    They had those at my local Fred Meyer a few months ago, but when I later went back with quarters, they were out. :(

    It's weird, but I'm not seeing any pics. Just a large empty space with a grey circle in the middle....

    I get the [ IMG ] tags without using a VPN (google hosted images are blocked). On VPN I get the grey circle pic. This is why I always attach my pics :) 

    Here's the grey circle pic.

    Yeah he's a bit small for BMB Prime, so I think he'd be perfect for WeiJiang's Prime but I dunno.

    They did try to fix it. But not effective in my opinion. The additional ball joint locks do not stabilise the shoulders enough. Still I manage to find a gap to bend the front wheels in and fix the shoulders.

    If you were to use polish or something and tighten the ball joints, would they be able to hold them in the proper angle you think?

    People should get this and get dotm guns to use as a dotm version with bmbs dotm prime and black apples for the first movie Optimus and ironhide since u apparently can’t remove those cannons

    Still going to get it, I've been pretty happy with BMB so far.

    The additional ball joints are actually the problem. It’s not about the tightness. Once the ball is tapped into the socket, it kinda limited the tilting angle of the shoulder. I personally prefer a more inclined angle, like a deep V. But BMB has made it a flat angle with that ball joint.

    Considering just HALF of what BA is doing to the mold, investing more in actually fixing the shoulders instead of adding the cute little lights would have been better.
