    There is a YouTuber. They get their DS figures early. So whichever's the most recent one they made a video on, that's the figure that's coming out next. Recent one was the double pack as you already know. Usually the figure comes out about after a month that YouTuber makes a video on it. I'm assuming the next one is Srapper and then Skipjack.

    It's on Show z with estimated arrival April. They also confirmed with me earlier this year that Split and Smash would be getting reissues, so looks like its imminent

    They are making a crap ton of money on their figures. I see no reason not to re-issue the figures.

    Course not, I am all for it and especially as I missed out on them the first time they were released.

    Would love a reissue of Split, but only if they also made some adjustments to tolerances on it. Also, if I could take off the backpack/Dev-head that would be great. That's just my opinion though, as someone who is not interested in devastator, but would love a solid Mixmaster.

    But you can do just that if you really want. Whole cab section is attached to the figure via mushroom peg. Same goes for lower half of his body, so basically you can split Split in 3 if you like, although tolerances on those pegs are a bit tight.

    I put him in all 3 Modes.
    No Breakage Issues.

    Hip Leg Joints are tight, but not as
    tight as people say, that is just a lie.

    There is not even much force needed
    to move the Legs. They are really solid.

    As RZ500 said: never use the
    outside / lower Legs for extra leverage.
    Move it at the hip / upper legs
    careful until you hear the soft ratchet clicking sound.

    Also turning the legs around is no Problem when you grab him at upper Leg Joints and turn the Legs.

    Don't be arrogant when you comment. People are not all liars. The ratchet is hard to handle and the plastic may break even if you handle it carefully. Hope your copy never breaks. Meanwhile, I'll put some fluid silicone ;) 
    Peace.

    Mine were both fine as well (moving with caution at the joints).

    I certainly could have been lucky though.

    I'm curious to see if my one will be one of the lucky ones - if it ever arrives :D  it's apparently been on a plane since 13th March and no updates since. Show z said when I queried if they could update me, that it's dispatched so no problem which wasn't hugely helpful :rolleyes:

    All the joints have been fine on every one of my DS bots. I'm glad Compressor's hips are super tight, as he needs to hold the weight of the whole upper body.

    I’ve received them all so far and will be getting the full set but have only opened Split. Never transformed him though. This wasn’t the initial plan but I moved house and haven’t really got a designated spot for any of my Movie bots now.

    Starting to think I should at the very least open them up and deal with any tight joint issues or whatever the reported potential problem may be. I don’t want them to start falling apart once I’m finally putting Devastator together.

    But that’s gonna take a fair bit of fishing through this thread. It’d be great to start a DS Maintenance page with every reported issue and the corresponding fix listed.
    Anyone here with a good memory able to just bullet point issues with previous releases so I can look into them?

    That is what I also wanted to say in Terms of breaking the Legs.

    I just do not want to know how People
    handled their Overload to break of the Legs.

    The Joint seems pretty strong to me, if you consider that it has to hold ALL the weight from the entire Torso.

    Fingers crossed for DS-07's release this month. But I've got a feeling it might be next month (unfortunately). I think we'd have seen a complete boxed sample by now if it was April release.
