Just saw this on ebay. Anyone else have problems? mine is still in the box, so i don't know. Maybe kid broke it? or him having very short thumb nail trying to pry it open? Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise Optimus Prime Figure - READ DESCRIPTION | eBay pics i copied in case someone buys it soon.
Ouch, looks like it may have been paint locked or excess glue accidentally slipped between the joints.
They (the "doors") only open so far.. so possibly forced and snapped. Usually such parts are snapped in and pop off when excessive force is used... they used a pin for this on this figure.. not a usual common design approach, but this pin is shared with the folding section. If they didn't force it, possibly defective QI, and the pin went in wrong? But if that's the case, then the other part (side panel of truck that comes out) would possibly also be stuck. EDIT: Looked again at the images and you can see that the grey section is part of this... so this looks like it was stuck by the paint, as looking at mine looks like the plastic is red, and the grey painted... so possibly some paint that wasn't properly dried? As this is the first and only time this seems to have happen, could be just bad luck?
