Fixing broken attacktix?

[stonecutter]

Hello Everyone,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but if anyone knows how to fix a broken attacktix toy I figured they would be in this forum.

I have a Gambit that is pretty new, but the "tire" split in half and fell out so it no longer tix. Is there a way to take the Gambit apart and repair the tire (possibly taking apart one of my many extra Pyro's for the wheel maybe)?

Any suggestions or is Gambit toast?

Thanks for your help.

I haven't had any luck in trying to pry apart the base of my figures. While the glue connecting the figure to the base can sometimes be on the weak side, it bonds pretty well on keeping the base together. Of course, now that it's already a lost cause, you might try going at yours anyway, it might be looser than the ones I've experimented on.

Yes, I have done this before I took a jedi knight base apart to take his wheel and put it in my r2-d2 just take the bases apart and put the wheel in it however I do not advise you to try this cause instead of one broke attacktic you get two.

Thanks for the advice. My son has three Pyro's that neither of us ever uses, so I decided to experiment. I used a small, thin screwdriver to pry the base off(kind of like opening a can of paint). The Gambit base came off no problem(it has a chrome b ase and it got a little scratched up). Pyro came off easy as well. I took the rod with the wheel on it and put it in the Gambit. Popped the base back into the figure and the Gambit was working fine.

Thanks again for your help. Happy experimenting to you all.

that exact same thing happed to me!! except with Royal guard, and I used super glue. I was fine for about 2 weeks, and by fine it would make a different tick tone, then I replaced the wheel with another.
