Hey people... I have recently had a pretty significant death in the collection. My old G1 Ultra Magnus (the unpainted, plastic wheeled cheapo) had his elbows seize... leading to one forearm snapping off. I also have a running battle keeping my G1 Optimus Prime in one piece.
If anyone has junkers/ spare parts/ spare fists (especially for UM) that they would like to sell... drop me a pm, let me know what you've got and we can take it from there...
Thanks
Daniel

What's broken on the arm? Does the other arm move freely at the elbow joint?

1) the elbow joints from Ultra Magnus
2) large left fist/ both small fists UM
3) Possibly a right shoulder joint from Optimus Prime*
*This really depends on the possibility of removing/ replacing the part in question... I would really have to have a junker to try this on before I subjected my favorite Childhood toy to this surgery.
any particular arm? i think the right elbow arm is busted due to "brute force"Quote:

Another thing to try later on is wait for the millions of 25th Anni Primes to be priced down enough for them to be affordable (I think it will happen, they have too many and its a crap toy due to bad 'Hasbroesque' decisions). Then you can take the chrome parts and general accessories from it. If you feel creative enough you may be able to get parts out and repaint them from pink to red.
Yes, you are probably right... In my haste I seem to have mistaken this for a buy/sell/trade sub forum... do we need a mod to fix this?Quote:

***note edited this as I initially wrote left for op and I need his right shoulder...
Ultra Magnus arrived today. Thanks jgon2098... I'm really happy with it.Quote:
