anime52k8 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I would absolutely not under any circumstance use a screwdriver on to pry up those parts. If you're having trouble separating them from the legs when transforming out of fighter mode, the best thing to do is fold the tailfins down and un-peg the wing gloves then rotate the legs to pop them free of the shoulders.

kamadoma Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I'm not into the pulling down the legs while the shoulders are still attached. If the connection was that tight, pulling the legs down while connected to the shoulders might stress down the shoulders. The first step in the manual was to detach the shoulders, and there has to be a good reason that the said step wasn't included with the pull-the-leg-down step. Then again, that's just my opinion on this. I have used a flat screwdriver for around five times before when my nails were clean and it worked like a charm back then. I wish I had done the same last night when I tried to transform it again. It somehow ensures that you get enough force to pop out the shoulders without the risk of pulling it beyond its articulation. Well, at least I do know how risky that step is when I get other VF-19 toys. Edited July 30, 2012 by kamadoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 A screw driver is going to scrape away all the paint from the tip of the shoulder pauldron and didn't say anything about pulling the legs strait down. Fold up the tail fins, unpeg the wing from the lower leg then twist the lower leg outward, that will pop the inner clip free of the shoulder with minimal force.

kamadoma Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Oh I see. So it's about taking out the inner clip out than simultaneously. Thanks, man. Still glad I'm a Fighter mode fan and that I plan to get another Kai when I get a new cabinet. Edited July 31, 2012 by kamadoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicker773 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 was it earth quake? i should really have the insurance guy stop by and take a look.. I"ve read the policy but I don't think it clearly states anything of that nature. Maybe...should have been a lawyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanix Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Some guy in HK had a shelf collapsed, covered by insurance. http://www.toysdaily....php?tid=190974 Ouch! =( Glad it's covered by warranty, I think the problem is trying to track stock down (and for a humane price).
