G1 Prime Trailer

I've noticed most of the ebay trailers have the back door broken off.

None of my G1 trailers have a broken door, but with at least two the repair robot won't stay up anymore.

Roller's launcher is also really poor on all of them, but that was probably the case from new anyway due to toy safety concerns at the time.

I have two G1 trailers in good condition and a 3rd KO but it's busted.

My childhood trailer is a mess. No door hinges, yellowed, broken tabs, missing roller etc. Interestingly I allowed my 5 year old nephew to play (supervised) with encore prime and the trailer door was pulled off around half a dozen times. No breakages but I eventually just swapped in the vintage one instead.

I loved playing with my G1 Prime's trailer!! It was the default Autobot base for ages until I got the S.T.A.R.S. base! But I've always been one to try to take good care of my toys... only one of the door hinges broke, but a piece of blu-tack kept that in place. It just meant that I had to be careful when opening and closing the door, but once it was fully opened or closed it stayed in place.

Of course, my original childhood 1984 Optimus Prime was stolen. *sigh*

Ahhh... blu-tack; is there nothing it can't fix

I didnt have Prime when I was a kid, I only got mine second hand - one is broken (the back dooe hinge is broken) and one is well and intact... but yeah the trailer seldom gets played with.

What about storing the trailer - does anyone leave Roller out of the launcher? I've heard of people doing this as its less strain on the spring mechanism.
