    Hi everyone,

    See the attached picture. Am I doing something wrong in transforming Brainstorm's legs to vehicle mode? I can't get his center tail fin to stick straight up and down, nor get the two leg sections to snap together in vehicle mode because of it.

    Thanks for any advice.

    I had to use a little force to get the legs on mine to snap together. If nothing's budging I'd maybe try shaving the tab down a tiny bit. Could be mold flash

    my SDCC version stands up perfectly straight: it takes a little pressure to rotate into position and there's a noticeable click/pop when the bottom of the fin clears the top of the shell

    Cool! I took a chance and really forced it, and it snapped into place. Thanks so much.
