Sorry that happened. Email*[email protected]*with your order number and the image. If they have the part in stock they'll be able to send it to you, if they don't, they have to manufacture a new one which can take a long time.

So, spare parts might be difficult to come by.
Thanks! I already wrote them an email yesterday. Let's wait for an answer... Another option to get the small piece missed (yellow triangle part on the back side of the leg) might be somebody getting a replacement and destroying by request the defective figure (hopefully the hammer not achieving that particular piece...
. If anyone gets to know that case, please, let me know it. Thanks!!!After reading through these posts, I decided to thoroughly go over my BB.
Yup....mine is missing a piece (hose) on its right waist.
Hhh...I'm not even going to bother getting a replacement. I'll just make the piece myself.

Glad it's nothing too major.

With so many pieces and fine details is very easy to oversee small parts missed. Actually, I cannot see where the missed piece is in your picture. Could you please indicate it (circle or arrow), please?

it took me quite a while to see what was missing. is it the small S like tube that's missing?
Thanks! I see it now. Not a big deal but I cannot understand how this may happen. They design a beautiful piece with many details but they do not pay attention to final control of the piece. I visited again to the distributor that sold me the figure because I decided to take home the one (of the two with missing pieces) that has only missed a yellow piece in the leg. I made a final checking only to discover that the right arm has a fracture on a yellow piece going from up to down. I finally decided to leave the figure to the distributor and wait if 3A Toys decides to send him a brand new figure. Let's see... First time that I buy a figure from 3A Toys and, most probably, the last one.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Honestly, I think the glue 3A used does not agree with the plastic.
My missing piece isn't in the box, nor laying somewhere around the figure. (Where Bee has been from day 1) So I feel it's safe to assume that all these missing pieces are laying on the factory floor.
Further evidence of this is that in my case there is still glue residue on the figure, along with an imprint of the missing part.
Not a big deal for me, but we pay premium prices for "premium" figures.
Apart from minor gripes, they're awesome.

i think i'm lucky enough to get all the bits and pieces intact.
anyway, i just thought it would be a good idea to gummi pfledge or honda grease those tires on his back.

I'd be concerned about the rubber reacting to the solution.
If anything, silicone oil would be best. It insulates and doesn't react with anything. (That's why they use it inside human bodies)
EDIT: After looking at some CGI renders of Bumblebee I realized that my figure's right knee pad was upside down.
Good thing the factory used super-cheap glue, as I was able to yank it off and re-glue it the correct way.
This is the 4th factory error with my piece, and it's starting to get annoying.

Late to the game with the ThreeA Stuff but managed to snag a new BB from animarket in HK paid a lot but looking at the reviews well worth it, next will be Optimus then megatron & starscream when it eventually ends up shipping. Gonna be an expensive few months 
Congrats on your score.
Rumor has it that more movie Transformers will follow, only they won't be from DOTM.
Here's a pic of my movie TF shelf.
really? where did you hear that ? that would be awesome to know they still have the interest in this stuff
Where did you get that lil spark?
This was from the mouth of...or should I say fingers Optibotimus on Youtube.
He has the inside track on 3A transformer news.
I bought mine on Ebay for $9.99 shipped. It's textured and comes with an even smaller Matrix of Leadership.
They're both made by 4Ever Studio and are very detailed for their size.
Anyone looking for this? I'm thinking of letting mine go.
