    Never had that problem with my original MP-20 or MP-23. Never had it on my MP-20 KO either. Plus I was pretty ham fisted with them when I first got them.

    No broken wings here. Of course, I don't own the + version.

    The wings don’t even need to bend for transformation, that’s the real kicker. It’s an unnecessary joint.

    There were way more reports of broken wings with the original MP-20. Maybe it helps that the wings on MP-20+ have a coat of paint on them.

    Anyway, still looking for someone looking to sell their broken MP-20+ :D

    One of the wings on my original MP20 had a crack. I glued it. No problem since.

    Have had no issues with MP20+.

    As Sam said, the joint isn't needed for transformation.

    Well, whaddaya know. Everyone's talking about the wings even months ago.

    Has anyone ever found out how to remove the parts that attach the wings to his back? If only. Considering trying to see, if they're able to be removed, if a new pair could be 3D printed, as a way to avoid the common breakages with the originals.

    I just discovered a pretty good sized crack across the joint at the base one of the wings. I think gluing will suffice but I do wish they had used a different type of plastic here. Transformed only once.

    Anyone know where I can get a MP-20+ still? What's the best price out there? Most places seem to be sold out.

    I thought this guy would be available for a while I guess I waited too long to pick him up. Anyone have one they don't want anymore?

    you have to slam the pin (made up something to put the part in a stable way, it's not easy), then glue the piece to the wing, and use it as a partformer part. It's ok.

    the only problem i had with this release of wheeljack was that one of the doors didn't plug into the back of the legs properly, needed to force it in.

    For the love of god this needs a re-issue. Do they ever do them for the older + versions? I even tried (and failed) to buy one from eBay with a broken wing i'm so desperate for the f'ing thing. At least the dick who sniped me had to at least pay close to the original MSRP for it lol. That's what you get for outbidding a desperate man!
