    If you are like me you have MP-24 Star Saber and plan on getting KFC Simba. The only thing that I saw in the reviews that was off putting was the weak joints that Star Saber has. So in conjunction with GCIToys.com I have designed a kit to replace the elbow and knee ratcheting joints. Pricing and availability will soon be announced, stay tuned!!!!

    Ordered! Shipping to the UK was somewhat offensive at over $20 for these small parts :(

    Unfortunately that is USPS costs, however it is sent priority and insured.

    Nice! Whether I get Simba or wait for an official Victory Leo I'll probably get these. Star Saber's floppy arms drive me crazy, and after watching Bobby Skullface's Simba review I'm definitely worried about his knees in combined mode.

    Yeah I figured it would at least be REALLY fast delivery! I can't wait to get them, I'm too scared to combine Simba at the moment because I don't want a floppy mess to disappoint me :D

    As soon as GCI gets their stock of Simba in this week, I will upload a video. For now you just have to trust us that they work.

    Well, i was going to order these but registering on the gci website is a pain in the ass. i register, it sends me a link (that isn't a link) to set my password, then when i get to the site from the "link" it says invalid. then it sends me a new "link" that does it all over again. awesome.

    Edit* so it lets me register in the checkout but accepts no password i create. Nothing i put in with the listed requirements is accepted. what a pain in the ass. it shouldn't be this much of a pain in the ass just to buy something.

    Edit edit* finally got in, but man what a pain in the ass. took 3 emails to get a valid password set link.

    I don't know if I plan on ordering Simba but this kit seems like a great idea regardless. Consider it bought
