Mine was a tad lose but I tighted the "track screws" and they work great now.

 

Are you sure you are not hitting the metal peg in the back where the top half and bottom meet?

 

I received the full set yesterday... I transformed only Thrust and is awesome !!

I got mine Thursday and didn't get to open them until yesterday. Haven't had a chance to do much with them but drool at how amazing the jet modes look. Hopefully I'll get to transform and "play" with them more tonight.

 

Oh man, I couldn't wait! I have transformed them twice already the first day I got 'em.  

 

Yeah, for some reason I don't think your wife would go for having those on display there..... lol =)

I don't think his wife has a choice, uhhh..... assuming he's the one wearing the pants!

 

And some people like to respect their partners wishes, even if that means no toys in the living room.  

Just like when I'm done playing around, I'll be taking my toys off of the coffee table.



Kind of a crappy pic, but it's hard getting that much awesome in to one pic.  

 

I noticed that igear doesn't have Thrust for sale anymore, and TF Source has less than 60 of Thrust and Dirge, I didn't check Ramjet. I pulled the trigger on Thrust and Dirge to complete my squadron.

 

What's funny is that she initially thought I was rearranging the display on the mantle permanently. I should have played along . . . .

. . . . but anyone married long enough understands that marriage is compromise and submission to one another. I have a nice display already in the living room for my movie toys (since they're movie themed, and one of our common interests is "movies"). Also, I have a spare room ("man cave") dedicated to Transformers. I'd say I'm very blessed already  

While I do very much "wear the pants", a successful marriage certainly isn't a dictatorship on either end. Wives, submit to your husbands/husbands love your wives. Also, words of wisdom: "Happy wife = happy life"

Also, while the mantle is cool, it's not where I want 'em  

   

I totally feel ya there! I had to go panoramic all on these Seekers this time around! Awesome photo!

 

Does anyone knows why BBTS doesn't carry these coneheads?

 

Probably because of "stolen mold" issues with the official MP Seeker figures. BBTS doesn't have a problem with original molded figures, though, like PP05 van brothers or the Kup heads.

 

I'm lucky enough to share an interest in LEGO Star Wars with my wife, so we have a shared display shelf of those in the living room. And I also have a spare room dedicated to my transformers. Also, I was just told I can keep my MP Seekers out in the living room too! On a couple of smaller shelves in the corner, but they're out there. Lol

 

Finally fixed mine, but it still has stress marks im afaid of...

Since i took them apart i decided to paint their face like i did ramjet!
what ya think?

 

^ Nice, they look much better with painted faces than with those unpainted black ones!

 

Its just not Not-Thrust without the wings on the legs.

 

You think TFSource will sell all three as a package again?

 

How did you do that?!??!

 

Yeah...I want to buy them but would much rather buy them as a set of 3. Also, why is it $440 on iGears site?!?

 

I took the wings out of their housing (this was the hardest part since the maroon pieces are glued to the housing and are covering a screw). I drilled a hole in the sliding part of the leg and glued a peg in it. The wings peg on securely and can be moved back to their housing for transformation. The only drawback is that now there are black pegs sticking out of the top of the plane mode, however, I didn't buy Attack for the plane mode, so that's irrelevant to me.
