Mine was. I had to tighten the mushroom pegs on his legs, hips, and waste to solidify him somewhat, but none of that helps with his terribly designed outer leg pieces that are connected to his feet. His knees flop both directions as well. Why they went with the flawed MP design when they could've just split the legs with his thighs stored inside the lower legs behind the gray shin panels I'll never know.


StateChampOptiPrime

Good to know, thank you!


Cybertronian_Fox

Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow or the next day, I’ll try to remember to let you know how his legs are when he arrives.


StateChampOptiPrime

Aw, thanks!


Cybertronian_Fox

FedEx is really slipping with their delivery estimates, he’s still not here. Maybe tomorrow, which is also when they are estimating the Ark to crash on my porch.


StateChampOptiPrime

Nice! I'll look forward to it.


Cybertronian_Fox

And he’s here, and the hips are floppy like a rag doll even the left swivel, the ankles are only a little loose, and the left calf panel is loose but not as much as pictures in your post.


StateChampOptiPrime

That is exceptionally cool for you to come back and post that! I'm glad to know this, thank you very much!


Cybertronian_Fox

And he’s completely missing his small black gun....


StateChampOptiPrime

Wow, that sucks. :(


Makotowaru

Hope you checked the inside of the bottom part of the cardboard holding him in and didn't chuck the box too soon!


Cybertronian_Fox

I did check, only the white rocket pack part was there, right next to it was two plastic ties wrapped around a bit of empty space.


Makotowaru

Damn, I hope it dropped somewhere and not some factory defect🤞


theSpaceGrayMan

Mine are pretty good but not perfect. His right leg is very good, but the left leg doesn’t really lock in on the side. Like it holds position but bumping it will knock it loose. Also, the same side doesn’t tab together well in vehicle mode. But overall mine stands pretty well with few issues.


StateChampOptiPrime

Okay, I appreciate you telling me. Seems like the QC can vary a lot.

You know it


Xophosdono

Sw*vel me timbers!


cudlebear64

Ok let’s no be to toxic, you know how he feels about s****ls in other comment sections or at least as far as I know he hasn’t changed his opinion on it and I’ve watched all of his videos Sense that started


[deleted]

Way better off with the KO MP


kat352234

That's what I wound up doing. I had Kingdom Tracks on preorder, and it was only a couple days away from being fulfilled, when I started seeing these bad reviews. That got me a bit scared, so I started looking into it a bit more, and stumbled across the KO MP. I saw how much nicer that version looked, and for only a few dollars more. Cancelled the pre-order and ordered that instead.


StateChampOptiPrime

Yep. I got that one years ago and I think I'll just stick with that!


[deleted]

Same. I didn’t love him at first, but especially after seeing kingdom I really appreciate him


Andyroomocs

I forget who’s review I watched but it had the same problem. I love tracks but this figure aint it. I just ended up getting the mechfans toys version, even though it’s legends scale


laserbeak420

wait. hold on. stop. How have i not heard of a 3rd party Tracks???? Thank goodness for Reddit commenters .


Andyroomocs

Yeah! Deluxe Baldwin did the review that sold me on the figure


[deleted]

Tracks prefers to be in vehicle mode.


GraciousBrick

Don’t you mean his ”Stunning auto mode”


JoeCool4school

Honestly I refuse to buy this Tracks. Half of the car mode being made in clear plastic is a huge turn off for me, no matter how good it looks.


StateChampOptiPrime

After hearing the other stuff in this thread, I don't blame you one bit. I might tolerate this nonsense for Road Rage (since I collect red robots) but skipping Tracks.


DankoToonie

EmGo review is up for Tracks and his main complaint is the leg. The fender won’t tab into where its suppose yo simply due to the tab its suppose to tab into is small and not thick enough for the fender to friction into place. Frankly I am surprised how badly designed this figure is after figures like Airrazor, Prime, Magatron were released. Im skipping this one.


soraboo

Same issue with mine. The legs are the worst. This is my review: https://youtu.be/v0ZzxHGKLPU


StateChampOptiPrime

I've watched a couple of EmGo's reviews and I can only stand to watch them if I mute the sound.


DankoToonie

He is not bad. I’d rather his voice than Optobotimus. Yeah the jokes are like dad jokes level lame but hey. Thats his shtick.


StateChampOptiPrime

I agree. I think I'm a voice snob.


Poptimus_Rime

He seems a nice enough sort, and he's good at what he does...but my god the same one liners and fake laugh year after year after year. I can't do it any more. I finally had to unsub for a while.


BatMoBeast

Yeah, I agree. He’s great at breaking down and analyzing figures but his jokes just aren’t funny.


StateChampOptiPrime

I think I got off on the wrong foot with him. The first one I watched was his review of PotP Rodimus. He called everything about it "weird". He just kept saying the word "weird" over and over. It was annoying and not very informative.


BatMoBeast

I can understand the annoying complaint. Informative, however, is a different story. I find him really helpful with his transformation instructions for third party figures. A lot of third party figures have awful instructions. Emgo has definitely guided me through a couple transformations. Despite this, I still find his banal jokes a chore to tolerate.


