    Have had this set complete for a few months and I've noticed stress marks on rexs crotch guard and inside duxes mane. But the biggest is the pin that attaches the claws has cracked the plastic. It's a small one and doesn't effect much but its annoying. I mean these 3rd party sets have the cheapest plastics and stress marks everywhere...

    mine just came in have yet to combine them but individually they are great

    just material and build wise they are better then the TFC ones (which i had) they are still some aspects i liked better of that version (mainly there divebombs bird mode)

    but so far i am enjoying them a lot more love that razorclaw is closer in sizes tot he rest of his troops and they are wile more complex to transform they are easier? if that makes sense. the TFC one was fiddly

    I'd say Feral has some of the best plastics in the business. Yours might be a lemon...

    The worst plastics right now I reckon are the hasbro stuff - in particular RID.

    anyone who thinks the plastic these are made of seems cheap is either smoking crack or somehow got the biggest reject of a figure ever. These are some of the heaviest plastic figures I have ever purchased.

    That maybe so for the other 4 but I guess Leo dux was a lemon. I mean jeez though I don't do drugs, i mean if i express that these expensive toys have problems on a board designed for such things, I shouldn't be accused of being on a drug. And yes I know what you mean but dismissing my post seems unfriendly.

    You probably do have a lemon, as the overwhelming majority of Leo Dux(s?) in the wild have been raved about. Contact your seller and see if they can help you out, he's totally worth giving a second chance as he is rally a fantastic toy.

    I had a similiar issue with bovis and mmc hexatron. Basically, there was an air bubble in the plastic and it snapped. I emailed my vendor (tfsource on both) with pictures, they sent new parts.

    Unfortunately, expensive toys can have problems too. I feel ya brother.

    No dice on replacement I'm afraid I bought them from a fellow member back when the were scarce. But I mean I don't regret buying them heck talons my favorite but I mean having just sitting there because your afraid of causing stress marks or damages is kinda disappointing, but oh well...

    I looked at nero's back last night and I cannot figure out which peg you have where. Are you using the peg holes on the wing or the backpack? The combined mode of the sword has the smaller swords that jut out in each direction and prevent a flush sitting of any of my many peg options into the limited receivers.

    I'll look again tonight. The closest thing I have is the side pegs on one of the combined daggers that fits into the side of talon's backpack.

    Hi, for those of you who've received replacement parts from MMC, where do you ask, please? The support section of Mastermind Creations, or their Facebook page, or PSX, or somewhere else? I've managed to lose the two bar pieces from the inside of Talon's pelvis that make the hip ratchet work, but am open to suggestions about what else would fit in there to make it work again if I can't get replacement parts. I've already tried my retailer but unfortunately he doesn't have any spares.

    Is there a list somewhere of all the add-on/replacement pieces that came with each subsequent release?

    I never worried about them before and now I don't know if I have misplaced anything.

    Fortis came with the replacement pelvis piece for Bovis. Talon and Tigris each came with one set of elbow parts for Bovis or Fortis. Felisabre comes with the alternate Bovis and Fortis faces, the red hooves for Bovis, and the non-slip rubber pads for Feral Rex's feet.
