Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Does it make sense to only get 3 of the 4 though???
Does it makes sense for us grown ups to have more toys than most kids out there?

Of course it does - growth over time should be expected. We get taller, heavier, have more money, etc. as we age. Acquiring tangible property should be the same. If a person has even a low purchase rate of five toys per year, then a 30yr old will obviously have a collection of 150 toys vs. a ten year old's collection of 50 toys. Even if purchase rate declines over time, the adult should still end up having more toys than a comparable child.
The only way an adult would have fewer toys would be if they entered an extended period of negative growth - that would mean they were actually eliminating toys from their collection, and outside of some calamity be falling a person, that doesnt make sense.

Actually it makes a lot of sense. I don't think you have to go very far on the forums to find stories about parents selling their kids' Transformers in yard sales while they're at college, or the kids themselves getting rid of their Transformers when they grow up because they feel they're too old for them and they're too 'uncool'. Getting rid of toys as you grow older is not a very unusual phenomenon in the slightest.

It would probably help if you said which combiner you were having problems with. But it sounds like you have Menasor which the chest minion can be fixed by shaving off a little bit of the pegs it sits on. As far as the arms go, the motormaster mold is known to have a loose connection at the shoulders but unless something is broken it shouldn't be that bad. Are you sure you're transforming it properly?

It's a mix, but I am using the motormaster mold without the fixed hips. It's Optimus+Rodimus+Wheeljack+Smokescreen+Swindle+Blast Off. Waiting for the final limbs of Bruticus and Sky Reign.

My Wheeljack's combiner peg joint doesn't have a very tight ratchet, so he's too floppy to be a leg. But I don't think he's that bad, and my Smokescreen is pretty solid.

He can be whatever you want, that the point of scramble city. He was never a combiner anyways so any predetermined position is purely trivial.
