Finished up my binge of the original Animated Series this morning ... woof, I vaugely remember the animation style taking a turn at the end there but man, what a stinker. Fired up the first two eps of '97 and holy crap, it blew me away. They totally redeemed that last season of the original...

Welcome, what figures do you have in your collection?

My theory is that there's too much glue in the hand socket, so it doesn't have enough 'clearance' to hold securely. Something like, the hand peg length is 2cm, the magnet thickness is 1cm, so they modeled the hand socket to have a depth of 3cm, but applying a 'drop' of glue is very imprecise, so...

Thanks, this is a good tip. I was able to remove one of the magnets once I was able to heat up the hand. It fits much more snugly now, but it's not quite as secure as the hands with the magnet, so I can definitely see why they added the magnets. But it would still make more sense to have the...

I'm thinking about taking a more surgical approach to fixing my Gandalf hands. I'm going to try to remove the glue holding the magnets in place. I've read that 99% isopropyl alcohol will remove super glue without harming the plastic, so that's my first stop. Only problem is I'm not sure what...

Would be cool if they re-released Chewbacca. It seems like Han was re-released at least once, it feels like I've seen him up for pre-order on BBTS a few times, maybe it's just leftover stock. Either way, Chewie would be cool.

This is a good tip, and I have a pair of tweezers like this, but in my case, and I'm assuming with others as well, there is still too much glue under the magnet, adhering the magnet to the hand. I've scraped off glue on top of the magnet in the peg hole, the peg hole is still too shallow to grab...

I received a replacement left hand for the hand that wouldn't fit securely on the peg, and wouldn't you know it, the replacement hand doesn't fit either. Not sure if it's a straight up manufacturing/mold issue, or if it's just too much glue in the hand, but comparing the hands that do fit, the...

Bigger photo here, it looks like the whole outfit is fabric ... which is a bummer because that means I'll probably have to buy it. :p I remember being very close to buying the first Mythos statue, but just because it was all sculpted, it didn't really fit. Not that 1/4 scale statues are any...

You can't pre-order it. Game Toys just made a limited amount and sold them to the local market. So, it basically sold out as soon as it was available for sale.

Yeah, the Fractal case was recommended in the build guide that I was using at the time, it's been 10+ years. When so many of the other cases had windows or some other gimmick, that was just about the only one that was plain and simple. For the monitors, I was using two older Dells, couldn't...

Hah, I have the same case, or rather an older version. I had to put electrical tape over the blue LED. It's so freakin bright. Do you just use one large monitor? I've been using two monitors for such a long time, but it seems like people are moving, or have already moved, to a single larger...

Wasn't the original ANH Stormtrooper $200? Now the ROTJ Stormtrooper is $240. How is that a 100% price increase?

The show was cool for how faithful it was to the aesthetic, but I'm somewhat frustrated by the plotline. This was not "Season 1", this was like that thing that was common a few years ago, how they'd break up final seasons into two parts to keep interest high. Why they plotted these first six...

I think the issue with the magnet connection on the hand is that, in some cases, there is too much glue in the hand socket, and that extra mm thickness makes it so the peg doesn't seat properly in the hand, so it makes it loose. On mine, it seemed like two of the hands didn't seat securely on...

Whoever said that was making it up, because no company will ever say anything other than "Stay tuned."

I had the same experience. Seems like the hands not fitting is a common issue. The magnets fell out of the hands of mine as well. I'm not fussed about putting them back in as I don't really think they did anything. The friction of the peg in the hand is what really keeps them in place. I was...
