    Hello, I have been having problems at connecting the bottom of the spider part in its robot mode storage. The peg seems like is a bit too big for the hole, does anyone have any solution for this?

    KY *nods*

    All kidding aside. Make sure the hole is flash-free and, if you still feels like it's too big, you may have to sand down the peg's circumference a tad.

    I wish Perfect Effect would reissue her along with PE-DX01.

    I still love the figure, just wish she could be upsized a bit now. I've been through two figures now, the first one I had an issue and snapped off the red windscreen during transformation, but was able to get a replacement from RobotKingdom way back when.

    I tried that too, but the crack was just bad that it was unsightly

    I really wanted to transform it since the bike mode is just as badass as bot mode. I'm too scared as I don't want to break her.

    as long as your careful and you watch the windshield which is the trickiest part of the transformation despite it really being simple, you'll have no problems

    @knightmare6 i got lucky the whole windshield broke off from the tab its glued into it so i just had to gorilla glue the windshield back onto the tab can't even tell

    Put me down for another one that missed out on this figure. I have money now - just nobody will sell me one.

    Yeah, that's one thing I don't enjoy about most of PE's figures I have. Is today the day I break this figure transforming it? It's nerve racking.

    Fort Max being a step above the others. I never worry about him.
    Lio Convoy, Black Arachnia, and Arcee are like timebombs. Beautiful timebombs.

    Let's see, I broke a tail link being as careful and slow as possible. As I had read the numerous reports of broken tail links.

    His torso popped in half at the ball joint (thankfully), as I've seen others break off the entire ball. It was hell getting it back on the ball joint.

    His shoulders are insanely tight and I've read about them breaking on others.

    His robot head crest flew off. Luckily fixed with glue.

    The little pegs for the weapons are not something that inspire confidence either.

    Other than that he's ok. Mine is a first run if that makes a difference. Not sure if they improved anything with later releases.

    idk, i have both of the Xerxes runs and didn't have any of those probs, though you're right i do worry about the tail and the weapons pegs, didn't have any head & shoulders issues, though my first xerxes took a tumble and the lion head snapped off it's peg, so i bought O.Xerxes to replace him and he's on his stand so i won't be repeating that mistake again
