    I just can not find this in your store. What's it called, could you link me?

    Great, thanks. Definitely need this for my Victorion and UW Bruticus.

    I'm trying to figure out where exactly that ratchet is on Onslaught/Hot Spot. Is it in the knees or the hips?

    Ugh, I forgot this exists and put a Shapeways order without it in a couple of days ago.

    Just saying, you could order and select "free shipping" if your previous order is not yet shipped

    Double ugh, my order hasn't shipped yet, but I get no free shipping option to add it to my existing order. Maybe the previous order is too far along in the process.

    well i bought these parts and replaced them in Victorion yesterday. unfortunately, the stoop is still there :(  also, the screws are incredibly cheap and it takes a good bit of patience to ensure you don' strip them entirely.

    i coated the area in some Future so hopefully that will help moreso as it sets.

    Did you install them correctly? The triangle of plastic should be toward the front of the figures individual robot mode if I'm remembering correctly

    yep, i checked and double-checked to make sure the piece was seated correctly, with the triangle positioned towards figure-front. alas, the stoop, while marginally better, is still in place.

    I'll need to get two sets of these soon. Good work. My Defensor slumps like he's got major depression. On the other side, Bruticus is leaning so far back it's like he wants to strut like George Jefferson.

    Bought this from Shapeways! The ratchet feels much softer and a bit weird. Bruticus also still slumps forward a little bit, but it's infinitely better than before.
