OK here are pics.

I whon't get a refund, I bought this in the UK as it first came out, meaning that it's a year old.

How'd you break it?

Do you see any broken plastic or metal?

No as far as I'm concerned it's not broken. I moved his leg and of it came, it lokes like it wasn't gloed to the crouch!

Hey there one of my mp-04 prime also had the detachable legs problem, i probably got one of the 10-20% factory flawed ones stated on tfsource. The detachable legs don't bother me much since his hip plates keep them attached. +i like to transform him with the front side of his pelvis down so the yellow lights around so distracting in alt mode.
and ofcourse its always fun to have a loose prime around for my megs and screamer to wipe the floor with.

you could always superglue those legs without trouble or just leave it the way it is like me and rub him over with futurefloorwax to tighten his joints and make him shinier

Dont worry man, this happended on mine MP prime too. The leg can be attached back again and stay that way. the trick is to align the 2 notches on the leg with the correct notches in the crotch.

you will notice there are like 6 groves in the crotch. Only 2 of these grooves will hold the leg in place. takes a bit of trial and error to find the correct grooves and you may need to rotate the ratchet on the leg around in order to find the align them up.

OK thanks, I'll just glue it in. So this seems to be quite common.

This happened to me as well and I got it around the same time you did. Don't need to glue it as that would wreck the posability. Just line the groove in the thigh peg/cog/thingy with the grooves in his pelvis. If you look carefully on the main body, there are 2 grooves that are different to teh other 4 (i forget if they are thicker or thinner, but you can tell which are the ones I mean). Just line them all up and shove it in hard. It should stick. It may pop out over time, but that is after a lot of handling, and it keeps inserted for all those nice action poses.
