    Dammit, mine won't do that, the front pieces won't go flush and the hinge rests on the ground, rather than the front wheels...There's nothing that can make it slide back or anything, right ?

    The best I can advise is to fiddle with it and look for anything that might be getting in the way. Mine goes into place almost effortlessly. Soo there has to be a reason yours is not.

    If you pull the grill guard all the way down, you will see a pin in the opening. Try cutting that off, it could be in the way.

    Do yours even come that far forward, like mine? If not, it's a QC issue on mine :/

    Having really bad luck...Leader Sentinel Prime's left shoulder won't stay tabbed in, Leader Ironhide's left shoulder won't stay tabbed in and HA Barricade's bumpers won't go in place .. TT___TT

    I wish I could do better for you. But its really hard to fix something like that without having it in hand, ya know?

    I'll just try messing with him more, although I don't see anything happening about it...if all else fails, I'll shave that grill-hinge down a little and cut the guns off entirely....just to provide clearance for rolling...

    Suddenly, I'm afraid I got a KO O____o Is there any comparison guide to check or anything?

    I have never seen comparison pics. It's very possible you got a KO.

    I think that's actually a fairly common issue. Mine pops out easily but it stays tabbed if I don't move it so I just stick it back in after I move the arm.

    Got my Barricade yesterday off of ebay for £40. He was a mess to begin with. Windows are loose at the hinges and won't close properly, top left wheel wasn't fitted in properly (had to unscrew it and fit in myself), left leg was missing a screw at the knee joint (took a screw from FOC Sideswipe's big gun and put it in there. It's silver instead of black but it does the job), head doesn't lock in place and the mouth gimmick doesn't work that well. Frenzy is all good though and Police on the spoiler does split in the middle of the L like it should. I still think mines a kock off though becasue the front bumper parts of the car that swivle stick out like this:

    But i can't complain too much as it's the only one i'm likely to get, and at a good price. And with the knee fixed and the front wheel fitted properly he's not all the bad.

    I just ordered one! He's on ebay brand new for $64 shipped right now and the buyer has about 7 left if anyone's interested. Ships from Hong Kong I think.

    Well, if it comes from China, it definitely is. (Not a racist remark, we all know where these things come from and all the 'cheap' (ko) ones usually offered from there)

    Otherwise, you might be -really- lucky and the seller doesn't know the after market value of it.

    I hope for you it's the real deal (but I would resent you forever haha)
