MP Rodimus Convoy issues

[Gouki]

I've mentioned this before but here's a reminder - a paypal dispute doesnt work on non-ebay transactions.

paypal will do nothing to help you when you buy outside of ebay. simple as that. this is my #1 hated fact about paypal.

Wrong. I started a dispute because I had a mysterious, false transaction appear on my Paypal account. To this day I still don't know what it was for or where it came from, but it wasn't eBay.

Got a reply from Ray saying he will forward to his boss, guess I will play the waiting game now?

I don't mean to spread panic but everyone needs to examine the ankle joints on their MP9s. Thje metallic spring in the ankle joint has been unwinding on lots of toys. If it pops out below the foot then you are royally screwed. Have a look at these links from TFW. Its a fairly common problem and apparently with time and multiple transformations it will affect your MP9. Its happened to Tober and its happened to me as well. There is apparently a fix as indicated in the links that involves opening up the joint and re-winding the spring. I plan to try this operation myself in the next couple of days. If I can pull it off I'll post my comments on it.

Edit - links fixed

Its happened once to my ones left foot. I put it back in and has been fine. I have been thinking of getting a new softer spring in or just removing it and tightening the joint.

Boy, this figure has been nothing less than issue after issue. It is technically a good toy with a solid engineering concept but it seriously seems as if they didn't bother to test the prototype at all before mass producing it.

Edit: BTW your links are not working

well, looks like i got the very short end of the stick on this toy :/

asside from the very weak back and chest connections, which seem bad on alot of people's toys, the grey shin/calf cover on the right foot (the non hinged piece) is already stuffed. the moment i put my hand on it to transform it, it just fell off:

Since this is a very common problem with this toy (among others), I made a tutorial on how to fix it some weeks ago:

Unfortunately we all got the short end of the stick when purchasing this figure since the flaws are not in it's QC but sloppy design.
