Well for the record, mine didn't break, but I seem to be in the minority. I seriously doubt any of them were "manhandling" their figures...many of these people had Kyoryujin on display and had never touched it until the first time they tried to connect Ptergordon and the break happened. Even if they didn't line up the pegs and connect them all perfectly at exactly the same time, the fact still remains that this is a toy that's meant to be played with by small children and it doesn't even hold up for collectors who want to display it on their shelves. Its for that reason that I sold mine and decided to wait for whatever the BoA release happens to be.
But look I get it, the simple fact is that these toys are meant for children to play with and do whatever. In that regard it's crazy that it's so easily broken. But as I've stated previously, as collectors we handle stuff with quite a bit more care than a child does. Using that kind of caution and care, especially already knowing that the issue exists, there really shouldn't be an issue. Mine hasn't broken yet either, because I know a problem exists and I've taken the steps to connect and remove it properly. It's like a bandaid, just do it all at once instead of trying to rock one set out first.

It's not like Gabutyra's entire body is designed solely to accommodate them or anything

I really like PlezOh's robot mode. He looks fantastic!

You think the BOA release will be better? You must like less functionality, inaccurate transformations, no electronics, and less paint apps

The new Gosei morpher is VERY comparable to the Tensouder (compare the Samurai morpher to the Shodophone). I think that by the time Kyoryuger is adapted to PR that (hopefully) the megazords will have seen the same increase in quality. |

Oh, no, I have no doubt that the BoA release will suffer major differences, but I'd rather spend $30 for a subpar model than $90 for a broken BoJ version.

While I don't care for the toy, I have to admit that those shots from the show look pretty awesome
