The fact he takes a minute to balance IS an issue.

Easiest way to fix those ankles is to wrap thread around the joint and tie it off when it's the desired tightness. Super easy and takes a min to do. I have 2 springers in my displays and one for my misb collection. The ankle were the only issue I had with him, I found the transformation intuitive and enjoyable.

Just tried mine out, nothing loose on the legs/ankles. I find the transformation very intuitive and for once the instructions are actually decent.

I do find the tabbing for the arms/shoulders a little tough to line up at times.

Got my Springer a few days ago. My thoughts:

The transformation was not intuitive, really - the instructions were required at a couple of points.
AND: there are fiddly bits that were annoying. As to the OP's comment: an 8-year-old will get frustrated with this right away (although lucky for me, I'm not 8 any more).

BUT: now that I have done it a couple of times, it's not as though it's impossible to do without the instructions. Although those fiddly bits are tiresome.

AND: his ankle joints are fine (might be a QC problem on a number of other figures) He stands up on his own without slumping.

BUT MOSTLY: He looks freaking AWESOME in bot-mode. THIS is the Springer that I have wanted since 1986. The IDW version was always a good toy, but not my G1 Springer.

As always, ymmv.

I got the Generations Springer for $20 recently MISB. Is this Springer worth buying?

Guess it depends on what look you prefer. Just opened mine last night. Put him into copter mode for a start. Mess with him more tonight but so far so good

When have the voyagers been on sale for 25$? I thought 30$ was the cheapest they got this year.

30 is the lowest they've been at Tru or Walmart for siege. Gone are the days of $14 voyage sales or even $20.
