I passed on this guy, but everytime I see it, I keep thinking that I should get him.

I might wait until my local comic shop gets it in to pick it up there.

 

[Legendary Hunter]

ordered him from biginjap on Sat. and it's going to be delivered on Wed

Anyone else have any trouble getting the back section off to insert the batteries. That was a *****.

Another props to Big In Japan, I bought a Starboost from them on eBay on the 28th, got it today. Unreal. No import charges.

Yep they are amazing. 3 days to get him from them. Well packaged too. Definitely will go to them again.

Damn you UPS! Driver drops off Maleficent last Friday at 7pm, which is the usual time for UPS to arrive at my place.

Driver shows up today at 11:45 am....

Yes, its a really weird angle you have to push and pull to get it off. I went to the instructions a few times as I was sure I was about to break something

Got mine today and when I opened the box I knew something was wrong. His left arm wasn't attached at all. All of the foam protective pads were all in place. It almost looked like the arm was just set in there. I tried to pop it back in but every time I moved the arm it came out again. Already called SS, talked to a rep and filed a claim. Now just waiting to see if they will send a new arm or exchange out the whole figure.

I think it was Danoboy (hope I got his name right) that posted a review and this was his "issue" as well, which turned out to not be an issue at all, his shoulder joint is just like the MK42 which pops out to provide more Range of motion, try popping that piece out first and then inserting the arm....you might be over reacting, I know my MK42's shoulder joint pops out easy from time to time

I tried that but it still does not stay in. Rep said they thought it might be an issue of the socket being too tight that it won't seat correctly. I sent pics so it's up to them now.

 

[ksteezy]

Did you try blow drying the socket?

 

[Centrocal]

heres the review with the shoulder problem

I ended up doing what Shartimus Prime said he did to his. I'm not all that concerned about it because it's not essential or visible but still. Keeping that damned piece off unless I'm taking pics of his back.

 

[ksteezy]

Did you break it?

 

[LexiKon318]

Yeah man after struggling with it for a while and then getting it off inserting the batteries and putting it back on, I noticed that little tab had broken off at some point. Crazy how difficult the piece was to remove in the first place.
