    ive found that as long as you always make sure your pulling the tab away in like a downward motion the plastic of the arms of the shovel are decent quality enough to flex a bit.are people just pulling the bucket straight forward out of foot mode? I can see if that breaks it,ive been flexing the tab downward and out and transformed him about 30 ish times with no issues.fantastic birthday gift though,hes bigger than my nephew

    Crazy Glue brand super glue isn't working. It seems sturdy until you plug the tab into the slot. Maybe it needs a slight filing of the tab to reduce the resistance? But too much filing and it makes it pointless. I think the glue might be bad (it's from the dollar store, go figure), so I'll look into maybe trying an epoxy.

    Does anyone know WHERE Long Haul's head tabs into for robot mode? Because I don't think mine does and I want to see where the problem is.

    I tried fixing the peg on hook with some spare model sprue but it was too tight a fit and I don't think I gave the glue enough time to dry so it got stuck in the hole. I tried getting it out with an xacto knife but I just pushed it in further so I could try making another makeshift peg out of sprue. I almost don't want to try anymore but losing that one bit of stability for devastator is annoying.

    Seems like the epoxy is holding so far. It tabbed into place without separating. If this fails, I'll have to look into one of those items that 'melts' the plastic to bond it.

    If there's anyone out there who doesn't want the purple thigh pieces that came with the Perfect Effect PC-06 upgrade for Combiner Wars Devasator, please PM me. I desperately want to buy them from you.

    Mine popped out and ended up on the floor. My dogs used it as a chew toy and I don't want to buy another whole upgrade set just to replace the little plastic thigh pieces.

    I live at zip code 21921. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

    My first Titan class and the very first full set of combiners I ever purchased over 20 years ago. I love this Devastator, particularly with the PE upgrade kits. It's great that now I've also got Omega Supreme to fight them!

    Has anyone ever made a pan upgrade for long haul that can cover that hole in his back and then split in half to cover his shins in robot mode which will make him look more like his g1 counterpart....

    I got mine just today. What an outstanding figure and to think he cost less than $200 is a steal considering how imposing, stable, and Gee Wunny he looks. He's a blast with core class figs.

    I'm only angry that his left hip ratchet is far too tight and scary.

    And also, I missed out on all of the upgrade kits that make him even awesomer. Ugggh. Quickly, everyone, let's bug DNA to reissue their upgrade kit I need that visor-less head stat.

    Yeah I had to rebuy him after selling him a few years back. Amazon had him for $150, and he's really a cool if far from perfect figure. I'm going to hunt down some of the upgrade kits and throw some reprolabels.

    Does the Scrapper shovel breakage only happen when disassembling him as a leg or can it also occur with having him in Devastator mode too long?
