    i'm sorry if this is in the wrong section I just wasnt ure where to put it

    about a year ago the ball sockect on the left shoulder on my tfa bumblebee cracked i thought it was nothing and let it be, but recently the crack got bigger and about a third of the socket broke off making it impossable to keep the arm attacted iv'e tried some super glue to re-attach the peice but to no avail, does anybody have any ideas on what to do?

    You might try gently removing all the super glue & it's residue using a mild solvent (alcohol...?), then try using rubber cement or tile glue.

    Whichever you try - remember to let it cure/set for around 24 hours before you re-mount the arm...

    But you might be looking at simply trying to replace him...:eek:

    Not worth the trouble. Just get another one when they go on sale.
