Been playing with mine today and his soundbyte seems to be cut off at the end of his sentence, does anyone else have this problem and how many soundbytes does he have?

My Takara version does the same, to the point where it cuts off just after its been pressed - What I've been able to put it down to, is that it seems to be a dodgy contact between either the button & the soundboard or the soundboard & speaker. :rolleyes::oQuote:

I've just resorted to taking the batteries out & forgetting about it honestly, it's a pain after spending so much but not enough for me to really care either. :/
Yeah, mine additionally did that, but I fiddled around w/ the batteries then it was all good. :) Make sure the batteries are fresh too. I initially tried it w/ batteries I hocked out of a remote control and it would cut off.
That's exactly what I factored too, tried 2 different sets (Admittedly neither brand new but 1 set were freshly charged rechargeables :o) to only marginally better results - I don't really care though as the "Lights & Sounds" gimmick is entirely a non-factor to me. ;):)Quote:

No offense intended Hursti, the first time I screwed mine back on it seemed in but then moved further and by the time I was finished the cover had moved nearly another mm from where it stopped the first time.Quote:

From time to time it breaks of, then I just angle him with face facing upward or down and then try again and it works.
Just trying to help here. wasn't pointing out it was obvious, it wasn't actually, I nearly took back to Target to exchange but when this worked, I dropped the idea.
This is exactly what I went through too; I noticed that the plate wasn't seated correctly so I "Popped" it into place & then screwed it in and it indeed closed up a further couple of mils. :)Quote:

I'm assuming they're foil stickers? Even original G1 had that problem. Knowing how much effort it takes to apply them to a figure this size, I would be annoyed too. You'd think they'd have the problem sorted after 30 odd years :rolleyes:Quote:

Just be sure to test the glue on a hidden part of the plastic first, to make sure it isn't one that melts plastic.
Sorry to hear man, but mine are 100% perfectly fine. :/Quote:

Sorry ot.
Myer has Metroplex $139 in the catalogue starting Thursday 28 Nov. 'Hot Price' apparently:confused:
For Myer that IS good pricing :p, I'd expect Metroplex to normally go for $300 with that lot. :rolleyes:Quote:

Yes, the cheapest "on sale" price was around $100 and it's regular price $150 to $200 in some stores.Quote:
