    Hey, I broke the shoulder ratchet joint on my Hasbro predaking rampage while installing the DNA kit, does anyone know if I could transplant one from this to it? Or does anyone know where I can get a potp rampage for real cheap? (Like a junker or something) Or is there a way to fix it? I broke it by tightening the screw too far and it popped through the hole.

    I want to keep the rampage that I have currently, I just want to fix it. Also, where can I purchase one? All the sites I use don’t have it.

    Depends on what you need :) . Jinbao is probably largest Devastator so far (os ko of GT Gravity Builder), NBK is cheaper alternative to GT GB (in my opinion, way better than JinJiang one) and that ko of cw Devastator is for you if you are looking for Devastator that doesn't tower over other cw combiners :) .

    My Steel Claw was shipped on 13th, bought at GiftLove :) .

    If you are familiar with Taobao.....

    现货威将冲云霄猛虎天元巨灵宵五合体机器人模型变形玩具金刚-淘宝网
    Wow the entire set of Weijiang POTP Predaking KO from Taobao for only $24 USD before shipping. Even cheaper for just a single bot. I might have to jump on this. By the way, how is the quality?

    Pricing shown is in Chinese Yuan not Japanese Yen.

    Nice price, but with middleman (when I last checked) it usually is tripled at least (middleman rake-off, customs fees, enormous shipping costs). But you might live in more lucky country than I am :) .

    Quality - regarding four I have so far - usual WJ quality, which means pretty random tightness on joints (for example, I bought their Batevil, os ko of TR Mindwipe, it had very sturdy hip joints but arrived damaged, I got replacement and it was quite loose on these joints) - my "Divebomb" is pretty loose on hips and knees - can't support weight of the wings but stands pretty well without them. "Rampage's" combined mode shoulder ratchet is trash, but the replacement part is shipped with "Headstrong". Things usually tab securely in all modes, though, my "Divebomb" has problem with these panels on the front of the lower legs - these don't tab at all in arm and beast mode. There are quite a few improvements, like fillers on legs of the "Tantrum" and "Headstrong", wrist swivels (and forearm covers) on "Divebomb" and "Rampage". Combined mode fists and feet are remolded - feet are longer, hands have wrist swivel, hinge and a lot of ball joints on fingers :) . Plastic quality is like on NBK ko of Gravity Builder - below usual quality on WJ figures (like their kos of TR and CW figures) but in my opinion acceptable for this price :) .

    Ah, but it is. It is part of the Taobao's 618 deals. (now through June 18th).
    (18th June is a China online sales holiday date like 11/11)

    Thanks I never use middle men when I buy from Taobao so it won't affect me. I think some of the more popular agents like Superbuy or 42Agent have reasonable prices. In fact Superbuy is offering discounts for their shipping rated for the 618 retail holiday (now through June 18th).

    Are they MP scaled? What is the height?

    The JB Predaking (KO of the MMC version) is a floppy mess.

    Are there any additional joint upgrade beside the one that come with headstrong? Both of my combiner hands joint are loose. I use one to rampage since he is the worst.

    Terry Wong has the while set listed for $70 shipped loose. At that price I'm tempted to get a second set to try customizing.

    I'm also a bit concerned about that brown/gold plastic they've used for the wingtips, hands and various other parts of WJ Predaking. I actually like what they've done with Predaking, but it's going to be disappointing if he starts falling apart in a few years.
