I recently bought my DOTM Starscream, but he came with some issues. For one, his weapons were loose when combined, but I took care of that.
But there's another problem. His jet mode front part is a little loose, so when he' not touching the ground with his landing gear, he looks down a little.
I found that this 'screw'is loose. Any suggestions?

I would suggest taking it back for a replacement if you're not able to fix it...... The only thing I can come up with.

Hmm, that would be a little difficult. Isn't there any trick like glue or something to tighten up that joint?

Can you tighten the screw w/ a screw driver?
The glue trick is mainly used on ball joints. Since I don't own this version of Starscream, I don't know if the glue trick would work on this type of joint.

You can't: the joint in question is a twin double hinge, to provide space for the head to go through. As they're hinges, they're set with metal rods, not screws (screws have indents, either a straight line for a flathead screwdriver, or the more common cross for a Phillips). Like ball joints, they rely totally on friction, which I why I slightly detest them. They're also nigh-impossible to disassemble.

Unfortuenately I have both problems with Starscream. They don't bother me, and I don't quite know how to fix it, since the screw that you circled is a hinge screw. You might need to google it or somethin'....
P.S: I guess you could say my 1st Starscream's guns were tight, because I plugged them in, but once I pulled them apart, the peg plastic snapped right off. I got another one but now the new one has it a bit loose.

I solved the blades issue with glue on the pin that connects the weapons, made it very solid and it does not pop off easily anymore.
