Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Doesn't look to be the case atm... I prefer to buy local too, but if there are any AM figures that really tickle your fancy, I'd get 'em from Japan rather than gamble on a Hasbro release maybe or maybe not coming out. I've already purchased Skywarp and I'm placing an order on Breakdown (although I won't see either of them until around Xmas/NY time )

Those are the 2 I'm after :-) Think I'll take your advice and just order them at BBTS. Got a "pile o' loot" that needs shipping soon.

I'm actually terrified of snapping the ball joint with the amount of pressure I'm putting on the head to try and get it to fold down and it's still not budging. My figure is equipped with an iGear head if that makes any difference.

You need to hold the auto morph sections out while you do it, there is a step angle that part of the structure gets caught on, inside, you an see it if you hold the two sides apart.

Hope this helps. I had exactly the same problem

The stickers on my encores are falling off, any suggestions as to what glue I should use to stick 'em back on?

If i were you i'd just get a roll of double sided sellotape from a newsagency. You can easily cut to exact size then pop sticker back on no problems.

I use normal glue stick, the same one that kids would use at school. It is pretty effective at staying on (need to hold down until it dries) and doesn't seem to damage the plastic underneath but I would not try it on painted die cast.

Sadly it's the stickers on the die cast that are peeling off, I'll try the double sided tape idea unless that's not recommended for die cast

You could always just get a new set of stickers from Reprolabels?

[Gutsman Heavy]

Way too expensive, if it were just one fig it wouldn't be so bad.

I picked up a G1 First Aid today and it needs new stickers. Who is the best mob to get them off? has anyone used said mob?
