    The new reprolabels make it look more toy-centric with the vehicle detailing, which I like. I don't care for the overabundance in redundant logo stickers or the cockpit stickers for saber. Can't really justify the $20 price with so many unnecessary stickers in the set. I am hoping ocean/eness make a set for SS

    I agree with you regarding the reprolabels set; it does look more like the G1 version that I have him standing next to in my collection. Needless to say, I had to get them. The additional attention to detail was too good to pass up. I own two of them anyway, so I will only sticker up one of them.

    Y'know, after all the hype I'd expect this toy -Based on a character known to wield a sword, a character who's literally had swords named after him- to be able to hold it's sword properly.
    I can't fathom why Star Saber would hold his sword with the flat end facing forward, but that's the only way for him to securely hold it.
    What was the thought process behind this? If this is just an oversight then it's a major one...
    I've only heard bad things about KFC's products, but I ordered their MP-24 hands, because honestly anything is an improvement at this point.

    Those adapters work like a charm.

    I honestly will never understand why people have so much trouble with the freakin' sword handle.

    Great shots.

    I'm still looking forward to the inevitable black repaint. :)

    The way this figure was designed to hold his sword makes absolutely no sense, and you can't get him to securely hold it the right way, short handle or long handle.
    If you know how to get him to hold the sword right, I'm all ears.

    Anyone else have trouble getting his to roll on his wheels in vehicle mode? The front wheels on mine always fold back in unless I set him down real gently. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a common issue?
