    Yeah but still...

    Ill buy every upgrade i find for magnus, but sad he will always be a clunky, akward-proportioned bot. Oh well. Howbout a new face wiithout the leno chin?

    I think I read somewhere in the Magnus thread that you can just scrape at it with your thumbnail, and it either eliminates the white, or it makes it almost unnoticeable.

    what does that even mean? magnus's shoulders already operate the same way with his default parts, this just gives them more range of motion, and probably a bit more tightness with the use of diecast parts.

    was just noticing my shoulder swivel on mine was getting a tad loose yesterday when I installed my kfc hands on it. so I get a gun extension and possible parts for a shoulder fix / larger range of motion with this. I'm down. worth a shot.

    Is this still transformable with the add-on? I'd love better shoulders, but not at any cost.

    Sorry if this was already asked - if you make the adjustments to the shoulders what does it look like in alt mode? Does he still transform the same?

    the parts look nearly identical from the photo on the first page, and is installed in the exact same place as the original part. think this is purely designed to increase movement, not alter or prevent any transformations.

    just take a look at the few pics in the upper left hand corner of the promo image. doesn't look like it would hinder the transform in any way.

    This set looks cool, but how many double digits is this going to set me back? $50?

    Wanna split it, Mags? Though at that price I'm not even sure it's worth the hassle.

    My only question is, if it were that easy to fix the movement, why didn't Takara do it?

    I have no desire to remove screws from expensive pieces in my collection to install a joint I think is already decent enough.

    The gun addition would be the only thing I could give even one shit about, and I'm feeling constipated, so, that's even a no go. :D

    I haven't read this whole thread. Is it just the gun? What else is included? Please don't flame me for this question. :eek:
