Toys broken while in your possession

[Mythirax]

Yeah, so this happened the other day.
Brand new for Xmas 1985.
I need a junker for parts...

What are junkers for these guys worth :S I might have one somewhere.

Sinnertwin's gun ....

I just got a second set of Gen1 Terrorcons to have the combined forms with the individual members, and the day I get the second set and start combining them, I fold down Sinnertwin's robot head to make him an arm of Abominus... and snap.
The same blue coloured plastic broke like my first one (which was its gun that broke) - so BEWARE of this figure if you have one.

Maybe it's his way of saying "I"m a leg, not an arm!!!"

And klystron, I think I have an astrotrain to junk too.... Had broken metal train parts, so legs should be fine

Sorry Griffin, but I agree with Krayt. I think Primus is punishing you for not using Sinnertwin as a leg.

@Krayt - post a photo (see Toy Scout thread) and let me know what you'd like for it.

I honestly have no idea. Guess it depends on actual condition...
Post a pic if you like.

I got a "Toy Scout" thread so we dont hijack this one.

I was too lazy to get up and look for an image of Abominus... and the "official" placing of the limbs wasn't as obvious or memorable as the earlier combiners, so I just picked parts and turned them into limbs.
If I did look at the Generations book, I probably would have gone by that format and Sinnertwin would have been a leg.
But then, it shouldn't break just from moving the head... and now I and others know that it must be a high-risk toy like gold plastic toys.

I'm onto my 3rd sinnertwin.
I wasn't taking any chances with it, so I opened it up and sanded the sides so it doesn't exert as much pressure.

How strange? Is that blue plastic more brittle than most other non-gold plastics used in G1 TFs?

i think it's more of a design flaw in the chest rather than a plastic issue.
