The Sexual Shiite posted:Nothing’s broken, that pin-screw looks like it’ll screw right back in, but I’m not sure of the best way to get it screwed in. Is it actually a screw, and not a force-fit pin with a knurl? Wild. Ok, well, there's a couple things I think you could do: You could drill two pinholes in the head and screw it in using a pair of fine needlenose pliers or a c-clip plier (if you have one), or you could hotglue it to a dowel or an allen key, drive it in with that, and take the glue off once it's in. Isopropyl alcohol loosens hot glue and should be relatively friendly to toy plastics (unlike acetone).

Well hopefully you can fix it! That's too drat expensive to just have breaking due to fiddlin'. In other news, Target had a $25 off $100 coupon and I am a weak-willed man:  Really only wanted Sixgun (badly) but also found some Botbots I didn't have yet... and Starscream and Soundwave... and then Prowl was there, too... e: It was pretty funny watching my wife try to carefully pry open the flap on the botbots... "What is W9?" "I think that's 6M" "Ok, do you need 6M?" e2:

Thankfully I'll probably have a job again soon, so buying Transformers stuff won't be too much of a strain on my finances if I space it out properly

Double dose of top-tier YT TF content today for subscribers, Thew has his Skytread review up, and Chris McFeely has The Basics on The DJD, should be interesting.

Making sure they don't have broken dicks. I've been selling off some stuff on Ebay since I'm trying to declutter, and I got a nice message from someone who bought an MP Wheeljack thanking me for selling it and it will be his first MP figure.

Lol I picked up some series 2 botbots that just showed up at the store and for one of them, the conditioner bottle, the plate thing disguising their face was like melted or glued on to their face so I had to force it off with some tweezers and it ended up ripping a portion of the face's print off with it, gonna probably contact hasbro about that and also see if I can't get a replacement. Also, the ham hock one, hamurai, was one I was initially indifferent about but I found out that the bone on his head actually comes out to reveal a sword and now I'm miffed that he gets a cool sword and game over doesn't  Can't find a good pic of the toy with the sword though, and meanwhile game over's art has this sword and I'm just thinkin "drat that sucks, I want my stupid game controller transformer to have a circuit board sword"

Ok, after closer examination, it is definitely a screw, not a knurl on masterpiece megatron. It’ll screw back in, just gotta get something to hold to it. Instead of glue, I think I’m going to try doing it with a new stock pencil eraser.

Gundam are a natural extension of my TF love and a great timesink if that kind of kit interests you. Since you seem to love big chonks, I’d recommend an MG Zaku 2.0 (any of that mold) or the RG Sazabi.

Looks good, I must remember to order some with my next Gunpla order. A reminder to check out the Brave series with its shared DNA as well. For anyone to whom it means anything, I'm doing a customised GNX influenced by Tarn.

Speaking of pins. Does it seem like Siege as a line has a lot of spots that feel conspicuously like they should have been pinned and may be had originally been planned to? The Starscream chest is an obvious one but I noticed a couple others that seemed like weird choices. On Chromia the blue plastic piece on the front of her pelvis is sorta loosely on there. It can be moved but it serves no purpose for posability or transformation. It feels sorta like a piece that would have been pinned or otherwise fixed in place. Ironhide's leg panels kinda give me that feeling too. Cost cutting measure? Robot toy nerd paranoia? Edit: Oh, I guess I need to try this to fix Ironhide. https://www.playwithphotography.com/2019/03/15/fixing-transformers-siege-ironhides-pop-off-panels/ Anyone else give it a go?

Nice one! For some reason some still didn’t have numbers but that might be printing errors. Number 23 had no number at all, but this was VERY helpful, thank you!

So my detolf is still shaking a bit, and my TFs slowly slide toward to front. I can't seem to do much about a bit of shake, so any suggestions on how to hold them in place, in a non-permanent way? E.g. are there any little transparent rubber pads I could use or something? They always slide in the one direction, so even if it's just something I can put in front of their feet I think that would do the job.
