    So, today I got an Energon Landmine figure. I had no idea that the crane didn't twist, it was already a bit loose... and it popped out of it's hole. It can slot back in, but it's very loose. What do you recommend to fix it? I'm thinking I can just put some glue and fit it back in? Some help would be greatly appreciated :)

    unless you know exactly what the problem is, the first thing i would do would be to take the affected area completely apart as thoroughly as possible to see EXACTLY what is broken. then i would figure out how to go about fixing it.

    if it was just the screw holes being stripped however then some glue would probably do the trick.

    it is supposed to rotate. Looks like the screws let go...I can see what looks like two of them sticking out of the base part.

    You'll need to carefully take that base apart, and I emphasize carefully...it houses the electronics, to get access to those screw heads.

    If they are in fact stripped out, a dab of super glue in each stripped hole should help tighten them back up once you're ready to put it back together.
