Re: Repair Thread

Alternatively, buy a junker astrotrain (broken bad condition one) for cheap that has the pin you need, then knock it out and keep the pin.

Re: Repair Thread

I have been recommended to use this instead of superglue or nail polish for tightening joints:

Re: Repair Thread

You could try putting it in the freezer, the plastic will shrink slightly and perhaps if it is caught on something the slight shrinkage will loosen it/release it.

Re: Repair Thread

It looks/sounds like it's essentially a plastic rivet that doesn't go all the way through.

I don't think there would be any way to get in there and tighten that joint without trying to take it...

Re: Repair Thread

So, to revive this thread slightly, not all toys have issues (chrome from G1 doesn't seem to flake like beastwars does, and some plastics don't fall apart like gold plastic does.

I do believe...

Re: Repair Thread

I would be surprised if the vacuum metalized "chrome" was chipping or flaking off while sitting on the shelf...usually such wear is associated with rubbing of pieces. then again I don't have many so...

Ratchet joints really? The kind that click when you move them? Could be the ratchet part is cracked...that results in less pressure being applied than should, and can create a floppy joint (at...

Re: Repair Thread

Quite a few questions, but I have no answers for any of you, except maybe Matrixholder.

Not having the figure I don't know what the joint is like, but if it's plastic on plastic, some clear nail...

Re: Repair Thread

Unfortunately I can't help you, I have never taken one apart, but I'm sure it is possible. Most transformers can be taken apart, some more or less than others.

I can only give general tips, look...

Re: Repair Thread

Universe cyclonus has a similar issue with his wings, you can only see one end of the pin, not the other, so you can't knock it out...

If I have any ideas I'll let you know.

Re: Repair Thread

Yeah, to clarify the issue with mine was it was no longer "square" and so the little latch that should release was sticking as a result. If that's your issue, you might be able to bend it back...

Depends on the problem. Mine did the same thing because it was warped slightly out of shape. I disassembled him (watch out, there's a spring that goes flying when you open him up). I used a hair...

Hmm...perhaps someone with an Alternity prime can compare the pics to theirs, see if there is something wrong?

I'm sure there must be a few members on here who have Alternity Prime.

Wow, sorry I didn't notice this message sooner.

Soap and water is generally best at cleaning and removing stickers. If the stickers are really tough, some rubbing alcohol can help.

Hydrogen Peroxide can be found at the dollar store in 3% concentration, brown bottles.

It can be found in pharmacies apparently, probably in higher than 3% concentration (used to bleach hair or...

Re: Repair Thread

Apparently soaking in Hydrogen Peroxide in a glass jar, and leaving the jar in the sun, does the job. How long you soak depends on how strong the hydrogen peroxide is (3% v. 20% for instance). Be...

Torres, first, welcome to the boards. Now, to answer your question: it depends. If you repaint them, chances are you might not be able to resell them. That's the first consideration I guess.

Either stronger solution, or longer time.
