    Thanks for finding the misassembly.

    I did this and now the gray vents look right in bike mode. I would have never noticed!

    Is there a tool needed for popping out the mushroom peg? I'm having a tough time trying with just my hands.

    No tools required at all! This product is easy to assemble and can be done by anyone, even, mom.

    Mine must have had extra paint that made it snug. It wasnt coming out easy.

    Mine was that way on one side. The upper arm is painted, or rather it seems to have been dipped in brown paint.

    This is the reason I want all future TF toys to be easily disassembled so we can fix these errors without much effort . Mushroom pegs are great, screws are good, pins suck and welded joints are the worst.

    The trade off would be complexity and maybe articulation.

    I wouldn't really mind losing complexity. It depends on how much articulation we would lose though.

    I discovered another quality control (QC) issue with Wreck-Gar, his back wheel does not transform properly. Apparently the passage way that the metal pin occuies is not in a straight line, and this causes the wheel assembly piece to not sit properly when Wreck-Gar is transformed into motorcycle mode. This appears to be a problem for all the copies of Wreck-Gar that have been released. I did a short video showing the solution for fixing this problem. It is found here: 

    I hope others will find better success in fixing Wreck-Gar\'s back wheel then I have.

    Love the way you mounted the folded axe. Best placement idea so far.

    Thank you, I looked at all the methods of placing the axe weapon and having it almost the same as the Reveal the Shield 2011 Wreck-Gar was the best I came up with.

    That's Wreck-Gar, not Vroom.

    I bought mine (not at $7.99 as above) back then upon release, solely based on the assumption that 3rd parties would produce some head sculpts for Junkions...

    And that I could have more new characters to add to my existing Junkions.

    Looks like it's not gonna happen yeah? :confused: :confused: :confused:
