    I didn’t do anything specific. Definitely was aware of the weak points of the design based on early comments so held those panels carefully and went slow the first few times. I honestly think a lot of the issues are based on how well the pins were fired in.

    Personal experience, be careful of the side window hinges, one on mine cracked after the first transformation.

    As a person with multiple fractures on his copy, I can attest that he can take the abuse of transformation. It fractures from the stress but nothing actually breaks off. Everything is still fully intact and functional. (The orange plastic on mine was fractured right out of the box.)

    Reading all these has me really worried for the one I ordered from BBTS, hopefully he comes without any of these damaged parts.

    You can keep the head and upper legs pieces while transforming, other pieces need to come off.

    He won't, the clear plastic is sturdier than the stolen copies, so while they will stress so far I don't think anyone's has outright snapped

    mine did, but it was mainly because i was an idiot and mistransformed it in a way that made the clear plastic border around the hinge crack, otherwise it's remained A-okay

    for that price, it should NOT partsform, or include WAY more, just not worth it as it is

    near one of the hinges like most people's scourges, hoping it won't get worse and actually break off

    That one should be fine in the long run. It’s the most common crack and actually makes the transformation smoother. That panel is in no danger of actually breaking off.

    In my opinion? The movie-accurate head makes all the difference.

    Sorry for the dumb bump, but does anyone know where I can still get one of these for a not-stupid price? Entertainment earth is the only place that has a preorder open still, but It would be close to $85 after shipping and taxes
