Just came from the TRU in Buford. They have about 3 of the Joe and the Cobra 3-packs and 3 Danger at the Docks sets. I picked up 1 of each. I thought I was done with Joes, but they looked really nice.

For anyone who has snagged a DOTD set, does your Flint have one leg longer than the other?

Yes, just like the Firefly and Lifeline, the right leg is longer. I went to the Buckhead TRU earlier and found a DATD and wanted two. When they searched the inventory for other stores, there should have been more in stock. Now I throw a single piece up in the attic storage on occasion for people here. Couldn't believe what was hiding up there! 6 three packs, 2 DATD, 3 night vipers and a bunch of marvel universe figures.

Oh, forgot to mention Flint's forearms are on backwards just like Mouse. 30 seconds on each side with the hair dryer fixed that problem.

I didn't even realize. What does the hair dryer do? Free the socket up to release the elbow joint and turn them? I don't customize a lot so that's a foreign concept to me.

The heat softens the plastic to make it easy to pop out the elbow and wrist joint plugs. Swap the forearms and put the hands back on. Makes a huge difference in articulation and gun holding ability.

Putting the arms for 70 sec in hot water from a Kureg is pretty quick too.
Didn't know that about the arms. Will have to look and see if they are backwards. Kennesaw TRU is out of DATD, but they have 2 and 3 packs. Hopefully the vehicles will be restocked soon, along with BBZ.

Hairdryer is faster with less mess imho.

True. I was giving an option for those tankers that are not married or metrosexual enough.
