I may just put him in storage and never take him out again, such a waste of my money. My revoltech Take is more durable than that thing and it was a fraction of its price. Volks screwed meeeeee
Sorry to hear about your A3, but yeah it happens. You can get a small pin vice, drill some holes in each ends of the broken pegs, and insert a small brass rod. That will repair the breaks with more firmness. For the lose fits, you can also redrill the holes, add a little super glue, and stick a rod in while wiggling it around to roughen the edges and prevent the rod from sticking. That should give you a firmer fit. Use some tissue paper if you dont want to risk the super glue.
