Does anyone know if you can pop the trailer walls completely off the base?

It's my little secret
Thanks to having a daughter ... I discovered small clear rubberbands that girls use in their hair for ponytails/braids and such (polybands). You can buy them at Walgreens in their hair section where hair ties/bands are.
This is the one I bought recently:

I just wrap the small little rubberband around the part that needs to be held in the open position and it works like a charm. I did the same in a lot of the Rescue Bots galleries and all of the galleries that have Mechtech-like weapons. Same with the "Powerizers" Voyager Class figures from TFP RID.

Take the springs out. They work better too, especially Starscream's blades.

Simply taking the springs out doesn't always give you good results. You'll often end up with a weapon that flops open or closed depending on how the figure is holding it. I always stiffen the mechanism, by working the plastic around the moving internal parts to create a snug interference fit, and/or shortening the posts that hold the weapon halves together, so the halves clamp down tighter. FWIW.

While I haven't experienced floppiness per say, I can see what you are getting at
as it moves much smoother with the lack of friction.
I wonder if those Polybands are small enough to use as a sort of rubber washer\gasket that can create the friction need, or if they are too big for the internal screw posts.

Are the polybands really visible in my galleries? If not, why don't you guys just use them in the manner that I do to keep them open?

To me Deluxe Prime seems to small for this trailer. I think Battle Blade Optimus Prime would be a better scale. Could someone post/send some pics of HFTD Battle Blades Prime with this trailer? I would really appreciate it.

After seeing this I immediately called my local Target and they said they had a few in stock. I rushed over and was able to nab one for $29.99. What made the trip sweeter was that I also got a TF Prime Soundwave.

Wow that is good news for fans wanting a cheaper alternative for a movie Prime with a trailer. Wal-Marts are far more common. Please post your pics and in what area you found the figure.
