I've looked all over and can't find anything for this. I have recently bought an 83 Duke and the chest will not screw together. Are there any fixes for this?

If the screw is wrong, try replacing it with one from same year out of a spare figure. Yes, it matters because some years used different sized screws. If the hold is too big, you may have to find a larger screw that will grab and hold the chest and back together. If it’s neither of these problems, exam the chest and back for signs of warping or and issues with the pegs that hold the torso pieces together. Hope this helps you.

you can also use little pieces of wood, think toothpick, to shim the chest to get grab on the screw.

To clarify, the Screw wouldn't grab the chest piece. Anyway it doesn't matter now. I swapped the Screw with one of the thigh screws. Worked like a charm and no issues at all. I didn't think the thigh screws were bigger, are they supposed to be? If so I never noticed during any of my "surgical procedures". Thanks for the feedback though
