    Unfortunately true. The shoulder ratchets that becomes the legs can barely hold him to stand.

    Of them, there's only a few that would actually break anything and both are easy fixes. The rest seem to be annoyances more than anything.

    Ok, thanks for the replies guys! Looks like I have to add this thread to my favourites so I go through the fixes....

    I don't think the weapons cracking issue is widespread at all. Didn't hear about it until someone mentioned it in here as above more recently. I haven't had to sand or change anything at all. Everything fits just fine here. Even my son hasn't cracked anything yet, and he would have clearly broken something by now.

    There's not really much in terms of fixes in general either. Seacons inherit the old combiner system, which is heavily flawed and inherently unstable. The new feet can't fix it either.

    If you must, you can always use floor polish to tighten some of the joints. I haven't bothered to do that with the Seacons and don't care about using floor polish anymore to fix figures. I knew that and still bought them on purpose as well as God Neptune on pre-order.

    Are these being re-released at some point?

    Yes. I used to order from them all the time. They’re all sold out though. Boy I’m glad I preordered all of mine through Pulse last year...

    Yep. Looks like if I want them, I'm just going to have to bend over and take it. Absolute asinine decision to make these such a limited item while making God Neptune the easier version to get.

    How is a God Neptune easier? He had a month long preorder just like all of the other Seacons (except one had two weeks)

    He's easier to get by having him come as one set instead of separate purchases.

    I'm aware at the end that TTMall did sell them all bundled together (but no special extra packaging or anything).

    Have people given up on this being re-released as a set? I still think it could happen.

    The collective amnesia surrounding the preorder windows for the Seacons never ceases to amaze me. Especially when I see some of the same people who call them "rare" simultaneously complain about people who ordered multiples.

    Actually, it’s getting irritating at this point. Ditto for Siege Skywarp, who was available to anyone for three whole months.
