anyone else having trouble with R2's third leg staying up, if you want to have him standing straight?

Not me but I could see how that could be an issue.
Here is a link to my review Blog that I did for these two. Feel free to check it out and leave comments.

Thanks Chaosorb.
Hey, I've always meant to ask you; what's your user name mean?
I used to play mtg card game back in the day and it was one of my favorite cards. If used properly you could really destroy your opponent. I've been using the name for so long it just kind of stuck.

Got my ex earlier this week, 1 word to describe it - disappointment.
I didnt bother to even set them up, the chrome paint on c3po's looks amateurish, the areas where there is detail you can see the paint stacked - signs it was just sprayed without much thought, lots plastics as well.
r2d2 finish actually looks better but no attempt were made to show the can as metal instead of plastic.
I dont have a big problem with plastic as many of you do, as long as it is done well, for $750 i expect it at least to be hot toys quality level - it is not.
Thing is repacked and in storage, i am deciding to leave it there or return to sideshow.
Not happy.

Here are some pics of my EX (#019/200). I absolutely love these guys. Both look great with great articulation and light up features. Can't say enough good about them so I'll let the pictures do the talking.
The happy couple...
R2 striking out on his own...
Damn Jawas got him again

Here is C3PO in all his prissy, frightened glory.
R2 come back here!
It is our lot in life to suffer.

Great point!
I don't have an issue with plastic either, but as much as I love these guys, you are 100% right; for $750 they should be Hot Toys level and if you were to compare the finish/build/etc of these vs the Hot Toys 1/4 T-800 - the Hot Toys kicks their teeth in across the board.

so who's gonna be the first to attempt to mod R2 ever so slightly so his restraining bolt will be located on the correct panel?

I've already done a slight mod - I painted in the black line on the panel that opens where his arm comes out.
All the photos I took (and have seen) looks like there's a smudge on the photo over that panel and looking into it, R2 has the black line around that panel (like all the others).

Does anyone have a picture of these guys in a besta? Wondering how much space they take up.
