Get off your fracking high horse. I try to answer the worries everyone has been having. I work with the HT official distributor here. My word is as good as them coming from HT themselves.

Pictures? Someone else will be posting them soon enough. Being the distributor here doesn't mean I have the right to just rip open one box of MK VI to take pictures and then put them back in the box.

No high horse and nothing personal...

But...

I have the 1st release Mk VI and simply "bending" the pegs or making them at a different wouldn't fix the issue.

Myself, and others, have attempted to fix the faulty chest plates and it takes much more than what you are describing. So like I said earlier, until I see that it really is fixed instead of hearing that the pegs are bent, I will remain skeptical.

As far as pictures are concerned, that comment was directed at the guy who actually posted a picture just before you said you got your shipment and the fix is "simple." And even in the picture he posted, the chest plate isn't flush like it should be, it's still sticking out a bit...

Here another pic from "quicksilver" from the "same international batch"

BD chest protruding as with HK's first batch.... I'll hopefully get my copy from the "same batch soon".

 

[Centurion]

Oh hell. That ain't fixed.

Calm down guys. The fix is permanent. Maybe saying that they bend it upwards is the wrong word to use.

Let me clarify. The position of the pegs on the new BD chest and the old BD chest is the same. However, on the new BD chest, the pegs are angled upwards now.

One thing I can say is that is that the pegs are staying that way for good. They are not going to "unbend".

Thanks for sharing this good news to us noise!

I personally took this pics with my crappy camera phone. I need to calm everyone down with cold hard proof before this board implodes because one guy did not push his BD chest all the way in.

It's hard to see but you can tell the pegs on the BD chest are pointed upwards now.

These two pics should put to rest whether it's fixed or not. Looks pretty flush to me.

Another reason why I never ever buy the first international release of anything when I can wait for the North America release where most things will get fixed. Too many quality problems with international releases.

looks flush to me nice!

 

[bandito]

As such.... they are angled differently since initial HK release (pic dated mid-february)... so there is no changes since HK's release.... maybe if the BD pins are sanded smaller it'll be more fitting

 

[ElekTriC]

from what i can tell they are a bit lower then the first

I think I missed afew pages here. What were the problems with the Mark VI that have delayed it's release?

NOW, that looks fixed. Thanks for the pics to show the change Noisetrigger......

I'll ask again. Anyone with history ordering from BBTS, how far behind SSC do they ship product?

Also, same question for toys2.

 

[bandito]

HT may have just made the holes in the chest bigger, instead of any adjustment to the pins on the BD chest plate

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

it was my understanding that toys2 got them earlier than everyone else in NA but BBTS gets them shortly after

As for the BD chest, it definitely looks flush but the pegs look the same...oh well, as long as it works like it should I'll be happy with me 3

Not always the case. With Berserker Predator, the later batches' torsos were painted much sloppier than the first batch. Whatever stamping tools they used to apply the paint likely wore down from use, causing there to be more missed spots in the later figures.

Word. There's no sure-fire way to avoid QC. 1st batch, 2nd batch, its all random. I mean look at how many HT figures go out and are just fine for both batches...

First off there is nothing to calm down. Folks are simply chatting it up. Its appreciated you taking the pictures and showing us that it looks fine but the board wasn't going to implode. We talk about errors and if they'll get fixed as much as how awesome stuff is.
