Hello fellow arkers. I don't where to go in this forum. I just broke the peg of the biceps of my Cyclops. Can you guys teach me on how to fix it. I was planning to glue it back at first, but it will lose its articulation.I'm not a customizer , that's why !'m asking you nicely to help me solve this problem. Any suggestions?

Lots of ways to fix this depending on what materials you have on hand. A mini screw (like the size you find in eyeglasses) threaded and glued in place of the original peg would work. Post this in the custom general discussion thread and you'll probably get quite a few good tips from people. Good luck!

@ultraman zoffy I'll try that, thanks bro.

My understanding is that there were less than a handful of each produced and like the guy in the video says there were only given out to some Hasbro employees because Hasbro decided at the time to not use them as variants for the MU toyline.

Thanks for the info, I've always wondered how these super rare variants got out. It would cost a fortune to be a completionist of this line. I'm glad the swap variants are a lot easier to get a hold of now... At least dagger and a bomb.

Luke in a wife beater.... funny.

[bmorr]

it would have been a really nice nod to his original costume on Luke if his shirt was yellow.

Continuing on from my previous rant (sorry I'm having a crappy week overall), why is the Undercover Assault set so bloody much? I remembered when it first hit UK stores, it was selling for retail + shipping pretty much everywhere online... but I was broke as a joke at that time. Now that I can afford it, I'm not able to win any on eBay. I've lost on three of them this month alone, and the last one went for 60 GBP ($100ish) more than I had bid!

what is the undercover assault set?

That's the set with helmetless Iron Man and War Machine plus Black Widow, from the Iron Man 2 line. It never officially released in the states to my knowledge despite having a "Target exclusive" sticker, but a few months back there was a massive amount of them that showed up at discount shops in the UK.

I believe that set was really hard to find even in the UK, and was almost immediately being scalped for insane prices. It was never in normal retail, it appeared in TK Maxx in very limited numbers and vanished instantly because people were selling it on eBay.

When it first hit, I remember it selling both here and eBay for $30 + shipping-ish at the most. Some here were willing to turn it over for the price they paid + shipping.

ak ok. forgot all about that set. Did that set have tony in a business suit?

That's because it took a while for people to realise it was even on eBay. I watched it go from £30 to £50 to £80 in barely a month. The people on here I think were just being nice to Arker's who'd mebbe helped them out, or just trying to not rip off fellow collectors by only charging what they paid.

Like I said, this was just some kind of overstock item that only turned up in small numbers at some TK Maxx stores. It was rare as hens teeth even then, hence the price hike and the scarcity now. Unless a new batch turn up, I think it will stay pricey. Then again, wasn't the fuss about the Stark head, and hasn't that now appeared on another set?

I kinda like that Widow... just one more reason I was pissed not to find the set. 100 trips to TK Maxx and nothing.

Yeah the Widow's what I was most after. I wanted to get all of the 3.75 Widows and since Yelena and shortcut Natasha are probably out of my hands forever I wanted to at least get IM2 Scarlet-Widow. I can make my own Tony and I already have the Rhodey.

The mini screw method does work,I am not able to say I know how to do it but I know someone who did fix a MU Punisher (most recent version) that had the same thing happen.
