There's actually a special support clip designed into Rollar to help Movie Prime hold him in gun mode, but it just doesn't work out all that well. With some finagling you can get it balanced, but since Movie Prime can only loosely grip the actual handle, it comes apart pretty easily. Classics Prime uses good old fashioned peg-in-fisthole, so that part's solid. You just have to find the right balance point otherwise.

I think Rollar's well worth the money, even if you don't have all the Primes he can interact with. The packaging is -absolutely superb- and frankly astonishing in quality, given that it's fan-made. The toy is very well-sculpted with some pretty intricate paint-apps and translucent plastic, and for a design based largely on friction joints he's pretty solid. The whole thing feels very professional.

Much like City Commander, I believe this level of quality vs the price has really spoiled us in the context of unofficial "garagekit" TF merchandise. If you don't really care about fanmade/garagekit stuff then you'll likely feel a bit ripped off by the price, but if you consider where this piece is coming from then I believe you'll get your money's worth.
