Apparently, more than a handful of customers called to feedback the same problem to him but he said that the stocks he received are all the same. Out of the 90+ Mobirates he sold, only a few returned the defective toy - meaning that despite the sound issue, the Mobirates is still too popular for people to give them up, he concurred.
It's true, and I am not exaggerating because all the online stores are constantly sold out of Mobirates (Japanese versions though) even with restocks.
As for Bandai Asia and Sheng Tai Toys, he didn't heard of any recall or major complains so far. Therefore, there is nothing he could do at the moment except to kindly offer me an exchange.
The other agenda for the day would be the DX Narikiri Set (*Narikiri stands for Role-Play), which one fellow forum member reportedly bought recently. I was extremely interested in it because it contained the Ranger Key Set 01 which was sold out everywhere online as well and Uncle Ng couldn't secure any stock.
Bandai Japan is darn smart at messing around with collectors right?
Bought the set at S$100.00 since I got nothing to lose even if the Mobirates has soft sounds; it was a small gamble. At least, I would get the Ranger Key Set 01 and GokaiGreen + GokaiPink's Ranger Keys which is the whole point of this fanatic collecting. All in all, the set was exactly cheaper (than getting the 3 sets separately) by around S$15-20.
Buying batteries and testing the sounds on the spot was particularly edgy, but turned out that the Mobirates worked fine with the uncle rather amazed. I was quite lucky to secure 1 out of the total 6 sets he got in before it was sold out. Yay, for awesome Mobirates sounds!
As for the Mobirates I bought earlier, I was thinking of exchanging it for either the S.H. Figuarts ShinkenGold or DX Pat-Striker whichever stock arrives first.
