    Not sure what can realistically be done personaly, nothing really comes to mind. Just got my quakeblast from him 2 weeks ago no problem... Seems like they all can go rogue, so it is the luck of the draw... I just bought some Dr Wu swords from a chineese seller not even on the list... and received it in a week in Canada!!! Sometimes, even the little ones can be nice to deal with until they decide to go rogue, which i have a feeling now is a matter of time.

    Up to now, the safest have been Baba and Netclow. Netclow even has a facebook which you can like and see updates, so i feel most confident myself with Netclow, and he ships good. So i guess these two are top bet (but they could always change), then, luck of the draw!!!

    I just wonder what the difference is between listing a seller as Good vs. also tagging them as Legit...

    When I look at that list I assume "good" is anon sellers that are filling orders correctly, and "legit" is some higher standard where it's saying they definitely won't turn scammer because they know who the person is that runs the eBay account in some capacity (they're not some faceless person).

    I only stick with sellers like baba and netclow so it doesn't really affect me, but maybe there should be some description of what is "good" vs "legit" along with that post.

    Is it just mine, or does Grindor's dino head have a slight upward tilt? I want him to just look straight ahead...but the slightest touch and head looks back up toward the sky...

    there is an extra click. Just push down hard and it'll go straight. Any idea on when the new dino head will be released?

    I do that, and it works...but the slightest tap upward and it pops back up. Is that normal?

    Are there any issues with this figure? Someone mentioned an arm popping off.

    One of my T-rex arms pops off but it's a minor annoyance. Grinder is still my favorite figure to date.

    Nothing widespread. It's my favorite figure to date as well (taking into account my love for Grimlock in general). It's right up there with Stomp in terms of quality and engineering.

    Hmm, I'm going with the same supplier you did, so there is a good chance I might get the same issue.

    I don't really need to pose those little T-Rex arms, so as long as it's not at some weird angle, I just leave it as it is.

    It's a quirk with the ratchet mechanism. Try unscrewing it and re-assembling and it should be fine. There are small bits and screws so do be careful.

    So I came home to this "greeting" courtesy of my 9 year old son. Seems he discovered old Grimmy has individually articulated fingers. Nice.
