I would open him up a different month in place of buying something else. The colors are better than the Takara version. Now I wish I had not put the stickers on my Takara Skywarp, as the glossy plastic makes his jet mode look very bad ass. Without the stickers, Takara Skywarp looks like a real F-15. Then I can leave the takara one in Jet mode and the Hasbro one in robot mode. I could also swap the heads so that the hasbro one has the unique Takara skywarp facial expression.

The Masterpiece Skywarp in Columbus, Ohio Walmart is $ 60.00 and there are several of them too. Most are in mint condition!

I'd believe it. I've seen them in multiple locations in GA and most have terrible paint apps. I think it was CP that mentioned a few weeks ago that you can really see the extra 30 dollars difference in the US and Japanese release and now that I've seen them, I totally agree. I wouldn't replace my Japanese version with this one.

It would be so bad though but it does take a while to find the perfect one that isn't broken or has fingerprints or smudges. The only problem is there be too many of these issues.
