    Has anyone successfully transformed galvatron? I can't get the head in the cannister it's supposed to go into.

    Short Pump Walmart: appeared to have a new case of R.E.D., and some of the same stuff they've had for a week now. No new 4" joes.

    Picked up the two Rhinox's at the Manassas Liberia Walmart. Left two Cyclonus for those still in need. Nothing else new. They do have one set of the Huffer wave. They also got a fair big restock of older R.E.D. figures.

    I haven't had trouble transforming him into gun mode, but DAMN is that circular door hard to pry open to get the head back out. I also had trouble with one of the tabs that plugs into his chest and had to file it down.

    Not sure if anyone lives out this way, but the Staunton WM has Kingdom leader Megs, Netflix wave 3 deluxes, Inferno, dinobot, SS Grimlock, Ractonite, Arcee, Airazor, Classified CC. No retro joe stuff, shit for MOTU, little to no ML or SW (just a couple archive troopers and a Hoth Han).

    I feel this so much. I did manage to successfully flip the arms, though, so I was feeling cocky, lol. He's all pretty now.

    If anyone is interested, @Camzilla51 on Twitter did an excellent step-by-step set of videos on the shoulder fix. That was the one I watched and it was great.

    I recently had a friend pick up Kingdom Rhinox for me and I just got around to messing with it. Seems mine has been misassembled. The right knee is just slightly misaligned and now it can’t bend enough to transform. I hadn’t seen any issues reported. Has anyone else encountered this problem? It looks near impossible to disassemble to fix.

    Do you have pics? The lower legs are tricky to transform because there’s not much clearance.

    It’s hard to show in a picture. One leg transformer fine but the other just won’t. It looks like the plastic was a millimeter out of alignment when the pin went through and it won’t bend to allow for transformation.
