Thundertank cockpit finally fixed?
I bought a thundertank from toys r us on friday that was apparently shipped on wednesday.
My cockpit seems to work great, opens fine is not loose. Maybe they are working on fixing issues as they go along? |
That's good to hear. I really didn't feel like figuring out a way to keep the thing on for my son.
|
I opened my thundertank and tested out its functions although its primary function is looking great on my shelf.
I have seen alot of complaints on this issue and while I have not seen the problem would like to see more who share my experience before saying for sure the issue is fixed:) Hoping for the 4 inch figures to come to shelves soon so i can have a proper thundercat driving rather than snarf. |
Glad to hear that they got the kinks worked out.
|
I am curious if I should try to exchange mine ? I plan to display it with panthro inside when I get my display cabinet. I don't want to pull my hair out trying to get the cockpit working.
I am sure mine was an early model as it was one of the first to hit Georgia. |
I spoke with Bandai and they said they indeed fixed this problem...so the newer versions on the Tank should be better
|
mine that I just opened is extremely loose - I am ok with it though. I figure better that than one of the kids breaking it
|
The hatch being fixed is nice to know, but I have to say, now that we've had a pretty good look at it from last nights episode, the color scheme on the toy bothers me much more than it used to. I could get it and just paint it myself, but this is an instance where I would rather not paint it myself. Not sure how likely it is to happen, but the one way I might get the tank at full retail, would be if it got a repaint into it's show-accurate colors.
Something similar can be said about Panthro's toys, which are much more blue than he actually is on-screen. Part of me is hoping for a running change to his figures (if nothing else, at least the nunchucks). Anybody else feel the same way? or am I just being too picky, lol... |
Do you have the date code on your box?

Eh, I'm happy with the Thundertank I've got.
|
Where would the date code be ?
|
yeah I would also like to know how to tell a correct tank from an incorrect tank.
I also want a panthro with corrected nunchucks. I know they went with grey as they didn't know if the toon was going to have the red/blue like the original version but now that they know I want a correction. |
I bought a Thundertanks as soon as it came out. I have no problems with it what so ever.
|
Anyone seeing any changes with later released tanks and the parts staying on?

http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ristmas003.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ristmas048.jpg The first three pictures show the Thundertank with date code that would have been from the first production run. Unfortunately, I threw the box away after I got it. The pegs that the cockpit attach too are much smaller and do not keep the cockpit securely attached to the body. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ristmas019.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ristmas018.jpg The top two pictures show a Thundertank with date code: 0537460701 The pegs have been re-worked and protrude more. Notice how you can see the pegs while looking straight at the cockpit vs the other one. Once attached, the cockpit stays snugly attached. |
bump again
Go get your fixed Tanks! |
Thundertank is cruddy. customized the heck outta mine. Mostly just for display...unfortunately I should have waited. Bought mine pretty early....

On a side note, if anyone wants my old cockpit door for customizing, let me know. I would just ask you pay for the shipping to get to you...otherwise I'm going to throw it out. |
