i got him at my local walmart and he is now sitting in front of me in all of his awesomeness. but when i pulled him out of the package nothing wrong then came to head i noticed that it was really loose and i took a closer look and the head was coming apart!!!!! :-x it was the screw, it was put in lopsided so i had to get it out and glue his head together. so he has no screw in his head. that really pissed me off :-x !!!! he was the last one. did anyone else have this problem? if so did it piss you off as much it did me? :-? :-x :-x :-x :-x :-x the glue is drying and i need to keep a close eye on it. :-B

That's the first time I've heard of this particular problem, but it doesn't surprise me. The glue should hold it just as good as the screw would have though.

Sorry to hear about your Sideswipe issues. The head on mine is perfect, but his ankle joints are very loose.

The modern Chinese child is a complete slacker!
What are they teaching 3 year old over there anyway?

Sorry about your troubles with Sideswipe. As for mine, he is perfect except that one of his arms likes to pop every once in awhile during either transformation process.

Kids these days...I think the issue is they don't allow the kids to be whipped anymore while they work, so they start day dreaming and what not.. :-x

I got mine today but the roof of the vehicle wouldn't rotate properly. As you know the roof rotates and the head pops up. Mine would not rotate all the way even though the head came up into the correct position. Luckily it was a very easy fix. I just removed the 5 screws from the main body and reset the head. Now it works perfectly. Anybody else have that problem?
