Wolfman Jake wrote:I just opened up my Rodimus Prime earlier this evening. The exhaust pipe hinges work just fine on my copy. They're not tight, letting me turn them easily, and they're not too loose either, so they'll hold their positions properly in eithers mode. There are two "stops" in the form of plastic pegs sticking out of the red plastic sides on mine that guide how far to turn the pipes between alt mode and robot mode. Does yours have these stops sculpted in, Lore Keeper?

I don't think I've ever seen more than two of the same Leader at any given store and they were usually gone the next day. I think the last time I saw more than two of the same leader at once was the Dark of the Moon line.

You're probably right. If they're coming from the same area then they're certainly coming from the same warehouse.
