Same here. I recall this happening before but can’t remember for what. They ended up adjusting it and dropping it back down.

I got the one from like years ago. 2012 maybe? He looks like he is leaning to the side.

https://yakfaceforums.com/main/tag/retro-collection/ It's maddening. Too much gimmicks anymore. Carbonized, credit collection, modern retro, odd scales, Christmas decor. They're over thinking this.

That is Disney for you. Absorb a property, over think the hell out of it, milk it for all its worth, and then spit it out. Star Wars will look like baby voldemort under the bench at the end of harry potter when disney is done.

Yeah, I don't really understand why 1: they're taking characters from a modern show, and making the figures 1980s style... And 2: they're making some of these modern characters 80s style BEFORE we even get them in TVC or Black Series.

Amazon especially has a tendency to "price spiral." Like, a DC 4" pack of Superman and Cyborg just kept dropping in price over a period of weeks until it reached $5.60 (or something) and I finally bought it because that was too cheap to pass up and makes for a good Toys For Tots gift. Not 30 minutes later, the price jumped back up to $13-something. Now, I've noticed this before (one time I got a new AC condenser for my car for $12.00 and it then jumped up to the $70-80 price it should've been), and while it sure feels like Amazon was just waiting for me to buy it, I'm pretty sure it's more a case of something getting stuck in a price-decrease "loop" and when someone buys it at a ridiculously low price, Amazon is like, WTF!? and they adjust the price up where it's supposed to be.

So random question to everyone. Just bought that Mandalorian AT-ST from bestbuy and I was wondering if there were any mods or tricks to help strengthen the joints in the legs to help it stand better. I have the basic VC version, and while it has these hex peg like leg joints that lock the legs in place, there's still a LOT of wiggle room which means the thing topples over unless the legs are standing directly up. Things get even worse with two figures in the cockpit.
Was hoping if anyone knew a quick, cheap and easy way to keep these....admittedly silly designed walking tanks...from constantly falling over outside of a static standing pose. |

I think the plastic on the later releases just got softer. I have the original release, and the first rerelease, and the difference is dramatic. It's a bummer.

I heard the originals were prone to breaking, so it's a no win situation. I have the K-Mart ROTJ boxed version, falls over all the time.
Try some star wars boards for fixes. I seem to recall someone doing something. I never messed with mine. |
