I had a repair question for a go-bot. Anyone know how to fix Leader-1's droopy wings?

If you want to try it.........
This is going to sound nuts........but if you can get the wing pin out of the toy.....try putting a scant teeny tiny amount of super glue or if you're not so sure and want to test first.....some paint on the pin where the plastic makes contact with the metal and allow it to dry.
I find magnets are wonderful for holding metal parts while they dry. I haven't ever fixed a Go-Bot like that though, so I don't know if the metal is ferrous or not.
Anyhoo........
Re-insert the pin when dry and the added material on the pin should make enough friction between the parts to make the wing stand on its own. The small amount of space between the pin and plastic should make it so that any dust that will wear off will stay on the toy in the cracks of the affected areas and not affect the standing up ability of the wing section.
I have some Turbo and Crusher parts I can scrounge up. You want them? I'll even cover the shipping and all.

So true - I like to taint Mrs S's colourful displays of Care Bears and rainbow brite with funny stuff..... remember Pee Guy?

I'm getting her a set of zombies this Christmas. Oh - and an Albert Einstein figure to go with Jesus. Don't ask
