Now I'm curious here, I have a Tomy Buster Eagle but I keep seeing these posts (mostly by the same 2 or 3 people) claiming that the joints on their Hasbro Buster Eagle don't work. I find this really hard to believe, mainly because there's no reason for Hasbro to change the joints. I have a feeling the people having problems just aren't turning them hard enough but I could be wrong. Is there anyone out there who has a Hasbro Buster Eagle with working joints? I like to put misinformation to rest.

I have a dozen Hasbro Buster Eagles, and have assembled 5 of them. Each any every one has perfectly working joints. They may be a bit stiff at first untill you work them a few times, but they all work just fine and dandy.

That's what I thought. SO, the misinformation has been officially dispelled. Those of you saying Hasbro changed the joints need to put some muscle into it and turn them a little harder, I know mine were a bit stiff at first too. The Hasbro bashing is really getting out of control around here, people are blaming Hasbro for things that aren't even Hasbro's fault. I'm getting sick of it and I know a lot of other people do so from now on if I see a post that's needlessly bashing Hasbro and doesn't say anything worthwhile I'm going to delete it.

Just adding a little additional confirmation to what Genesis is saying, plus the fact that Hasbro made Buster Eagle availiable at a great price ($15 as opposed to Importing it then paying shipping) was a blessing fer me.

I have the Hasbro one, and its joints work fine. Of course you can't even look at the thing for long without one of those stupid feathers on the neck falling off but that's another story...
No I don't really care for Blox. I like to think of my Buster Eagle as my Zoids bookend. >:)

Where'd you get a dozen Hasbro BE's? I haven't seen even one! Walmart had them for $14.99 when they came out, picked up a few there. Bi-Mart had them on clearance at $6.00 over the holidays, picked up a bunch there. They have been out for a while now...... |

hmm... Really? Oops. Sorry. Just how hard did you have to poush to get these things to turn exactly, I am scared of breaking mine is what probably lead to my belief that they are broken. (that and someone told me that on the blox connector post.) Well, I did appriciate Hasbro for bringing in a lot of models, because that helps a lot for small blox models especially. And, a story of a universal failure, my tomy blade liger's body piece (the stuff surrounding the motor) Broke when I took it out of the frame, and i didnt rip it out, i used wire clippers, and that part in the bottom front broke. Being such an early failure in building the model, I was furious, but then was okay after I krazy glued it back. It never has fit perfectly since, however...
