    Buy a second Autobot set and paint it. They're still widely available.

    I can't even BEGIN to stress how full of bullcrap this statement is. I didn't simply return this product to BBTS (the ONLY time I've ever done so in years of collecting) because of hype. No sir, it is a TERRIBLY flawed piece.

    I preordered this thing the minute it was announced - as a transformers base in scale with Classics/G1 figs was a genius idea - and spent nearly 3 hours trying desperately to piece it together when it arrived. Every attempt collapsed like a sea of dominoes. Parts and connectors were completely warped right out of the box. Nothing would hold together correctly. I didn't order a $130 model kit - I ordered a supposed "modular" playset to fit the needs of my ever-changing shelf space. This thing is complete garbage and THAT is why consumer opinion is low. I was hesitant to ever buy an iGear product again after this. A simple check of the feedback thread would illustrate how many people had a similar experience. No, it wasn't "IN" to hate on this set.

    I want this... But it's a bit pricey. Wish I hadn't missed it on sale at BBTS.

    I had the luck of having people post there on youtube and telling what they did to build it.So I was ahead of the game when it came and I used scotch tape on the back to hold them together as I wa building it.But I know you were one of the first to get it and didn't have no help period

    I can not argue your want for a modular set not being fulfilled. As I said in an earlier post, if you want a modular set this isn't for you.

    The point I want to stress, IF YOU DO NOT WANT A MODULAR SET TO FIT THE NEEDS OF YOUR EVER CHANGING SHELF, is that with minimal Krazy glue the set becomes a very straight even and awesome one piece display that fits perfectly on my Billy Shelf. If you don't want to use any adhesives on this set then you are simply SOL the set will not hold together.

    Thanx
