Toa of Gallifrey Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 One of Hahli Mahri's feet broke and I was gonna order a replacement from BL but then I remembered the 07 lime fiasco. Are there any lime joints (with the 01-07 design) produced? Or are they all brittle? Quote
Aanchir Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 One of Hahli Mahri's feet broke and I was gonna order a replacement from BL but then I remembered the 07 lime fiasco. Are there any lime joints (with the 01-07 design) produced? Or are they all brittle? The foot joints? Yeah, there exist ones from before the fiasco. Can't guarantee perfect quality because even the old joints tend to become a bit fragile after enough use. The Nui-Rama and Keelerak both used them. If you'd had trouble with the double joints used for Hahli and Ehlek's arms and legs it'd be a lot harder to come up with a solution, since the 7M double joints have ALWAYS been more fragile than regular Y-joints, and the 5M ones weren't available until 2007.

VBBN Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 It's kind of a hit or miss if you are trying to order them from BL, there's no telling which one you are getting unless you are actually buying Keelerak or the Nui-Rama, or the buyer specifically states what it's from These are the current lime joints I have- Ones on the left are still in perfect condition, ones in the middle are strong but slightly cracked, and ones on the right I only use with CCBS, as I fear putting them on older style balljoints will decimate them. The ones on the left and middle are mixed from Keelerak and 2007 sets. I believe the ones with a very slight lighter difference in tone are Keelerak's, but really most BL sellers will just throw them on there as lime y-joints and have no idea which variant it is. If it's Keelerak/Nui Rama style it should do pretty well, but ones from 2007 are a time bomb. (Boy this is sad seeing how little joints I have... I really could do with some Lime-recolored CCBS Y-joints..) Quote

Wait, CCBS balls don't destroy the '08 sockets? Thats really neat if that's the case. Quote

There is still a chance they will break, however the CCBS ball design causes less of a shock to sockets, so it's not as destructive as older balljoints. They will still eventually break, but I find it increases the lifespan somewhat. Quote
Dorek Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 The colors are slightly off, if it matters to you. The earlier lime doesn't quite match up with the 07 lime. Quote
robuko Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I destroyed almost all my remaining ones building a CCBS dragon last month Quote
