Really! Then I'm either mistaken or was completely ripped off by Toys & Wheels.

OK.. I feel better knowing that loose parts are common. This will go into my queue of unopened and loose Transformers to sort out and display... been too busy lately as "life" is getting in the way of my Transformers playtime :-)

My A3U order just arrived. I will say if nothing else about them it was well packed and self promoting. Good thing I'm in a nice area since Canada Post just dropped it and ran. Glad I was home.

• Energon Driller with Bumblebee (Cyberverse Vehicle, 2013)
  • Series / Number: 3 / 003
  • Accessories: Two missiles, prod, saw, Eagleshot Bow, Energon Booster

Part of the second wave of Prime: Beast Hunters Series 3 Cyberverse Vehicle playsets, this is a redeco and minor retool of the Series 2 Driller, being cast primarily in yellow, black, and (unusually for a Series 3 Cyberverse product) translucent-blue plastics, and having its electronics removed. It comes with a redeco of Series 3 Legion Class Bumblebee. The Energon Booster is still included, albeit as a separate piece no longer connected to the rest of the Driller by a power cable. The Bumblebee Energon Driller was notoriously absent from US retail for many months after being available from online retailers and even appearing at retail in Hasbro's Asian and eventually European markets. It wasn't until much later that it finally became available through discount stores such as Ross.

Never released in Canada AFAIK.

Well, I got construct-bots Bulkhead and Unicron Megatron the other day.

One of Ratbat's wing pieces had a broken clip straight out of the bag, and now I've lost part of it somewhere in my room so attempted glueing is out.

I don't suppose anyone would have a spare from the set? One of the pieces of his saw mode blade to be precise.

I knew I wasn't going to like the change to c-clip only connectors, I just didn't realise product could be broken before I've even opened it.

I bought my TFC Dino Combiner from A3U and it arrived in 2 days. Personally, I had no issues with them.
