    If chosen prime takes any longer, I might have to change my shipping address. I'm moving on 4/15.

    Regardless, I don't mind the wait.

    Good luck! TCP have ignored my previous emails.

    My FB retailer still hasn't received their Firmament stack either. Hopefully soon! I'm getting jealous.

    Sounds like wrapping some soft material around your prying tool is the way to go, or perhaps using a prying tool made a of a softer material. I hope that combiner port isn't a consistent issue.

    I don't know if that would work, but it's the official transformation.

    Well, after watching it a few times, it seems to come out very easily. And on my Ferocious, it well, it doesn't.

    I would think that would damage the claw

    Isn't the shiny part of the claw made of steel? But yeah, i would think the same thing. Better to use a knife or a screwdriver

    No way in hell i'm using the crab claw to pry that connector free. Not a chance. Get a sturdy spudger and don't risk breaking the crab or ruining the plastic with a metal object like a knife or screwdriver. Yikes.

    Was thinking of asking myself why no one is trying with a reliable ol' spudger. I got a five pack of them off Amazon for less than five bucks.

    Not enough room/leverage if you crank it up from underneath?

    If someone manages to pry out the peg with a spudger please share how you did it.

    not enough room to have something wrapped around it, I had to use two separate screwdrivers to get the leverage to pry it out

    yeah that won't help there is something wrong with the combiner port ratchet, it isn't supposed to be so immovable, check out kato's collection review his port moved by hand easily

    I'll just chime in to recommend adding some shock oil to the combiner joint. A few drops did wonders for my Ferocious and I assume that Firmament will be the same.

    This probably has been answered and I just missed it but does anyone know which one is coming next after Firmament?

    I think Cang has said it’s going to be Razorclaw.
