    Is this why the figure is only $50 at Showz?

    Don't really know. TE's Optimus is also available for $70 which is also a crazy good price.

    Just posted a review of the recent reissue of TE-03, it becomes very affordable and it fixed the hip issue, very good figure.

    I went ahead and pre-ordered. @ShowZStore says the new batch may still have the fixable hip issue, but I hope it doesn't have the green ankle issue. But for less than $50 I couldn't pass it up.

    I mentioned it earlier, but you can also just undo the screw on the back of the hip and it becomes very easy to get enough room to do the fix.

    How does one remove Mirages leg to apply the leg replacement? I had a green ankle and received a new leg from ShowZ! Thanks ShowZ!

    Didn't they say they don't have replacement parts anymore or something like that?

    No. I was sent an entirely new leg including the hip attachments.

    I see the hip fix... but does anyone know how to disassemble the pelvis?

    That's a great price. Did they retool it at all?

    Are you referring to TE-01 or TE-03?

    Not that any of us have heard. TE-01's sprue marks got a little worse or at least the ones on the front of his ankles. Other than that, he's the same. Don't know about Mirage as the rerelease isn't out yet.

    Got the ship notification.

    You applied for the ankle replacement from ShowZ or did the new leg come together?

    My Chinese seller has a new batch, but he says there is no after-sale service for this.

    Wondering if ShowZ is does replacement parts.
