    Haha of course I know humans make mistakes. I was just saying in all reports, it’s always the LEFT eye that’s loose. To my knowledge not one person on this forum has complained about Tigatron’s right eye, it’s always his left. That’s what I was getting at.

    I guess I'm the first because it's the right eye for my Tigatron.

    A simple no would have sufficed ;) 
    Yes that is what I'm doing but it does seem like bad design to make it impossible to change the faceplates without scraping them against the 'cheek-guards'. Like you say the guards do hide the scuffs so its not a big issue, but it might have been a better idea to include the guards in the face plates a la Megatron.

    There's a ratchet? I get one hard click as the large pin slides up but no sign of a ratchet. Its nice to have but its not much of a ab-crunch.

    Same here. I'm gonna employ the floor polish on it today. I left polish on the secondary knee joints and the lower sideways joint over night and I am happy to report they are nice and tight now. (thanks for the advise @SPLIT LIP).

    Ahh yes you mean this one MP 50 Tigatron (thanks for making me go look!)

    Yes I did see it but forgot. I've just struggled to engage it and no dice. To be honest I'm not sure I'm all that bothered about it, especially seeing as I feel like I'm putting too much strain on the waist trying to get it to budge.

    I've been playing with this thing more and haven't had any problems with the joints yet. They're all decently tight still. Every time I transform him, I find some new place that tabs in that I was unaware of. Probably would help if I read the instructions but those are so hard to read. Too many lines to make out what's what. Why can't they just do color pictures of the damn figure?

    It takes like 5 minutes to get him 99% transformed and then it's like 15 minutes of screwing with the arms and panels trying to get them perfectly aligned. Constant game of got one panel in, oh fuck the one of the other side popped out.

    Our apologies. We are extremely backed up due to all of the arrivals we've had recently. The order should go out today though.

    Tigatron's left eye or the left eye when you are looking at it? For me it's Tigatron's right eye, which is on the left side when I'm looking at it.
