You are absolutely correct FreakyDude! You ssrc30 should give them a call ,we pay good money for these toys and with our layed back attitude this is way they don't have such good quality control.THEY look at it as there is no need cause they know we wont complain because we are only going to up grade them any way.and they are going to make even more money so why bother. But when you complain there is a good chance they will help solve the problem.
