I agree. Sadly TT's QC has gone to sh!t in recent years that it's likely to have affected all the figures and a swap may get you an even worse one.

Plus getting a few dollars worth of clips and lube will be cheaper than sending it back.

So $1.10 for e clips on eBay and $5 for lube at Supercheap Auto (if you sign up to Club Plus).

You can get a small pot of silicon grease on eBay for $1.10, but i'm not sure i'd trust it to put on a $300 figure.

There wasn't an Asia release, something about not passing safety laws or not being up to quality standards (surprise, surprise).

Yeah, I got him locally hoping for the same thing. :mad: :(

So I just transformed mine no hassles, but its clear the ratchet on the known troubled side is gonna fail, it doesn't sit in the same position as the other, and when it rotates it sorta gets stuck half way until the movement is completed.

I could go the c-clip fix but I'm tempted to use the dishwashing liquid trick but tell me, wouldn't that dry up sometime, how safe is it?

I just want an easy fix, and unlike trypticon I can't just ram a bit of plastic to gum up the ratchets :(

The long term problem with dishwashing liquid is that it would go sticky and then you get all manner of dust and whatever sticking to it and while it is pretty unlikely, it could go mouldy. I'd go the silicone grease.

Just pay online and pick it up at the front desk of your local -- that way you can sign up to use the Club Plus credit and get 2.10% back with Cashrewards.
