The Jinrai Wobble

Post by Halfshell »

Or "The Powermaster Prime Wobble" or "The Nucleon Quest Super Convoy Wobble." It applies to them all...

Or it might just be me.

Okay, so you transform the cab to combine with the trailer, then you slot it into the gap, where it rests peacefully creating a lovely brickformer.

Except it doesn't. Because the bugger doesn't sit in there properly. It sits at an ever-so slightly crooked angle. Not enough to notice from a distance, but enough to really annoy somebody who's trying to line it up properly.

Or is it just me?

I have an old-time Prime and a God Ginrai reissue, and both of them are fine...

I agree with Reflector, I got both, old PM Prime, and a GG re-issue, and both are perfectly fine.

My cab guy doesn't sit flush with the back, either. I can kind of wedge him in to fit, but he usually pops back out those few millimeters (not much, but enough to annoy). Not sure what can be done about that, either...

My PM Op does that. Not sure about my God Ginrai because I haven't noticed.

Have you been in my room, playing with my toys? Because mine does that and it irritated me for the first couple of days. Then I transcended...

You threw Ginrai in the bin and got a decent figure like Hooligan, aka Spacetigger [thanks Ashra...]?

So then I take it that you're the one who left the semen trail on my wall. Or was it someone else?

That's not semen - it's ectoplasm. Your home has been haunted by Casper.

Yeah, you have to slide his legs downward a bit, so that they're still against him, but lower than they should be. He stays in place better with God Ginrai, but he can be difficult to get him out at times.

HA!

Mine doesn't seem to have that problem. Brendocon - you're just defective, mail yourself back to Japan for a refund.
