My brother just informed me that one of his friends came over and broke his Pepsi Prime's smokestacks. We were thinking of giving it either his G1 Prime junker's stacks or buying new ones from here: Transformers Custom Made Long Smoke Stack Optimus Prime - eBay (item 200495272506 end time Aug-11-10 20:41:34 PDT) Can anyone tell me exactly HOW you replace the smokestack without further damaging the toy?
These are the best repro stacks on the market. Generation 1 replacement Optimus Prime stacks [Gen 1] - $9.99USD : Ages Three and Up Is is actually pretty easy, all you need is a screwdriver and a steady hand.
Yeah. Opening up his arms to replace the stacks or tighten the joints is a simple screwdriver job. Just a warning, the little metal piece in either arm is a devil to get back in, so if I were you I'd just open the arms enough to swap out the stacks.
If I ordered these do they come with instructions on how to do it? I don't want to make the toy worse than it was before I made my attempt.
