wouldn't mind if it didn't come with any accessories besides what is on display here, if that meant those things would then be sold separately. just imagine all missile packs you could buy. even better if the same happened with the advanced and its pack. its my dream to have all the weapons, most importantly the arm cannon, with an advanced pack, all together on just either one of the versions of the 19. its bandai though, so its definitely never gonna happen. even if they did it, the way they announce things would ruin any ability to plan to collect the pieces a la carte like that ☹️

Mine is kind of like that, but not as severe, so I didn't complain about it before. I just kind of gently torque the panel with the hinge stem's flex in mind, while pressing it down the last bit of the way, until it kind of just gets blocked and binds against the opposite other door panel. Then it stays closed in a very slightly slanted and bulging by less than a hair kind of way, but its close enough if you don't let ocd take over kind of way. My superpack missile door panels that I mentioned before though, is almost as bad as what you have here, and I haven't managed to fix it.

I had tried chilling it and then warming it with no results before my first post, maybe because it wasn't extreme enough. At some point, I got the barrel out all the way after I decided to go ham and wrap my shirt over it for grip. Not the best idea since being unable to see or feel the piece warping under such violent motion is probably risky. Seems even half a second of direct skin contact is enough moisture that I lose the grip needed to extend and retract it. Even though there's not really a fix, it's kind of a relief to know others have the issue and it seems it could be coexisted with as long as caution is taken lol With that out of the way, my unit only has couple tiny issues that don't bug me too much. One of my super pack missile doors don't seem to open all the way, but it's not too bad. Don't know if there's injection flash on the joint, or the piece is just warped. I've already accidentally popped out the missle array and the doors on another side, so I know how it assembles and might be able to fix it when I'm not lazy. The other issue is that the fuselage doesn't seem to lock in to anything in battroid mode. I've got the cockpit pointed at the underside of the collar plate, but the two just wiggle from each other and I'm not sure if that is supposed to be normal. The whole upper torso feels vaguely held in its form simply by the fact that the nose cone is trapped behind the chest emblem piece. Maybe I'll have to come around and watch a video to make sure I've got it right And also, the hand peg or the slit on the gun's grip is already coming loose... I have yet to find out if those two just never interfaced well, or mounting and removing the gun from various positions and holding the knife once each has already chewed up the parts.

I'd be first in line to try it, but I can't exend my barrel out in the first place lol. Unless you mean the radiator also pops out and I can slip the barrel itself out the back. If you mean the inner shoulder/ collar joint, mine came severely misaligned too. Mine did also come with the intake underneath that part refusing to plug in to the upper body, and I just blamed all the misalignment on that. I've since gotten the intake to seemingly clip in and stay flush after rotating it into a steeper cant during transformation. Haven't put it back into fighter though, so I don't know if transforming fixed it. The wings did also take some careful violence to get flapping.

Hi all. Lurker here. Just got my Durandal in and been trying to go through the initial break in transformations. On to the point. The telescoping barrel on the right side of the back swivel turret gets stuck part way inside the also telescoping radiator shroud. Anywhere past halfway and it starts to get very sticky already. Stopping from that point on is enough to get it jammed very tight and possibly require dangerous amounts of pushing to get it to retract. I've already scuffed up my fingers trying wear it in by pumping it in and out like an idiot, but probably isn't happening with how durable the plastic is. If it's not my hand that breaks, sooner or later the barrel or the turret's dinky support arm will. At it's farthest, I've pulled it out close to the point where the engraved details at the base of the barrel are still just barely hidden. But retracting it back from that spot took nearly an hour of pure violence... Anyway, does anyone have tricks to loosen it up, or know how to disassemble the turret so the internals could be cleaned up?
