That's a legit good price for a leader figure with those accessories. Problem is, after handling one, I can't think of a price where I would actually like this toy. Some pieces are so loose they just fall off.

The boiling water trick, or a heat gun solves this problem. I realize you should never have to do either of those to a toy, and it should be good out of the box, but this toy is seriously good once you fix the loose parts. Heck, if anyone in my neck of the woods was nervous about doing it, I'd be glad to help (after lockdown).

Haven't had a chance to open mine yet. But is it heat it up and then hold the part in place until it cools and then it doesn't fall off as easy?

Pretty much. The hinges on the wings are bent outwards, and there is almost no friction holding them on place. Heat up the part, and bend the parts into their intended position.

I would recommend using a pair of silicon tipped kitchen tongs to grab the part, and a pair or needle nose pliers to bend the part to prevent burning yourself, because it's very easy to burn yourself! The boiling water is the safest method, as there is less room for error. I just used a heat gun because I have one and am very confident using it.

Thanks! Ya my wife's hair dryer is usually good enough for what I need to get done. But will see once I finally get him out of his packaging.

Could you explain how to do that with the wing? Also, do we know if deals on the website go hand to hand with deals found in store?

My studio series 86 gnaw and his 2 sharkticon henchmen shipped out yesterday at 6pm so I didn't think I would get it for at least a few day but they just showed up! Good luck to everyone else who ordered from ebgames

Ebgames Canada came through again. Gott ss86 sharkticons delivered today, they were supposed to be out next month. Score.
