At 240$CAN plus taxes, that's one more reason to wait for a sale.

Looks like there is one already, albeit this isn't known to be a widespread issue.
Unscrewing the four screws in the back of the crotch piece, a user was able to supply this picture, where the image on the left is the problem, and the picture on the right is the correct position.

That IS a QC issue. This is a missassembled part. Something that should have been built and inspected correctly.

Fortunately this part doesn't look too difficult to reproduce in CAD and 3D print with ABS plastic.

Change "not buy anymore" to "not pre-order anymore." Why limit yourself? Just wait and see how the general quality will be. Furthermore, MPM toys are expensive but are widely available everywhere and WILL go on sale sooner or later. So, no rush.

Nope, but mine function with no problems, so I have had no need, and did not know about the "error" until I was catching up on this thread tonight. and I've had Bonecrusher for a week and a half now.

You were lucky.
Still, the problematic part seems to be standard so anyone like me who have a big box-O-scraps on hand can find a replacement inner ratchet 0 part easily.

The final bot is mind-boggling and is way, WAY more screen accurate than is previous 3P counterpart. Just amazing. Well worth the money compared to Megatron and Starscream.
Also, mine didn't had the hip issue.
