I cut the peg off entirely and fashioned a new piece that I glued on up higher so the pack would sit lower.

I was thinking about this, but I didn't know what to grab for a new peg and a glue to make sure it stayed in. Suggestions?

Here's some new photos from my collection, I bought one of the Elite Forces M1 Abrams tanks from SmallJoes.com and it works pretty good with the new GI Joes.

A couple more, I also upgraded Bazooka's arsenal with one of their modern weapons packs.

I used superglue and the middle part of a tine from a plastic fork (a nicer kind - clear, sturdier plastic). I glued it to the underside of the support piece inside the upper half of the pack.

Nice pics. I so wish I had bought one of those from Target last year when they were on clearance.

I remember seeing those and I was tempted to get one, but was heavily into Star Wars at the time and didn't have the space for it. I definitely regret it now, but $40 from SmallJoes wasn't so bad. There's no way I would have paid any more for it though.

I did the same thing with mine. I only wish the backpack didn't sit so high but for me, it's good enough.

One thing I am going to try but just havent found the time is:

Make some casts of 25th backpack/jetpacks(Already done this)

Cut the new style peg off one of the casts.

Dremel off the old style peg from the VvV Televiper backpack and glue the new style on.

I already have 2 of the VvV Televipers to use, just havent had time to do the mod since I just found the new Trouble Bubble yesterday. I will post pics when I get the chance to mod it.
