Because he's plenty available at BBTS and for 94$US.

That reissue make sense for the Asian market, but it make absolutely no sense to buy the re-issue from BBTS while the other is available for almost 100$US less!
So, buy the Platinum while you still have the chance. It's an amazing combiner well worth your money.
Substandard packaging on what they still have. Might be worth that $100 different in price to some. Not me, but I already have 3 original g1 Predacons, 94 bucks is to rich for me in order to get the set for the tiger and the bull/buffalo (whatever the non rhino foot is) anyway.

Is it for the vintage original, the first reissue, or the Platinum?

So it's the all plastic one. As Jelze said above, you may have to disassemble the faulty part. Maybe something broke or came loose inside.

Yeah, the Platinum was basically the 2010 reissue with several of its stickers pre-applied, five sheets of more stickers, and a gold redeco of Prime Beast Hunters Optimus Prime's sword.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:But the Welcome to TF 2010 one was gold too.-Kanrabat- wrote:Seriously, the Reissue is pointless when the Platinum is half the price.

Seriously? It may be just a placeholder stock photo.
Let's wait for the actual in-hand images.
And if it's the EXACT SAME THING as the Platinum........![]()

Read that on the Wiki, but it could be a mistake.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Yeah, the Platinum was basically the 2010 reissue with several of its stickers pre-applied, five sheets of more stickers, and a gold redeco of Prime Beast Hunters Optimus Prime's sword.
Are you sure about the pre-applied stickers? Because I remember clearly that there was none. the figures were clean as a newborn's bottom and there was LOTS of stickers to apply and it took a long time.

SpacerAM2 wrote:so how can I tighten rampage and dive bomb's hips? cause every time I put the predaking fists in between their legs the hip screws loosen up again even when I tighten them up. thank you.

All I can suggest is if you don't mind the screw being PERMANENT, you can always use some glue.
If the screw is metal on metal, then you're in business. Some Loctite Thread Locker will do the job marvellously. Just use enough to cover the threads. In absence of air the glue will cure and seal the screw in permanently. If the glue is left in air, it will remain liquid. THAT GLUE WILL NOT WORK OR DAMAGE PLASTICS HOWEVER.
If the screw is screwed in plastic, then you may use normal Crazy-Glue. Be very, very careful so that the glue don't run in any joints or you will RUIN your figure.
As a Doc Frankenstein type of customiser, that's the only solutions I can come up with.
