My Armored Vader is having a tough time keeping himself together. I've already glued him once, but there aren't a lot of potential glue spots, and you have to be very careful so he still rotates. He was able to strike a few times, but he couldn't manage Yoda here. Has anybody else had to deal with this?

Wow, thats defiantly a problem, can't say thats ever happen to me. The only problem with my Vader is his sticker is wearing so now it's half white and half black with his stats. Plus didn't he get the armor because he looked like that after the mustafar fight?

i lost my vader cause my dog chewed off the hand i didnt know that my dog could chew through it Do you still have the rest of Vader? Perhaps you could find a figure that you could snag an arm from. A Dooku arm might fit on there. And I hope you can find someone else to play with besides your dog... they lose about as well as a wookiee.

Not that particular problem, but my "baseball bat" Yoda also had an arm peel off, along with his hand and lightsaber blade snap. I've found that only Wal-Mart's house brand of super glue will hold my broken Attacktix together.

the only reason that vader cant hold himself together is because he is fighting yoda

I'll give the WalMart brand of super glue a try. I noticed in your tutorial that you hold the end of the saber when you use a striker. Do you think that's why Yoda's blade snapped? The lightsabers bend very easily, so I've always held onto their arm or something closer to the body instead. I've wondered if doing that lessens their striking ability (but lengthens their life)

Nope; I use all strikers the same way, and it's only that one Yoda that's had any blade breakage whatsoever. Given his other issues (i.e., arm peeling, repeated hand flinging until I figured out how best to super glue it in), I think it was a bum figure. I keep him, though, because he's certainly distinctive As I've figured it out, holding it anywhere but the tip will create untoward friction when you release it, thus lessening the striking power of the striker.

I had similar problems with my Vader. In fact, the first time we played with him his saber arm flew off. When I checked it out, in fact his whole upper torso was ready to split in half. Since everyone knows by know that you can't play attacktix without having super glue close at hand, we snapped his arm back on, glued the shoulders together and now he's the most awesome piece in our collection (we did have some glue "seepage" however, so his off hand is forever in the flexing bodybuilder position, oh well)

Yes, I had this exact same thing happen to me last week. I haven't tried gluing/taping him together yet. I hoping to be able to savage him. Sorry to see I wasn't the only one this happened to.

Now I am worried, I only have one Vader and I just got him and he is easily my favorite, for obvious reasons, I think I need to get another one.
