    I love how ppl say this like it's a fact.

    A handful of ppl on an internet forum get upset over a few extra parts therefore it's now not ok lol

    In a way, it's true, is the cheapest way to accomplish a huge size and keep everything simple.

    Dude we are talking about fictional physics that does not exist in reality so partsforming is a way to accomplish things you can not do in reality without sacrifing structural stability.

    On that note I think I'm going to end up getting this team

    I'm pretty sure the red ones take you out of the matrix and the gold pieces go over your ears so you can pretend you're the Flash.

    The sliders are insanely tight. I can only get them 60% on.

    I spent $315 on the set during a 15% eBay flash sale from East Coast Toys.
    I think the set came out three months ago...?

    I’ve seen the set at TFSource for $350.

    Yes they are insanely tight! I used oil usually used for lubricating locks/sewing machine (SINGER oil). It helps a lot.

    What are the other parts for? I recognize the mouth piece, but not all the other little gold pieces.

    So I've had this for a few months and haven't really inspected it. So today I went over each bot and well... I'm missing a goddamn leg!

    Picture didn't upload in the right direction but you can see 20180906_103554.jpg

    For a second I thought the sideways toes on his arm was just it folded inside, realized I was wrong shortly after

    I’m confused, is this set out or not? Seems like some have in hand.
