    Just recently picked up Human Alliance Jazz (amazing figure btw!!) and I have just a couple of questions for those of you that already have him.

    First of all, I don't know if it has been brought up yet, but for almost every HA jazz that I've seen, the hood will not stay completely down in alt. mode. The little tabs that go out to the side, it seems that the hood is not 'level enough' because the slightest move will untab 1 side of them. I thought that it was just my figure at first, but then I seen a few in the box still and even they had the same problem. Anyone else experience this?

    Also, I noticed that, at first, HA Jazz was one of the few Human Alliance figures that didn't roll all that well. So I fiddled with this a bit, and realized that the 'collar bone' things in robot mod that fold under the car near the front of it, don't fold completely flat and kept getting in the way. So I tugged on them a little bit to remove them (I don't really like them in robot mod anyways) and presto!! The car rolls perfectly. Anyone else have to do this?

    Other than that, my only other question is: Is there a place to store the missile in either alt. mode or robot mode? Or do you have to simply have it in the bike at all times pretty much?

    as far as I can tell, the missle stays with the bike. Agreed with the hood. the slightest little pressure or movement and a corner pops up.

    The little missile stays on the bike as the exhaust or loaded in the gun. The hood on mine seems to hold down fairly well, didn't notice it popping up. When you rolled yours, was it on carpet or a hard floor, it rolls a lot better on a hard surface.

    Yeah I hardly ever roll on carpet, I will always "test" them on a hard surface, and it was still "sliding" if you can even call it that, instead of rolling.

    Just got one today! No issues at all with this mofo... It has the correct windows, it rolls just fine and the hood stays in place nicely.
