There is a fix for this in the PDF. It has been done and works perfectly No. There is also a way to fix it. Picture of that issue please?
Still waiting on mine here in Springfield, MO. Pitney Bowes says: But USPS says: I find it hard to believe its been here in Springfield at the post office for almost three days and they haven't scanned it in. Plus, Pitney Bowes estimated delivery of October 12th won't happen. That's Columbus Day, and there's no mail that day.
Mine had the same problem on the left forearm, and I filed the peg down jus a bit. The panel now sits flush.
Mine is scheduled for today but PB just shipped it to usps today. So I won’t be seeing it till next week either.
Wow. Pitney Bowes is apparently the only one up to date. USPS? Not so much... 17Track ain't up to date, either. So idkwtf...unless there's some sorta miracle and it was on the road to MD immediately after the "Pre-shipment info sent to USPS" notification went up, then methinks there's gonna be a last second changing of the delivery date (today) to like Tuesday or something (aka Walmart via FedEx dick move).
Oh no, it will still work, it just risks stressing the ball joint to take it off. I unscrewed it and shaved the tabs down after disassembling the head while attached. Works like a charm!
It’s a little frustrating that it’s set to come today but it’s definitely not, unless usps receives, processes, and loads it before the truck goes out. “It’s just a toy” which I get. But we live in 2020, you’d think they would have better estimations on when things are due to arrive.
Oh I get it. It is frustrating. Not even so much the wait, but just knowing how close it actually is to me, but it can't seem to find its way here. I understand slow shipping from China, but there's NO reason it should take something two weeks to make its way across the US.
Could be worse. My TE Mirage is in my hometown with a PB agent just waiting to be handed off to the local PO. It's been that way over a week now according to my tracking #. A week in my hometown, so close i really could reach out & touch it... auuugggh!
The damaged one pegs on over the regular one. Just pull it off. So, as far as the matrix chamber pin goes, is it better to push it out first to line it up with the pin holes? Mine is definitely crooked but the side that's messed up won't move down to line up. That being said, I still have a little bit to do on him, but loving him so far!
Tweaking it around should work as you should be able to line it up with the other side's hole. So just push it in once it's all lined up! Hope it works for you!
Thanks! I didn't want to force it and risk damage if that wasn't the right way. And thanks again for the fantastic PDF!
God Orion's PDF helped a lot when I got mine yesterday...Very comprehensive. But the knee fix didn't work. I did everything as the PDF indicated. And one thing I can't figure out how to do is fixing the arm panels, so they can open without stress marks or breakage. Still, I'm glad to have a MP-44 (KO) finally. I hope all the 8-11'ers get theirs soon.
How did you guys attach the included autobot symbol? Its metal and has two nipples on the back side but there's no holes in the arm to line up with?
You're welcome. You shouldn't force it, just try gently facing it. Try the knee fix again and try seeing what happens that makes it not work as intended.
I just got mine. I painted the eyes blue like that of the original mp44. It was really easy to do. Just take his head apart and paint. It looks like it’s some point they may have considered putting a light in his head but at the last minute decided not to. I mean I don’t really know but it looks that way when you go inside and take a look around in there. Also check out tf kingdom, they now have white outline autobot emblems made in the same style as the original MP 44. It takes them forever to fulfill orders. Once I get some photos shot I will post them of the work I did on the KO.
