I just got the entire team from Big bad and they have a wave set package of the 4 limbs for 65 dollars

 

I think I'm better off hunting second-hand copies, plus since i live in the philippines it's most likely the cheaper option.

 

I'm having a bear finding a set of the protectobot wave ( wave 3) or the Hound/ Wheeljack wave set ( Wave 6) AT ALL much les for a reasonable price.

And cant find ANY singles really for retail.

Starting to think I may have to add a computron set to my watch/ wait list and get that with G2 Menasor and Superion ( with a G1 Silverbot to make Superion a little lighter color mix) if I want to tray and fill out the other Scramble city guys, get some mix and match options. ant that plan still leaves me with no protectobots.

 

Hey to all the guys who owned Dead End, do you guys know how to fix the arms? The right arm on my figure moves too easily. It's the hinge btw. Not the balljoint.

 

Do any of you have the reprolabels on both Computrons? I want to know what my mix matched version will look like before a drop of money on both sticker sets.

 

I wish I could help you friendo, the only problem I've had with my Dead End is his legs coming apart in Combined mode occasionally.

 

Sounds like a generic screw/joint issue more than anything.

 

Ahh, I see. Is there a way I could fix that?

 

Maybe?

 

I'll see tomorrow then since I don't have access.

 

I don't understand this statement.   

 

Some Pledge should fix that right up, though you'll probably want a toothpick to really work it into the joint itself for best results. If it's still a bit loose after you've given it about a day to dry and cure, just apply some more.

 

Ive been needing to ask how that works since I have a few here and there that could use tightening. The joints with screw type fasteners are easy just crank down on em a few good turns. I really wish Hasbro didn't use those rivet fasteners though, they aren't " Designed for maintainability" per the Integrated product support, product service elements defined in DoD regulation AR-700-127

...lol wut.

But anyway they are bound to just loosen with age and you guys all seem to swear by the Pledge method. Is there a tutorial out there?

 

Not necessarily Pledge, but the acrylic in the product is the one that helps with tightening joints.

 

twin peaks reference

 

I know Vangelus did a video on it using the UW Stunticons, but really you just dip your preferred applicator into the liquid and paint or drip it into the surface of whatever you want to tighten. Work the part around a bit to ensure an even spread, and then let it sit for about a day to fully cure. You can apply it without disassembling the part or risk of the part becoming permanently fused together, though it won't work for everything.

You'll also want to clean your applicator of choice if you don't intend to dispose of it after your done, naturally. Just running it under some water should work.

 

I know it's a Twin Peaks reference, but I don't get what he meant by it. Oh, well.

Some Defensor action, because it seems like the poor guy always gets forgotten about. He never even got a G2 release or a CW boxed set.

 

You actually got two Defensors?

 

Yup. Two Defensors, two Superions, two Bruticuses, and some further redundacy between Computron, Sky Reign, and Betatron. Originally, I wanted to display one set separated and one set combined, at least in the case of the first three.

 

See season 3 of Twin Peaks, sorry if the reference was obtuse
