Ok, so after an awesome day that ended with my aquisicion of a Tourney set I played a breif game of my three villains VS Spidey and some other heroes. Well the villains won, in large part to Sandman who I soon began loving insanly. So I played another game... and Sandman shot out his missle, and it became a prodder. I shot again, it shot out, and fell an inch out... and so I looked in the trigger thingey and nothing was blocking it. the bullet's not bent. And yet each time I shoot it it either becomes a prodder, shoots out a few inches with less force then a butterly flapping its wings, or flys aways with the same force as the second example. I played with him once and now he's done broke!!! Luckily I have enough Starscreams to be willing to dissmantle one and glue his gun to the side of Sandman's hand, but I'd much rather fix Sandman. Someone Please Help!!!

The main thing that I check when this happens is if the spring is not actally contracting completly. Sometimes the springs will bend a little and end up folding over instead of contracting. This will take away a lot of your firing power.
Sometimes you need to put the bullet in a diffrent way. Twist it, rotate it, and wiggle it to make sure your spring doesn't get caught on anything. I hope these help.

Get your receipt and bring it back. It was defective when you bought it!

I have had this happen before with my S1 palpatine it sucks I fixed it but acidently tore his hands off for good, any way I don't Know if it is the same problem inside the figure but mine did the same thing also with magneto what was wrong with mine was the little red circle at the front of the missle had broke [the part you can't see] and the other was the was that there is a very small spring connected to that red circle that had come out of place.

hmmm....well all I can say is take it back (like Joe also suggested) unless there is some part of the story you are not telling us, it sounds like it was defective when you bought it.
I also have a Sandman and this hasn't happened yet (hopefully never will) I don't favor him too much though so I won't be heartbroken if it is defective but I would be kinda ticked off!

wow.......sucks when things break when u first by them...kind of happened to my SVT vader. After a weak it stopped striking. Maybe some WD-40. But then again, its a shooter issue. I would return it like Joe said.

[glow=red,2,300]That has happened to me in the past with Electro. Can you pull the missle out?
