Ok Grinder is doing my head in. To people who have it, when I'm pulling out the tail from the inside the legs to transform to Dino mode, it gets caught on the bottom bit of plastic. I was able to pull out the tail from the left leg last night but noticed now that I've taken off a little bit of chrome on the end edge of the largest tail piece. The same thing will happen with the right leg so I haven't forced that one.

Is this an issue that anyone else has had? Mine doesn't appear to be misassembled, it just looks like there is no clearance.

I've not opened mine yet and won't get to it for a while, one thing I have found with Fans Toys product in the past is their tolerances are often very tight for moving one piece past another. Not being familiar with the toy yet, is it possible to adjust it some other way to then allow more clearance for moving the tail piece?

Oh sure. Gloat about the fact that yours has a tail...

Say Whaat? perhaps I should open my Grinder and give it a quick look over to make sure it has all it's parts?

So FT quickly replied to my email and said to try loosening the screw to give the tail more clearance. I'll give that a go, hopefully I can get it to work satisfactorily. Strange that everything is so tight as you described.

Yes I only checked this so soon following what Trent reported with his. Best to check it over.

I had my Soar (Swoop for two days now)

Funny enough, I have no issues with the gold clips on its knee. Doesn't feel is going to break or anything, so I intend to keep using it till something actually breaks, (if it anint broken, dont fix it)

I altered the Soar's head that came with Grinder box and it looked more natural feel.

So far the feet seems to be a ted loose for my liking and I was surprised that was not on ratchet.

Some down points, the rear (bending part) of the knee may rub against the rear part of the legs causing paint wear, pretty minor concerns for me.

The stand could have more flexibility in height adjustments and angle. > more like Gundam display stands

In my humble opinion, Fan Toys still done a great job. 7.5/10 for this dinobot.

In bird mode it looks magnificent, I think it looks better in Chrome wings but I havent had the chance to change them.
