I was SO excited to finally get a decent Movie Decepticon Trio - to see that Scourge is so badly engineered and QC'd really disappoints me. Not worth the effort to hunt him down if it's that likely he's gonna be defective anyways and I'm gonna be chasing a replacement anyways. Well, I'll let you know how mine turns out and we'll see if my curse of avoiding most common QC issues continues.

As far as the thumbs breaking and the wrists not rotating... I see the problem. The wrists are SUPER tight. And with the premolded hand in the relaxed pose, you have to put pressure on that thumb to rotate it. This is a problem that will get resolved with later uses of the mold. Same with the shoulders. It's one of those rare cases where shit is REALLY tight. So until then, don't rotate the hands. (Do you really need to?) I think the poorly cut pins is a rare issue, thankfully.
As for the missing shit? Well, that just sucks. I have a friend on Twitter who's Scourge actually came without a freakin' eye. As in the eye piece in the head broke off during assembly.
So I'd say get your one Scourge... But if you need Sweeps, focus on the Titans Return Scourge for troop building.

So, got my SS Scourge. No QC issues for missing or damaged parts, but I can definitely feel the tighter tolerances than might be expected. If you hadn't told me his wrists are supposed to turn, I would've thought they were just molded that way. Overall, a good toy, but definitely less kid friendly than some other options, but not damaged or defective on my end. The streak continues.

Netflix Earthrise Optimus, on discount. (Damaged box.)
The darker blue colors makes it a perfect G2 Prime. I threw on a couple old Seacon blasters and damn... He looks perfect next to G2 Megs.

I was just thinking that same thing when I got mine. I noticed the blue was darker, then set them next to each other and "oh, damn, that works."

Scourge's wrists are an easy enough fix, you just need to file off the paint inside the joint. You'll never see it, but much like when painting a Gundam kit, the paint in on the joint is making it tighter. I may proactively disassemble and file down that and the shoulders just to be safe.
