The Energon Pub

So the other day I splurged big-time and got a complete Devastator gift set from a reputable seller. I was quite happy with the quality of the individual toys, most of the joints were surprisingly tight for a 23 year old toy, and the chrome wear wasn't too fugly.

I was frustrated combining them into Devastator, though. Everything links together fine and tight, except for this one part. I have a feeling it's a common problem, so people who own it know what I'm referring to. It's the bottom wing, the 'pelvis', which is supposed to slide between Long Haul's wheels and the payload of the dump truck. Mine neither goes in all the way nor conects with a telltale 'click'. Consequently, any attempts to stand Devastator result in his upper torso falling off the bad connection.

Is this a common problem? And if so, what's the usual solution? Any help is welcomed, the Constructicons sure look pretty sitting in the box, but I really want my Autobot collection to PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION. :twisted:

I have a set I'm looking to get rid of. If you want, I'll give it to you for free.

*Waaaait, nevermind, it's the G1 you have. I thought it was the Classics for a moment there. Oh well.

Heeey wait a sec, I'll take it! What does you mistaking it for the G1 have to do with giving it away? :twisted:

Lol. Okay, just PM me your address and I'll send it to you on Monday.

Lol, I live in a far far away place, the shippingis ghastly. Though when I'm in Sairaag for Amelia's bachelorette party, you can give it to me when I'm done stripping. :twisted:

International shipping is not a problem. If you seriously want it, I will seriously give it to you.

I don't think Zelgadis will stand for that, man.

But the fact you know Slayers is awesome, and for that you get a bucket of cool points.

Sassen frassen wrassen frassen. Was trying to remember who was looking to sell a Classics Devy a while ago.
