Man, that's the third G1 Japanese figure we've bought which was sealed, but incomplete. Grrr.
Lodoni, the sixth Japanese Headmaster figure, and final one we needed, was finally purchase at BotCon for $150 (more than we paid for the other heads, but I thought a good price considering where we were). Anyway I was photographing various toys from our BotCon haul, and after opening Lodoni, sho was sealed, and starting to photograph him, I realised he was missing half of his back.
It's really annoying, as I want to get a complete figure, as he looks odd in head mode, and a bit strange in Robot mode. At least our Hardcopy Highbrow can have a permanent head I guess (well once we get a replacement Lodoni).
So, which TFs have you bought which were missing parts (only new or Sealed items that is)?
We've had
1x Japanese cassette (I forget the name) Grey TRex = 2 left guns G1 Stepper - missing backpack for holding nebulan Lodoni - missing "head flap" SCF Ramjet (two left wings - and I got them straight from e-Hobby)
I'm sure there are more

My G1 Ultra Magnus I had as a kid came with two left hands and no right hand and it really upset me having an inferior TF...

I very lucky in that I've never had this happen. Having said that I wait with caution for Botcon Classics Dirge after hearing the about problems with that figure's launchers.

I remember the issue we had with the E-Hobby cassettes, but that got sorted when they sent new weapons from the factory. Other than that I would always be nervous buying any vintage stuff sealed, just for this reason.
