I broke the nose cone on my MP Starscream. =T (Help/Suggestions)

[kiko]

So yeah, what the title says... and I just purchased it today.

Long version:
I was sitting on my bed flying it around being a dork, when my cell phone rang, when I reached for it with my left, I had hit the nose cone off.

The actual hinge is snapped/broken, and I think I can glue it to fix it, but I've never done anything like this before, so I was hoping someone could suggest a product or method to solve it.

This just happened ten minutes ago and I felt enough rage to rant, since this was to be officially my fave TF toy.

I will post pics after I find batteries for my camera to make it easier.

P.S. I almost cried. T_T
Haha.

Pics upped.

Ouch...I feel your pain. I'll leave some other experts to suggest how to fix it though because I don't have an MP Starscream and wouldn't know what I was talking about. Just wanted to let you know I sympathize.

Haha. Thanks bro... Yeah, I had the toy (not broken) for about an hour. I decided to stuff myself with green tea cake to calm myself.

My bestfriend was like, "buy another one.. problem solved". Haha.

have you thought about trying a model plane for parts?i know alot of model planes have the same swivel at the nose cone(just to show the radar details)im just not sure if theres a f-18 model that would be the exact scale as mp screamer.or if you're good with a drill and have a steady hand you could drill 2 small holes into both pieces(where it originally broke),insert 2 metal pins and glue him back together.(pins are just for added strength cause its a pivot point)just some thoughts

That was very helpful. =D

Other than buying toys, I don't much.. and truth be told, this was the first one I broke. Unlucky.

Last resort is I just glue it, and never have the function of opening it again. =T

Starscream is an F-15 Strike Eagle

yeah loosing the functionality of the nosecone is better than spending the money to get another one, its not a readily available figure to take it back to the store lol
