    Does it say if these parts are permanently attached or add-on bits that have no other use?

    Not interested in the latter.

    The kit seems to fix more problems than I really had, all I need is the wobbly knees/legs tightened up a bit and I'll be good. The extra should width is nice I guess.

    Might get this kit if there's still no good official Liokaiser from Takara by the end of POTP.

    You have no idea how ecstatic I am right now.

    Anything I need to watch out for to combine him?

    Anyone know what the baggie of extra pieces Guyhawk/Aiakos came with is? Extra connector pegs & rubberbands?

    I do indeed know how you feel. That first time is overwhelming, I have to be honest.

    As for watching out... I'd not use Jailguar's arms in combined mode like the instructions say to. There are tiny pegs that will snap off with time. His arms aren't actually needed for combination. (You'll see what I mean when you go to form the torso.)

    The extra pieces are replacement pieces in case Jailguar's knee connectors snap off. (If you're extremely careful, they shouldn't.)

    Actually, if you just twist some polishing grade sandpaper around those pegs they go in and out no problem and make the torso way more solid

    Holy sh**.

    I noticed the connector pegs go in smoother if they're at an angle. I'll definitely pick up some of that sandpaper, because those Jallguar arm pegs didn't want to go into Leozack's arm holes, and I wasn't about to force it. It was difficult enough to connect them in the center.

    I also just got the last two members of Prometheus, so I'm about to head to my storage unit to get my 3rd Party bin and put him together for the first time, and get their brothers all together as well. Try to do a massive group pic. :D

    I love Prometheus' look, and Scramble-capabilities, but man, the limbs were impossible to connect, even harder to disconnect, and the ankles in the feet were so loose, the combined form was impossible to stand. :redface2:
