Ironhide is one of my favs, and i was soooo excited to get the remade voyager of him. But i can't seem to get his chest to lock in right. Is there some kind of trick to do it? The figure is just so awesome, if i can get the chest right, it would be perfect. Please and thanks.

Like mentioned, watch the review. And after that, know that the peg is kind of a stretch. Mine didn't easily take to being pushed down that far. It felt unnatural. The notch for the peg is at the bottom/backside of the grey chest piece. The tab is behind the hood panels. Just press firmly and eventually it will click in. You can peer in and see both the notch and the tab from the sides.
Caution though, when I did mine the first or second time, it force the from wheel off and also broke his arm off its little press in screw thing at the shoulder. I put the pin back in, but it easily falls back off. It's just not that strong of a connection. The wheel was less of an issue as it slides right back in.

ok, i watched the review, and i tried to hook it in, i see whats supposed to connect together, but it doesn't stay. like when i get my fingers back there, and physically hold the parts together, it looks right. the triangular gap formed by the angled front end pieces is fully covered by the grey chest piece, it looks perfect, but as soon as i let go, it pops out. no disrespect towards peaugh, i love his reviews, but i think in his review, the parts weren't connected all the way. does anyone have this problem too?

Hmm, I think the angled hood pieces go in front of the gray chest piece. Or at least thats how mine is working out.
