    Yeah, that's what I get for operating on "just woke up" brain, haha. Highway K target is down a Galvatron, and the remaining one also does not have the correct shoulders. But it took me 3 minutes to get to the napa on Jungermann and grab those nylon tools, so wish me luck as I attempt to fix this guy!

    I've been at this shoulder fix for a few minutes and boy howdy is it scary. I'm of a mind to quit while I'm ahead.

    I know it and I own it; I'm basically an Italian Greyhound in a human suit.

    I actually popped the pin right after sending that message, but no magnet in my house was strong enough to get it out of there so I pushed it back in and am gonna try again later. Do you think the magnet is a needed step or is working the halves loose enough to get clearance?

    Once that pin "pops" it will be loose enough to come out without a magnet. Just be careful because it's small and easy to lose.

    Thanks! luckily my magnet I do have should be strong enough to keep it from wandering away. Now to get up the gumption. in the meantime I'm surprised I have to future up his right hip. It was plenty good and all the other joints are literally perfect, but after some handling it has gotten pretty loose :/

    Good luck. I found the easiest part after removing the pin was removing the arm from the shoulder, but then the hardest part was getting the arm back onto the shoulder. The clearance is very thin and requires a little bit of oomph to get back on there. But all and all totally worth it, the fixed shoulders are much improved.

    Looks like the World's Collide 4 packs are finally hitting around here.

    Got 1 at St. Joseph Target just now, there's still 2 left.