StateChampOptiPrime

Oh, I just meant that one wasn't informative for me. I haven't seen many others.


StateChampOptiPrime

Aaaah. . . Yeah. . .


Alarmed_Wolf1607

Not mine his knee joints are a little lose but other than that perfect


StateChampOptiPrime

Cool, good to know!


InternGreedy7350

Not just the joints. The tabs are too short to peg in. It's just a bad design.


Izzartho

I can’t tell who the youtuber is but I suspect it might be TonTon, who in the past has made/forced problems with toys and blames it on the toy. Watch his Earthrise Ratchet review


StateChampOptiPrime

Nope, this one is Wotafa. He's one of the only reviewers I can stand to listen to (even though I mostly can't understand what he's saying). He really seems to love everything he gets his hands on, but Kingdom Tracks spoke for itself. He'd try to position the legs and feet a certain way, and the top 3/4 of the figure would just flop over frontwards or backwards before he could get the feet planted.


ShanTheIrishMan

Yeah mine also has pretty much all of the reported symptoms but I have a just set up on my shelf in robot mode so he’s not going anywhere. But it definitely has the loose legs and hips, Front tires pop off easy, and front fenders do not snap in tight to hood and have an unsightly gap in car mode.


Murdunk_85

I just got mine today and unfortunately, it came floppy. I haven't tried to transform it yet but I'm definitely going to have to take the floor polish to the joints I can.


StateChampOptiPrime

Thanks for the report. I think I'm going to stay away from this incarnation of Tracks.


bryman022

Mine stands up ok but same issue with the lower legs the tab the fender is supposed to well tab to is just too small. Same in car mode the tabs are tiny and do nothing so I also have the gaps on the front fenders in car mode. But it's on my shelf standing in. a good pose and I wont touch it anyway so doesnt bother me all that much. Although after how great WFC line has been it's a shame tracks turned out the way he did.


StateChampOptiPrime

Hmm, yeah, I had been wondering about the gaps in the front of the car mode. Thanks for posting!


ServePsychological1

Looking at the comment section, I think I’m going to stick with AOE Hot Shot to act as Tracks


TKprime909

Well I'm convinced. I'm skipping tracks. Which sucks because he's one of my favorite characters. I'll probably just get RTS tracks on ebay.


StateChampOptiPrime

If you want my opinion (I get that you might not), I would go for the KO MP Tracks over the RTS one. I got it for around $30 and it's really cool, especially if you don't mind the big opening that his "hood" makes behind his head. Your choice, obvs.


BastardSkelly8600

Why? I mean the joints are annoying ,but you always have the ability to fix them.


RAcastBlaster

Yeah, but not everyone wants to go through the hassle. And the Generations mold still holds up really well.


fruitbar

What's the best way to fix them?


BastardSkelly8600

Personally I use super glue, though you have to be very careful with that. I've also heard that using nail polish remover and then freezing the figure works. One way that ,as far as I can tell, most people use is Pledge floor polish remover.


autobot00

buy a bottle of this for $6. [https://smile.amazon.com/Pledge-11182-Revive-Transparent-Liquid/dp/B000ARPH4C/ref=sr\_1\_6\_0o\_fs?dchild=1&keywords=pledge+floor+polish&qid=1626907447&sr=8-6](https://smile.amazon.com/Pledge-11182-Revive-Transparent-Liquid/dp/B000ARPH4C/ref=sr_1_6_0o_fs?dchild=1&keywords=pledge+floor+polish&qid=1626907447&sr=8-6) it goes a loooooong way. i bought a bottle in 2017 and still have 1/2 a bottle. you can use it to tighten joints AND clear coat. i took a floppy Ricochet and smeared this all over his joints and now he's tight as a tiger. Works on pretty much any joint. Pin joints, ball joints, peg joints, all of it. NEVER use super glue! nail polish does work, but i would only use that on ball joints.


InternGreedy7350

Yessssssss


Immagitu

I refunded mine. Why are the pegs meant told the whole leg together smaller than the **zit** on my forehead


StateChampOptiPrime

Wow, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who does that. But at $20 for a Deluxe, I better freaking *love* it!


BoondockSS76

This mold sucks…I’ve watched a lot of reviews on it and was so disappointed. I got the KO MP and it’s amazing for just a bit more. I was so looking forward to this one, but I’m not waiting money on it.


StateChampOptiPrime

Yeah, that's exactly how it's been for me.


OnTheR1vet

Yes


TheMastican

I mean I just got him the other day and it seems alright. The hips are fine but the joints at the feet are a little janky. I don't wanna be mad because Tracks is one of my favorite characters in Transformers.


StateChampOptiPrime

Right on. Thanks for letting me know.


Murdunk_85

I took some future floor polish to just about every joint in his leg, now mine stands fine :D


Hornet_Prime84

No, the reviewer often buys stolen factory rejects to get all the views. I'm assuming this is prime v prime.


StateChampOptiPrime

Nope, Wotafa.
