It's actually very easy. The reconstructive surgery for whoever did the hitching is tricky, but the physical trailer attachment is pretty straightforward for anyone who's ever used a dog cart.

I love the Predaking, but Quality Control being what it's been, I am preordering NOTHING for the moment, I want to see in-hand reviews. And if it's preorder only, I am very likely to miss out right now. Finances aren't great and I will be better served missing a neat one than wasting money on a...

Speaking of needing an outfit, for those like me who don't have a TR Fortress Maximus at hand, I think I've found an alternative for Plasma:

I'll test that out...looks like my usual sizes are too big. Thank you!

Nuts. Flikr just changed its rules and I really don't want to pay for image hosting right now.

Edit: Trying the image imbed, WOW, I need to work on the resizing...Let see how this looks.

Ow. Also, doing an experiment attaching the file rather than linking the picture as flikr no longer shows full sizes. Edit: Thank you, that works better! I've always been hesitant to do direct uploads, though, I know file space costs money.

Just checked, and yep, I've been lucky, NONE of my known problem-bots have a crack issue, even on the clear bits. They also never skip leg day. Edit: AND HIS HANDS MUST BE BLUE!!! Edit to edit: odd thing, I set aside some blue 'Jetfire' type blast effects, but the fire truck nozzles...

I loved the Toyhax set with the window towers, I know some thought it was too much, but it and a few of the original sheet combined were great. I also trimmed the edge of a sticker sheet to frame the chest door edge, and that stopped the flop. On the other hand, I do see the appeal of never...

Don't worry, all of us are having to come to terms with Optimus having a serious crack problem, and the plastic surgery he needs to get that sorted out. Doesn't help that his wingman needs it too or he could go to pieces. On a happier note, post sanding mine is holding up fine, and I realized...

"I can't deal with that cow." -At my nephew's, started improvising with his stuff as it's different than mine.

I agree, this is a case where MISB is not the way to go. You can deal with customer service now if needed. Later it will be too late.

Ugh...just so everyone knows, there is ANOTHER part of Optimus in this set to watch, it has a miniature version of Trypticon's issues. The hip forwards/backwards ratchet springs (ACTUAL METAL SPRINGS!) are so strong they can damage the ratchet teeth or even force the plastic apart, breaking the...

I was thinking the Prime rifle from the accessory pack, but I think it works great with Fire Truck Optimus from this set (pics in the Picture Thread). It's not easy to get a good image of it proportionally, though. It looks a lot more off than it is. The Fire Convoy design was actually my...

I saved the big Prime rifle from the accessory pack for this day (not really, just a coincidence) The QC issues are annoying, I had to so far fix the UM wings and Prime chest, but the set itself is really nice. I also have a spare Animated Prime axe (despite having never had the figure) that...

Then both would explode when combined due to an overly strong spring in the Powermaster gimmick somehow merging with the '-bomber' part of the name. No one knows how it was possible, but the parts firing through the side of the box to release a shower of vac-metalized dust flaking off the...

I did do some light sanding on Magnus's wing posts and added some Cube Lube, seems to have helped a lot and still locks in place, but without feeling like I will crack the casing. So far Optimus is still holding up, we'll see. I do plan to change it a lot in this week so I can report it if it...

Magnus's wings are worrisome, not sure how to fix their 'get stuck so tight I feel plastic bending' issue around the posts.

Mine looks good too so far. The suggested box ratchet removal was simple but seems to make the waist sag easily, I may put it back.

Well, that explains both the multiple-tariff confusion, as they're importing from everywhere, and also puts to rest the concept that Hasbro wouldn't abandon the American market, or would somehow globally distribute prices to support it. They will, and they won't. If American markets are...
