    Okay, just a few more.
    Can't get enough of this set. IMG_20180423_123923.jpg IMG_20180423_123943.jpg

    I'm officially using this configuration as my "war mode" Big Powered...

    Okay, getting into this line was NOT a mistake. I don't think I've had this much fun in ages, or at least since I decided to get into MP's.

    I like tanks...

    Even more firepower added...

    I feel like I'm monopolizing the picture taking here. Sorry if it's too much.
    One more for today. I rearranged a few bits on the 'tank', added some extra firepower, and now this is my most favorite thing ever...

    I was worried I might have ordered too many of the Powered Systems... now I'm glad I did. LOVE this little tank!

    The small thigh treads plugged in under the cab pieces. They fit perfectly.

    So I just got my Big Powered GV today and he is awesome!

    However, I am not sure if I am just being too cautious or if there is something wrong with my copy, so I need a little help. When retracting Big Powered's combined head, I cannot get the bay door (where the E-Suit stores) to close once I have retracted the head and closed the cover door. Am I missing something? Or am I just being too cautions with the bay door?

    Is the suit in, or pushed in far enough? Try it with and without the suit to see if there's a difference.

    It closes perfectly fine when I am trying to lower or raise the head. But when I put away the Combined-mode head, the front bay door will not shut

    Makes me wonder if a gear may be off by a tooth.
    Depending on where you got it from, you could maybe exchange it, if that's an option.

    IMG_6174.JPG IMG_6175.JPG So in other words it should be a very smooth motion? I get nothing but resistance when trying to close the door. I guess I need to contact the vendor that sold it to me and hope the replacement is not plagued with the same issue.

    Here are the photos of the position I am stuck. Can't get the door to shut once the head is tucked away. I was just hoping I missed a step or there was a way everything needed to be positioned. Sounds like I got a bad copy.

    Thank you all for the feedback.

    You could always give it one slightly more forceful push, just in case something is just out of alignment. Kind of like hitting an old TV.

    Otherwise, sorry about your issue. Sucks that it's on such a large (expensive) piece.

    Yeah, probably won't do that. Lol! I am going to try and take it apart and see if I can get it realigned. May just be missing the right tooth in the gears. At least if I can't get it realigned I can return it.

    Genius! Those cabs might be my favorite part of the whole set. How ridiculous am I.
