And who cares if you PM'd him first? It's up to him as to who he deals with and who he doesn't.

Don't be a prick.

Not being a prick. Sorry if I came off as one. He obviously saw and clicked the topic of the post saying that I lost a peice off mine and was requesting help, just like YOU did. You don't have to be psychic to kinda put 2 and 2 together that he was offering that to help me out.

Again I'm sorry if I came off as a prick I wasn't intended to be, it's hard to interpret someone's attitude via the written word.

Maybe the BB should be tore up to pieces and divided among the claimants?

Each probably need different parts anyway.

hey, just so you won't feel bad, worse things have happened to me. it's not the shoulder cap that i lost, but the whole freakin' gun! i was madly desperate a few days after that, good thing a local mall still had a 08 left, so i bought it during payday.

wow!
zemper you must be very lucky!
here in manila its a war on searching for bb08!
wooaaahh!

lucky indeed. i wonder why here in the south (iloilo) we got more 08 BBs than you guys there. in SM alone, i counted not less than 5 BBs, possibly more. this is already a pretty high distribution rate for provincial malls.

to wit, i HAD 2 08 BBs, i had to sell of the first one because i lost his gun, for cheap also mind you (P 500), so i'm hoping that dude who got it was pretty happy by now. good thing there was still another one (last) left at the local SM so at payday i was able to grab him. and he is the star of my collection right now haha.

He's gonna be in retail soon, I'd say wait, get a new one and either return the broken one or have fun kitbashing!

I do feel your pain though, I have no idea what happened to my MP StarScreams trigger finger

Good idea. You can paint him into Cliffjumper.

Hasbro is coming out with a Camaro Cliffjumper soon. Exact twin of Bumblebee in red color. The racing stripe is slightly different.

I'd go for battle damage!

It's both more fun, and less work

yeah, makes me mad sometimes. heck, going price for deluxe arcee at toy shops there go for P 1,200.00! mad, i tell you. i bought my 2 08 BBs at SM for that price + 200.00.

for people who don't know Philippine currency, the movie figs at specialty hobby shops here average about 43.+ dollars (that's about P 1,200.oo i think), so you can see our gripe over here.

yeah i know dude,that's actually a really sad story here in manila.good for you still bro that you were able to buy tf deluxe in iloilo at srp.actually im planning to buy robovision prime,one local shop is selling robovision for 2500,voyager prime 2300,ironhide 2500 and other voyagers for 2k.i would just hope that regular toy stores here in manila would restocked tf movie toys. ..

LIE! take it back and tell the shop clerk you didn't get it, then blame him and get him fired. then get compensation because he swore at you! He he, it works!!!!

Dont bother with the glue, take the other yellow shoulder tab out, and leave him without them.
He looks great without them, you barely even notice they are gone.

I had mates over on Saturday, they were playing around with the Bee'ster, and somehow got both shoulder tabs off at the same time (I have only managed one at a time, so they put in a fair effort)

Put them somewhere safe, with other parts/weapons/missiles, and you can throw them up on ebay in a few years time and make a mint.

Is there a bidding for the BB parts?

Semi-knocked down?

One of mine fell off the first time I transformed him, but I just shoved it back on and it has stayed put since.
It really is a useless little piece though.

Ya know, I scoured this thread and seen the pictures, but for some reason I'm missing it. Could anyone please circle the exact part that everyone's talking about?

I already did that... you can see it circled in red... please review my previous post.

To the other Auto Bot, no I'm sorry there is no bidding for the parts, the toy is no longer available.

Lucky chum!

...that thing? It falls off and it's not permanently attached to the arm? WTF?

Bumblebee and Payload have crap just falling off of them? Seriously...wtf?

And thank you for the picture, I do appreciate it.

Mine keeps falling off, too. I believe it's an assembly problem. Both those little yellow pieces are identical on mine, but I think the piece in question should be a mirror version of the other. Can someone corroborate this?

First alternative try remembering where the part fell. Second alternative buy another at the store if you see it for 10 bucks. Third alternative spare parts can be found on ebay but you have to pay shipping for it in addition of the retail price it goes for.

It's not glued because a lot people move BB's arm using the shoulder joint. It's better that the whole thing falls out rather than have a chipped shoulder guard where a lot people will be touching. Pointy pointy.

I lost one too. Then I stole my son's.
