Push the plate down when it even and central holding the horns down with your finger tips then rotate the plate all the way to the left or the right it will stick then.
You can sometimes get them to stay down in the middle position by pressing and holding the button and then pushing the horns down and then releasing the button.

You know, despite having sworn off Quake initially, if I can get some better weapons for him (that is, weapons that aren't just redecoes of Hardhead's) I might very well pull the trigger on him, as it were. Those colours really rock.
Though Krok is definitely the priority.

I managed to find Krok and Kup at a Walgreens and Krok is totally worth it. He's great, Kup too.
I've spent the last 2 months trying to find preceptor and topspin, I have 18 walgreens within 20 miles and it's all brainstorms and wave 2 so I finally said "save the gas, order them" I'll probably find both this week while shopping when I'm off because that's always what happens.
I can wait on Quake. I want him too but he's one I can wait and grab eventually.

I tend to favor the '84-'86 G1 characters, but Krok and Quake both have great colors, and the original Quake is one of the few post-movie figures on my G1 wishlist.

I was planning on skipping Krok, only because I already have the TFCC one. But since the whole lineup was available in a set I just grabbed them all. It's not like I don't have multiples of a ton of other guys.

So $90+ for 5 deluxe figures that are normally just $15 at retail, 1 of which I don't even want but since retail has been so crummy this year makes it's a gamble to pass on.
Hmm...I'll still wait.

They're pretty much 15.29-16.99 everywhere.
Each figure from BBTS comes out to be $18 a piece. So $1-2 more a figure. Not really a huge mark up. You'll spend way more than $5-10 in gas searching.

Nice job! The fusion cannon looks great with the black filled all the way in. The silver paint all over does wonders, even without any additional paint apps. Did you use a silver paint Sharpie pen for the body and a black Sharpie pen for the cannon?

So I just got off the phone with my 2 local TRU's, and not only did they never get the Chaos on velocitron set, but they are not ordering it in because Fort Max hasn't sold at either location. They each have 5 Fort Max's, some of which have been sitting in the stores since before Black Friday.
and also checking, the closest TRU with the set in stock is 5 hours away, and the set is not available to be ordered online. And I have a 15% off coupon and actual money to buy it with now.

Yea I constantly see FM at a bunch of local TRUs. To my knowledge, they haven't yet discounted it either.

That tends to be the logic these days but the hunt is only secondary for me while running errands, meaning that I only go in the Toy section at Target only because I was getting a Frappe from Starbucks on my way to work this morning anyway...Or after I've grabbed about $80 in groceries from a Super Walmart will I venture off to their toy aisle to see what's there (usually nothing new though)
So to be honest, I've been getting most of my TF figures from BBTS, Amazon and HTS the last 8 months. But I will call out Online companies when they play these games. Plus I only want 4 of these (they can keep Kup) which is only $60. So $30 will be going in the tank in this case.

Ah, messing around with Shuffler made me think: Hey, he's a sort of H-tank, he almost looks like Quake, and the HH/Quake mold can do that gerwalk/four legged-tank mode... someone could hypothetically make a deluxe shuffler.
And now I really want that to happen.

Yeah, TRU in the US is the absolute worst at discounting older toys. Case in point, One near my work still has a singe CW Ironhide and Mirage, priced at something ridiculous like $26, while the TR deluxes are at $19-$22. WTF!

So, as a potential future customizer, do you disassemble them before spray painting, or is there some other trick?
