X Wing Cannon Issue

Post by farmboynz »

If you like me purchased one of the new X wings and loved the colour but was a little disappointed with droopy, I have some news

have received this back from Hasbro

Hi Chad
I forwarded your email to our Marketing team and they advised that it had been discovered there was an issue in production.
They will keep us updated.
In the meantime they are hoping to supply us with replacement cannons.
I will let you know as any updates come to hand.

Kind regards

bring on rogue one, episode 8 and what ever else they have in stall for us :D

I have droopy cannons too, but I just put it down to my age.

On a side note, the back seat on my trooper snowmobile doesn't sit flush in its slots, so it bends at a convex angle. I tried fiddling with it, but I didn't want to break it so it's back in its box for now.

Maybe it's childproof....

update, if you have an issue with them email Hasbro and they will put you on the list

they still don't know how they are going to fix it but best to get your name on the list
will also need proof of purchase
email is nzcustomerservices@ap.hasbro.com

I had the same problem but before I attached them I ran them under a hot tap and then slowly bent them back in place. Once cooled they set to their correct shape :D

Needless to say, I I'm having fun with these new vehicles :lol:

I had a stormtrooper figure from Kenner that looked like it'd had a stroke, but I kept on playing, which I'm sure the kids are doing with these new offerings...

Nice fix, too, Fred!
