People in comments are spitting so much acid that could be sold in the next wave of the Snakemen in motu

This line is not for those people

As much as I agree that given how hard it is to earn our pay, we should get our money's worth but more often than not, just look at the Furai/FT thread or even the mainline MP sections, the hate and bile are from people who really are not invested in the lines. More like a dopamine rush/trip  There are indeed issues like Hound's crunchability or Tracks being a sorry mess (his 2ndary market demand is atrocious greatly reinforces this), MP-44's fragile knees, MPG's almost Hound level material sturdiness etc etc that for sure but as you said TT didn't force any of us to support the line.  Easily ignored DO NOT BUY!

Did he break a figure again?

I've seen those sales and kind of retroactively kick myself. I guess I'll hold off and wait this time. One last thing, any idea how long after release they tend to go on sale?

TFSource had a pretty good sell last month on all 4, probably will see it again come Black Friday. Amazon might have some available the closer we get to release.

Has every single one gone on sale on Pulse?

Yep. That’s how I got Getsuei and Yukikaze. Would’ve got Shouki as well if he didn’t sell out within 2 hours of being discounted. I don’t remember how long Getsuei lasted, but Yukikaze was available up until the last day of the most recent sale

I'm seeing Seizan for $118 at amiami before shipping. Does any place have him for cheaper?

If you don’t want to wait for a hasbro pulse sale, yea that’s a better option right now, depending on how shipping tallies up.

I think that's the best without amazon.

Judging by the photos, the only thing I can think of in order to fix the broken joints is the following method. Take a drill (hand held or motorized with a drill bit size of your choosing) and measure both sides with a ruler, mark the center spot of both with a marker, drill a hole on both ends, take a pin or metal rod and cut it to size, glue the pin in one side, glue both halves together, and finally leave it to cure for 24 hours (while slightly moving the joints every so often so that the joint doesn't get frozen because of the glue.) In theory it should work judging by the breakage, and I have had this work for me several times before, but mileage may vary. Good luck.

Thanks, i think that what was broken is the clear cilinder, so i should slam out the metal pin before, but it could be complicated

Oh yea, my foot for Shouki broke and I kinda made a replacement joint – you just need to clear out a bit of the area and add a 3D printed part I made. I’ll PM info later when I have time.

thanks, i appreciate it!

Folks, i need help:
Basically the plastic arount the joint has broken in a inusual way, how can i repair it? Shouki feet there

I'm leaving all of them in the box and waiting until I have all 6 to combine them; the individual figures are interesting and look good, but I don't want to risk botching something and losing combiner privileges.
