    Thanks! We have toys up on the second floor!

    No I don't think any TF Uniteds will be in, but it never hurts to tell us you want something. We can't special order figures, but if we know people want them we can look into it.

    Finally got this bad boy today. There were two of him at Toys R Us but one of the boxes were pretty beat up.

    Okay so the novelty has worn off and is turning into frustration. There's some QC issues with mine and loose joints but the thing that pisses me off the most is one of his hind legs. Its very loose and it its hard to make him stand because the hind leg sometimes just slides down which tilts the whole figure. Any way I can fix this or should i just return it?

    Also, is there any way to make laserbeak's wings tighter?

    I'm guessing that by "hind leg" you mean his heel. This is a fairly common issue. On my Soundwave I use his leg kibble as a heel.


    Mine used to have very tight heels but they loosened over time. I'm wondering if maybe it's the screw slowly unscrewing itself. I'm tempted to tighten it a smidge and see. But for the moment I like using the leg kibble as a heel. I couldn't get it flush anyway.


    I can't help you with Laserbeak unfortunately. I know Mr. Fanwank likes to use Pledge Floor Polish with Future Finish to tighten swivel joints like Voyager Starscream's waist. I know he's not the only one who does that, he's just the first person to come to mind.



    Oh yeah, is Soundwave's waist supposed to rotate? It almost looks like it but if it does it's not easy on mine and I don't want to force it. I'm just curious is all.

    Yes it does! Mine rotates a little tightly but nothing scary. Maybe try loosening some screws?

    Holy crap! Thank you! :D  Mine was just a little bit stiff and I'm super duper paranoid. I just tried and it rotated fairly easily. I'm loving him even more now!

    Haha, yeah. I didn't know this wasn't that well known.

    Anyway, Mr. Fanwank isn't the only one that loves Future. That stuff is THE BEST for fixing all kinds of loose joints.
