Sure. Both Optimus and Megatron have electrical issues. Optimus’s holo arm and Megatron’s head both light up. When they are switched on with all batteries they light up like normal but when you turn them off the lights don’t go off but cut to half brightness. If I remove one battery from each piece they work as they should. I’m no wiring expert so I’m unable to figure out where to start without making it worse and if I leave the batteries in it's just going to drain them faster.
I’ve already fixed the large cable on Optimus base without making a fuss but I’m at the point where the amount I pay for these things just doesn’t justify the hassle and it’s eating away at my enjoyment of this hobby.
As for Todd. It’s been a year and three months with no arm. The first one took him six months to get and it was included with other customers replacement parts and they all got smashed. So he had to get another one. Unfortunately he told me XM has no parts so he’s going to pull one from his stock. Don’t know how that works when he's been sold out at SF for half a year and now it’s back in stock. As for the Megatron head that just took two months. Now I have to deal with this Bumblebee plaque issue. The issue I have is I talk to Todd quite frequently and have given him a ton of my own business and pushed new customers to him. I ask him to send the stuff and he forgets, he remembers and tells me they will go out and he forgets. I’m very patient and he’s a great guy but it’s starting to annoy me. I know we all go through this as it’s part of the hobby and there’s extenuating circumstances at the moment but somethings got to give.
