Yesterday I went to Wal*Mart in hopes to find a Gojulas Giga before heading to Fred Meyers, expecting to pay the $35 they charge for him. but luck held up and I snagged one up for $13 (yay me) when I was assembling him I was somewhat dismayed that while putting it together the Legs would not stay on, and without maticulous attention in holding them when tilting it they would fall off. I could not solve this but I also noted that the segmented peices controlling the Head Motion and the Roaring Activation would not activate as the Disc on the Leg Rotater Disc circled around, only the Leg Mechanism Worked, so I snipped of pieces of the Rubber Sprues, and cut them in half length wise, and using a pair of Tweezers I permanentlly pushed them into the gap, making the switches stay forward rather then remain upon the cycling rotations to activate.
Just an idea for those who have had similar difficulty with Gojulas Giga, also.. does anyone have recomendations to fixate the Legs upon their mechanisms as to prevent them from falling off?

Some less concerning difficulties are the fact that (as Phenotype also noted) was that instead of Pursuit Mode it is listed as Purse mode, and also the fact that his Type is listed as 'Gigantosaurus' instead of 'Giganotosaurus' while this may seem no different to most it means that Gojulas Giga is a Sauropod (like Brachiosaurus) not a Theropod (like Tyrannosaurus Rex) Quite a big Mistake in my opinion

They need to learn there dinosaurs.

Okay, first, don't walk it on carpet.
Second, try manually forcing the motor to walk and make sure that it's locked into one of it's modes when you do it. I had to do that with mine and it cleared up.

It walks just fine across my Desk, no clicking or stuttering in it's motion, simply that the hips fall off unless it remains perfectlly vertical.

Weird. My Gojulas Giga is solid. Perhaps there's a misaligned piece in there somewhere?

My NAR Giga works fine. Maybe yours was a defect and that is why it was sold cheap.

They wouldnt have known that it was a defect. hmm... I would say check the legs and such again, but also check that the big pieces that allow it to change modes are on correctly. if they are'nt, then teh zoid will not work.

make sure that the silver vent thingy that goes on the sides right next to the legs are against the body all the way and not poping out
