    For some reason my Rampage has spring loaded hip joints that retract the front legs to the point where they are touching the rear legs. I did not see spring loaded hip joints in the videos of Rampage. What's wrong with the constructacrab?

    yup, they pretty much just go straight or bend slightly at the knee, the springs dont allow them to completely bend.

    The springs in his hip joints broke so I think I got a bad Rampage. His hips didn't pose like the one in Peagh's video and now the hips are just floppy. I'll take him back and get a new one.

    Ebay:
    Rampage has a 'normal' hip mode that allows you to deactivate the spring mechanisim. Just spin the legs all the way around and the spring-loaded feature will stop. And if it didn't work when you opened him, spin the legs the other way till it does.
